How do you test speaker wire?

If you have access to a multi-meter, do a resistance check from end to end on each core while the cable is disconnected. You should have close to 0 ohms on both cores. Do a resistance check between the cores, while the cable is disconnected. You should have an open circuit between the two. Alternatively, connect one end to an amplifier, the other to a speaker and listen for sound. If nothing is heard, substitute the cable, then the speaker and finally the amplifier to establish where the fault is.

A 3.5 mm input is a line level signal, and a turntable has a phono level signal. You can connect these, but you will need a phono preamp to go in between the two. An RCA cable plugs into to the preamp from the turntable, and an RCA to 3.5mm cable connects the preamp to the stereo.

How do you hook up HDMI cable for surround sound system?

You will need:

A stereo amplifier
Speakers
An optical audio cable


1) Connect the HDMI cable from whatever you are trying to hook up (Virgin Box, Blu-ray player, PS3, Xbox 360) into the back of your television.
2) Connect the optical audio cable from the back of your television to the slot on your stereo amplifier.
3) Your amplifier should be connected to the speakers. If it isn't, do so (it should be covered in the manual)
4) You may need to configure Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound for it to work.
5) Ensure the amplifier is turned on.


Alternatively, you could connect your optical audio cable directly from what you are trying to rig up to the stereo. Either way should work.

Can a bad cable splitter cause sound problems for a TV?

With analog cable and receivers, no. With the use of HD cable receivers, the first sign of a bad splitter is audio dropouts. You should check to make sure that the splitter is rated for a bandwidth of at least 900MHz for digital cable. Changing out the splitter is very easy and cheap, so you should try to replace it and see if the problem goes away.

Have protechnik surround sound system and need to connect to universal remote but do not have code number?

As Protechnik is not a recoginzed national brand (it has been linked to 'white van' back-door sales), you are unlikely to get any universal remote control that has codes for these products. Even Logitech, who maintain the largest database of infrared codes of any remote manufacturer, do not list them.

Your only hope is to use a 'learning' remote control that can learn the codes from the original remote that you got with the unit....

They did give you a remote, didn't they?

I have a apex tv i want surround system what kind of cables do i need?

Connect the audio out of the TV to the audio input of the surround receiver with a dual RCA cable. Note that this connection isn't surround. You will need to connect a DVD, Blu-Ray or digital cable box to the surround receiver for true surround sound.

Can the front speakers in a surround sound system be used as stand alone speakers?

Yes and no. Depends on just which front surround speaker you're talking about. If the surround speaker set you have includes a subwoofer, then for standalone you really need the front speakers plus the subwoofer, as the fronts aren't designed to reproduce the bass, but rather to send the bass to the subwoofer. So if you used ONLY the front speakers without the subwoofer, then you'll have very poor bass in the resulting system. If you use the subwoofer plus the front speakers, then it should work just fine.

What provides better sound quality- an optical cable to the TV then the system or directly to the system?

If you're connecting out of the device to the TV's optical in, then from the TV's optical out to the receiver, you're wasting an optical cable. Just connect directly to the receiver. There shouldn't be any sound quality difference either way since it's a digital connection, but it's much cleaner with only one cable.

Can y cb and cr cables be used in place of y pb and pr cables?

Y Pb Pr cables are identical to those used for YUV, Y Cb Cr and RGB cables. They are therefore completely interchangeable. YUV and YPbPr signals are both referred to as component signals although the precise format of the signals are different. The interface is the same for each, namely three wires. The standard cable is a 75 Ohm co-ax cable terminated in RCA plugs for domestic equipment and BNC connectors for commercial equipment. It is always worth using good quality cable to avoid losses in the signal. RGB uses the same three wires but the signal is separated into three separate colors. Normally, an RGB signal will have additional cables for synchronisation signals so an RGB interface will often have 4 or 5 connectors.

Is it true that a plasma TV can be damaged if they are moved incorrectly that is to say that the material in the tv will fall onto the screen?

Our 50 inch Samsung Plasma was just picked up for warranty repair. They loaded it face down on foam in the back of a pick up truck. We had heard the same stories about you shouldn't lay them down because of the gases, etc. They told us that was a myth. They said this was the way they always transported them. We called the number in our manual to tell them and they also assured us it was a myth, that they could be transported on face down as long as it was on foam and strapped down.

How do you display video on a philips tv using a HDMI to dvi cable that's connected to the pc via a dvi to vga adapter?

You cannot connect a HDMI to a VGA video output on a computer. VGA is an analog signal and the DVI adapter connects it to the analog pins on the DVI cable (a DVI-I cable has both analog and digital pins). A HDMI to DVI cable connects to the cable's digital pins, therefore, no connection is being made. The easiest way to do this is to upgrade your computer's video card to one with a HDMI output. These can be purchased for less than $50.00, and will allow you to connect your computer to your TV with one cable and no adapters.
