Home Theater

A component video signal uses three separate channels or wires to deliver a complete color television signal. One of the three carries brightness information, known as the "luma" signal. The color information, known as "chroma" is carried on the other two signals. Component video is used in production and broadcast environments as it delivers the best possible quality. Although broadcast has almost completely moved to digital signals, the signal format is still component. Domestic applications often use composite signals, a single wire that carries both luma and chroma signals although component is provided on some equipment. RGB (red, green, blue)signals are often referred to as component. The two are different and are not compatible.

Depends on what your definition of "receiver" is, but most of the time - to the amplifier.

Consider:

if the receiver is some form of a device that receives some signal, and then decodes it to audio, then the receiver will hook into the amplifier, which in turn will drive the speakers (so the speakers go to the amplifier)

if, on the other hand, the receiver is a part of a wireless connection between the amplifier and speaker, then it really serves the role of a cable, so in essence you're again connecting the speakers to an amplifier (only using the receiver as an intermediary)

You would have to specify your case.

you will need to change the tv channel out put and maybe check system settings on ps3 for audio/video out.

Check Ebay. Noone makes Dual 8 projectors new.

Maybe. Modern LCD TV screens are soft, unlike the old hard glass CRT picture tubes. A nerf dart, shot from close range, could conceivably damage the screen.

A MP7 is not a video or audio file. It is a National Instruments Multisim Version 7 file for prototyping circuit boards.

There are many recommended electronic brands that make good wireless home theater systems. An example of one of these brands would be Sony who make high quality products.

The components that usually accompany a home entertainment system are speakers for surround sound, (either wireless or wired, stereo equipment, a DVD or Blu-ray player, and sometimes a television set.

Widescreen television formats have made an appearance in recent years. In Europe, widescreen (16 : 9 format) has been used widely for a number of years using standard definition broadcasting while in North America, widescreen has only been used with high definition broadcasting. In both cases, the change of shape has to be handled. All widescreen televisions will have their own way to deal with a 4 : 3 ratio image. The simplest method is to center the image on the screen and leave side curtains (black or gray areas) to fill the remainder of the screen. Most will allow the image to be stretched to fill the screen with the result that all images are mis-shapen. The last common method is to enlarge the whole of the image so that the width of the image fills the screen and the top and bottom of the image are lost. Some televisions allow the image to be panned to bias the zoomed image towards the top or bottom depending on the content. Broadcasters often have to cope with the same issues. Although the channel might be broadcast in widescreen, some of the content may still be 4 : 3. The image will be handled in the same ways as a domestic television but it is important to note that if side curtains are added to the image, the output is still in the wide screen format and the image cannot then be resized on the domestic television. In standard definition widescreen, a "wide screen signal" is used (WSS) within the television signal to tell the receiver what format the image is in. It is this WSS signal that is detected to establish what shape of image the television needs to use. WSS is never used in high definition as all HD images are widescreen.

i need to progra a rca system blink 4 remote to my westinghouse tv how do i do this

At the rear of the receiver there is a single RCA jack (phono socket) that is marked "audio out" and "sub-woofer". This is a mono feed that can be connected to a powered sub bass unit. It will not drive an un-powered bass speaker that does not have an internal amplifier. If the bass speaker is not powered, the audio out from the receiver can be taken to a single channel of another amplifier and the bass speaker then connected to the speaker output of the amplifier.

Humming can be the result of several things. One is called "ground loop noise" which has to do with the electricity. Try changing outlets or buying a filter (type of surge suppressor made for home audio). Monster Cable makes variants that are designed for subs. The other cause is bad connections with your wire. If you are either using speaker level connections or RCA wires, check the connections or change out the cable and see if that works.

The Sony Altus wireless system allows, among other things, to broadcast your iTunes library from your computer to your existing home sound system.

Put a capacitor and 1/2 amp fuse in both lines to the speakers. The amps may not like this because bsically you tie two outputs to one speaker adding a load to each amp. Incorrect. The amplifiers outputs are a very low impedance capable of putting out lots of power, and connecting two together could result in damage to one of them. Certainly no good sounds will result. Adding capacitors will distort the sound. too small a cap will lose the low frequencies, too large a cap will damage the amplifiers. So, you cannot do this without a switch. You could use a SPDT switch for each speaker, tying the grounds together, but some types of amplifier will not like this, so use a DPDT switch to switch both leads at the same time. A circuit could be designed to detect output on one of the two amplifiers and switch (via relays) the speakers to the active amp. <><><> I did this. Use a "line out converter" on the TV output. It converts it to a line level signal and loads the amp in the TV. Plug this into an aux input on the stereo. Use the stereo amp to listen to both.

We're talking about high voltage when we talk about the operating voltage of a cathode ray tube (CRT). The operating voltage can vary, as you can imagine. Tens of thousands of volts are not uncommon.

LED projectors are very different than your typical DLP and LCD projectors as they do not require a typical projector lamp like their predecessors. Led projectors require less maintenance than their counterparts and have much longer "lamp life" which is typically around 20,000 hours for an LED light source versus 2,000-4,000 for a conventional projector lamp.

LED projectors use the light harnessed by individual laser diodes to create the light that is usually created through a standard type of bulb or lamp.

a mess up in the headphone? you may need a new tv or new headphones

The headphone jack in the TV are switched so that the TV's speakers are turned off when you plug in the phones. This jack has been broken on your TV, so you need to get that part fixed (if it is a more recent TV) or replace the TV (if it is older). Note that the part itself is cheap, but getting at the jack can take several hours, which may make the repair more expensive than purchasing a new set. You can plug the audio output of the PS3 into a stereo system that has a headphone jack if you wish to listen to it.

Wometco Home Theater ended in 1986.

Well, there are lots of things to consider when buying a surround sound system:

- the number of channels in the system (2.1, 5.1, 7.1, etc.)

- the wattage of the amplifier in the system (a 400 watt system is going to be louder than a 200 watt amplifier, for example)

- the wattage of each speaker in the system (again, the more watts, the louder the speaker)

- the source of your audio (your game console may only output audio on two channels, or perhaps as many as seven)

- the number of inputs/outputs you'll need (and the types of ports associated)

- your budget (of course)!

Be sure to check online retailers before going into a retail store - tigerdirect.com and newegg.com often have great prices on their audio equipment.

Also, don't be afraid to look for used/older systems! If all you need is a five channel system, and you don't mind using RCA cables (the red and white cables we all know and love), it's quite possible that you can find a complete system with speakers for under $50 at a local second-hand store!

This, of course, would be a matter of personal opinion, but I try to check out the well known brands first. For example, Sony, RCA, Samsung and Yamaha. It is advisable to go to the store and take a listen to the systems so you can decide for yourself.

7.2 surround sound is dual subwoofers. Usually its only 7.1. If you have a 7.1 receiver then a simple y cable can allow you to connect two powered subwoofers.

True 7.2 surround is actually two different LFE (low frequency effects)(your subs) with a left and a right channel. Using a "y" cable wouldn't be 7.2 it would be 7.1 with two subs.

"A/V cables" (or any variation thereon) means audio/video cables. These cables carry sound and picture within the home for almost all home-entertainment equipment, such as televisions, VCRs, and DVD players. They are even used directly or with a plug adapter by other devices such as video cameras or game machines.

Until recently, the nomenclature referred only to the set of three A/V cables with one for picture (video), and two for stereo sound (audio). These cables are of the shielded type, terminated with a male connector, called a phono plug or RCA plug, on each end. The carried signals are all analog; the video signal carried is called composite video. Cable manufacturers color-code the cables or the connectors as follows: yellow for video, red for right-channel sound, and black for left-channel sound. But with the arrival of newer means of and standards for carrying sound and picture over wires, "A/V cables" can refer to any combination of wire types carrying sound and picture. Some other standards and technologies are S-video, component video, digital audio, digital optical audio, DVI video, and HDMI audio/video.

Bi-amping means using a crossover filter to separate high and low frequencies, and sending them to two separate amplifiers, which power the high- and low-frequency drivers in the speaker separately. This is in contrast to the use of a single amp and a passive crossover filter.

The primary advantage to bi-amping is lower distortion, due to a) more accurate, active crossover circuitry, b) better impedance matching between the amp and the driver, c) no passive components between the amp and the drivers, and d) no electrical interaction between the drivers. The frequency response is improved, also, due to better phase matching between drivers in the crossover range.
