Home Theater

Audio software is great for those wanting to mix music or work with other types of recorded audio. Software like Sony's Sound Forge help users edit audio, from music to speeches, as well as add interesting effects and cutting speeches into several parts.

1. The best way of testing a picture tube is by switching the TV set to an empty of channel with plenty of snow (RF noise). If you look see the snow looking sharp in the center of the screen, in the corners of the screen (this is the furthest point from the center of the screen), the snow should still look sharp. However If the snow looks blotchy on the edges of the screen you can safely say the tube is on its way out. Ps as the TV tube becomes old, it might need its refocusing control adjusted.
2. The second test is the grey scale dynamic test, the TV's black and white scale should be a constant B/W and not tinted in any way with a primary color over the broad range spectrum of the luminance. However when a CTV tube become old they do need grayscale adjustment, this should be done by competent TV technician.
3. The third test is "flaring", this occurs when the cathodes of the CTV tube are "poisoned", usually by an under driven low cathode voltage say 5.0 volts instead of 6.3 volts on the tube filament operating voltage. A quick test for "flaring; first switch on to a working TV channel, then turn up and down the brightness and contrast control. If you have "flaring", you will see yellow red flaring streaking suddenly appearing on the right side of a color TV screen projected object (usually a distinct red and white). You can revitalize a picture tube by using a B&K tube tester, by "Boosting", which cleans the cathodes of the picture. This usually gives you an excellent picture for about a week or two.
4. I have had a "man of the cloth" who put one across me when I was ordered to check out a CTV set for a Trade-In. Unbeknown to me, "the man of the cloth" had paid a repairperson to install a skillfully concealed 9.3-volt picture tube filament transformer. After the technician had readjusted the set, the "man in the cloth" rang up for a trade-in valuation. I had no picture tube analyzer (considered too expensive to purchase) and the CTV picture tube appeared okay to me. Outcome was that the dimwitted sales representative gave an overgenerous $400 valuation for the trade-in on his TV set, a make and model of which was renowned as having a bad service reputation. Furthermore, the sales representative informed me that it was none of business in the valuing of TV sets; I was only to check them. Subsequently the ctv picture tube only lasted two weeks on the showroom floor, and course it was my entire fault.
5. Therefore, to check picture tubes one should always use a B&K Tube Analyzer, tester, or something similar.

Conventional projection uses a projector in front of the screen, hence the term "front projection". It is also possible to project from the rear of a translucent screen, "rear projection". The problem with rear projection is that the image will be reversed left to right.

Video projectors all have a menu setting that allows the image to be reversed before it is projected so the resulting screen image will be seen the right way round.

The question mentions movie projectors suggesting a film projector rather than a video projector. Because a film projector is fully optical there are no electronic methods to reverse the image but it can still be done. Most projectors allow alternative lenses to be fitted. Using a specialist reversing lens will correct the image orientation but they are expensive. The image can also be reversed using a mirror in the light path. The mirror needs to be a front silvered mirror, one that has the reflective coating on the front rather than the rear as this avoids double images. This is much the same process as a reversing lens which has a mirror or prism inside the lens housing.

Front projection distances tend to be large, with the projector being at the rear of a room. Rear projection rooms or cabinets are generally much shorter so wide angle lenses are often used to produce a large image from a short distance. A movie projector should have a short focus lens to reduce the required projection distance if possible. However, by using a mirror, the projection distance can be extended as the effective distance is the sum of the distance from the projector to the mirror and the mirror to the screen. Careful positioning of the projector and mirror will be needed and this is not as simple as it first appears. It may well be worth looking at dedicated mirror mounts to get the right result.

Although Sony Trinitron televisions are now obsolete, the infra-red codes used to control Sony televisions have remained very similar for many years. It is worth trying codes for newer Sony televisions or use televisions listed as "Control S" format.

Newer models may have codes that differ slightly but there is a good chance that you will have all of the basic controls.

Using a crossover, you can limit the frequency response of the signal sent to speakers.

Wometco Home Theater was created in 1977.

2din means your car has enough room for 2 radios 1 on top of the other

Find the audio-out port on the back of your PC or side of your laptop (usually a green marker with a picture of headphones or sound waves), and plug in headphones or speakers. If you only have the white and red stereo cables, head over to a wal-mart and buy a "Y-Splitter" so that it will fit into the computer and plug your stereo cables into the splitter.

All manufacturers are offering incentives for buying 3D and smart televisions. The offers change fast so when you are ready to buy, do some research on the net and in store to find the best offers around.

Remember that a deal involving content may have long term commitments after a free period so always check the fine print.

You will need a converter box. It isn't as simple as a cable to convert one to the other. There are many on the market, Google Component Video to VGA converter.

If you keep gettings "File system Error" and you don't know how to fix it well its easy all you have to do is go to "setup" and then scrow down to "Sys Tools" and then "Reset it" and there you go but first format it...if u have songs on it then drag them to your desktop and save them until you format it and then put all your songs back and then reset it and it should work....Oh and ur gonna have to reset it everytime you turn it on...i know its annoying but its worth listing to your music right? hahahah anyways i still haves mines for a very long time now...at least it lasted longer then my Ipod Nano witch lasted mi more then 2 months then it just started to fail on me.... Spi Mp3 might be cheap but they work and they lasts...

there is no custom duty on 32 inch lcd i bought sony bx32

Virtually all televisions today have a removable base. Most bases use a non-standard mounting system so you will need to read the manual to confirm the removal method.

Similarly, virtually all have a "VESA" standard mount on the rear of the case to allow a wall mount to be fitted. There are several different sizes of VESA mount so it is important that you read the manual to find out which size is needed. The VESA standard mounting system uses 4 screws in a square shape so it is easy to recognize in the rear of the television.

No.

A 3.5mm jack is a copper electrical connector while an optical port isn't. Although it is possible to obtain converters between optical and copper, it is an expensive route to take and almost certainly there is a lower cost alternative to the problem.

One can shop for DVD home theatre systems online at websites such as Amazon and eBay. One can also find it in stores such as Best Buy, The Source and Futureshop.

No it doesn't have to be dark.. Bt if it is dark. And it would be u can see clearly.

Most home cinema systems have high lumen lamps for use in daylight conditions.

How bright the image appears will depend upon the strength of the projection lamp, the distance from the wall, the brightness of the room and the material projected on to. For indoor household daytime use, a 2000+ ANSI lumens projector will be needed. To get the best image, use a projection screen or reflective wall paint such as those offered by Goo Systems.

An audio summator is, in essence, the mixer. It takes various source inputs and "summs them up" into one audio output (to drive the speakers, for example).

Most TV brackets are screwed to the wall.

You have the cables crossed. Check the connection, fixed the ones that are not plugged into the right jack.

That depends. If they're computer speakers and all your wires are headphone-jack style, then all you do is run the headphone wire from your speakers and plug it into your computer speaker input on the sound card, or a headphone jack. If they're not computer speakers and you want to wire component speakers through your computer, you'll need a receiver to power them, speaker wire to go from your speakers to the receiver, and a cable to go from your receiver "input jack" to your computer. That cable should have a red and white RCA on one end, and a headpone jack on the other.

All Samsung active LCD glasses should work with all Samsung sets.

Bose offers great home theater systems. They range in price anywhere from $799.95 to $3299.95. they are well worth their price.

Yes, as long as your Epson projector has an HDMI slot, or if you use an HDMI-to-VGA adaptor (an HDMI-to-RCA Video adaptor can work as well).
