RCA connectors can be used for both composite (1 connector) video and component (3 connector) video. The quality order is:
BASIC - Composite (1 RCA wire, Yellow)
BETTER - S-Video (1 wire, usually black)
BEST - Component (3 RCA wires, Red, Green Blue)
Composite can only send standard definition video, up to 480i.
S-Video can only send standard definition video, up to 480i.
Component can send video up to 1080i High Definition.
Can a scart cable carry 5.1 surround sound?
Technically . . . Yes. But it would all depend on the device pushing the signal to send the proper signals through the proper pins and the receiving device to recognize these signals on the same pins. The basic setup of this cable is just left and right audio signals, as well as video.
What do the Y and Pb and Pr cables do and mean?
Y=Green/sync, Pb=blue, Pr = red. These are video cables where the colors have been separated into it basic Green, Blue and Red signals. Makes it easier for the digital system to work with (and coincidentally, cheaper to make) by driving the individual color components separately.
What models of Argus slide projector use 543 tray?
The Automatic 543 is the model of the projector that takes this tray.
Does an S-Video cable also carry audio?
S-video cables carry two video signals. One carries brightness information (the Luma signal) and the other carries color information (the Chroma signal). Together they deliver a complete color picture. There is no audio carried by the cable, either as a separate signal or imbedded in the video signals. To get audio, another cable or set of cables will be needed. There are some multi-pin connectors that carry not only vide but audio and control as well. The SCART connector which is commonly available in Europe is one such example. This connector can carry a variety of video signals, two channel audio and some control lines as well. Most of the analog multi-pin connectors are being replaced by HDMI, a digital connection that carries all signals in a digital encoded format.

Access the input menu on the monitor and select the video input you want. Some monitors have a video select switch on the outside of the case.
Is Black wire vs black wire with white stripe positive or negative?
Any marking (a white stripe, bump molded into the cable, different wire colours) is an indication for your reference only. It doesn't matter, as long as you connect the marked side on the amplifier to the same polarity on the speaker side.

In a 5.1 system, the speakers should be beside or behind you, ideally at ear level or above. In a 7.1 system, the left and right speakers should be beside you, and the read surrounds (or surround) behind you.
What are receivers used for in a home theater?
You need a receiver to control all the options in your home theater. The receiver is your main unit that will directly send signals to the speakers for their best performance!
How do you match speakers with amplifiers watts ohms max power ect?
You always want to buy speakers rated higher than the max RMS output of the amp. I've blown plenty of speakers in my day as soon as I turned it on.
Ohms is just as important. Never connect two or more speakers in parallel. This cuts the ohms to less than half and you will blow the amp if its not designed for it . You can connect speakers in series if you like but this cuts your RMS output to less than half and also could blow the amp. One speaker per channel and keep the gain nob one level below max to be safe.
Car amps 4 ohms speakers.
House amps 8 ohms unless specified.
That answer (above) is not much help, nor true. (I wouldn't trust someone who has blown "plenty of speakers", it sounds like a poke and hope job.) Unfortunately, the correct answer is hard to obtain because the people who sell amplifiers and speakers don't always use the RMS power rating for CONTINUOUS power when describing the components. These manufacturers know that we folks are into POWER and they usually advertise the components "PEAK" power rating. WOO HOO!
But bottom line, it's easier to blow the amp with higher rated speakers because the the amp is working too hard to fill that big jug so to speak. The rule is to get an amp with about twiceas much RMS value of wattage at 8 ohms as the speakers RMS value at 8 ohms. You'll need to leave the room because your ears will be throbbing before you'd do any damage to your speakers.
But yes, it's always important to follow these steps and be sure to connect your speakers and inputs (mikes, instruments, etc.) first, AND have the power level controls SET LOW, then power up, and then adjust the volumes up until you get your sound right.
Connecting speakers in parallel is a whole different topic, but it LOWERS the ohms resistance and yes, it takes lesser wattage to blow them.
Why are people short and fat on flat screen tv?
You are probably watching a 4:3 (square) broadcast on a 16:9 (rectangle) television. Your TV should have format modes, cycle through them until you find one you like better than the "strech" mode it is likely set to now.
How do you remove a flat screen tv from a wall mount?
Every wall mount is different. You should not unscrew the bolts that connect the TV chassis to the mount until it has been removed from the wall. If it is a large TV (40" +), have someone else help you. Some mounts use a bar system, some use a hook system. If you can find a model and make on the mount, check out the website of the manufacturer for installation instructions.
Why are Rdx surround sound products selling for cheap?
Because they are junk and don't work. You get what you pay for.
I recently bought this system, like most who have it, from a person selling them from their car. I will not go as far to say that they are a peice of junk! The receiver works find, the speakers work well. Still, the volume does seem a little less than what you would expect for 1400 watts/channel! All in all,I consider this purchase a good one. I payed $250.00 for a DX7010.
How do you hook up two VCRs to a projector?
Only if your projector has two inputs,hook up the output video/audio of VCR into the input video/audio of the projector.
Radio Shack sells switchers to do this very function.
Why is your LCD tv picture starting to dim?
More than likely your "back light" is going out. This is unfortunate, as it can be fairly expensive to replace. The backlight is just that, on an lcd set, the backlight is a large array of very small lights that illuminate the lcd screen from "behind". Hence the name. A good way to tell if its dying, is to check the contrast setting on the tv. If you can set it near the max, and it's still pretty dim, your backlight is definitely going out on ya.
Can you wall mount a 82 inch tv?
You may be able to, depending upon the monitor. You will not be able to use a standard VESA mount with a TV of this size.
Check with the manufacturer and see if they offer a custom mount for this model, and follow the mounting instructions carefully, as screens of this size can damage your wall.
