Had old VCR,DVD (analog) player connected to TV and sound and picture was ok. Replaced it with a new digital Magnavox,(tuner,HD and DVD recorder) and volume from TV is low on TV when playing back with new unit. The sound is the same on both inputs to TV. Have been thru menus on TV and Recorder...

Thanks.

Am wanting to buy a DVD recorder for my son. His Direct TV receiver does not have a recorder with the unit(I think). I have Dish and my unit has an aux output which I connect my external DVD recorder to(its a tuner output and I record on channel 60) Does Direct have such an aux output,if it...

Have a nice white label on each jewel case to write the information on and if I get tired of it,I erase the label and re enter the information. Plus DVD hardly ever crash. If K&B thinks that old technology,since I am much older than most of you and enjoy the old radio shows from the 40s(I listen...

The savings I was thinking about was the playing back of recordings on the hard drive.(start,stop,backup,erase,etc) The main reason was to record the older movies which I like and wife doesn't. Also when watching a HD on side one and my wife does her usual interruptions (phone,snacks,etc-if...

I have the 722K dish receiver and record a lot on my external recorder. Do this for two reasons,can record two programs at same time and record a lot of the old black and white movies,which HD doesnt make very much difference and also it saves a lot of ware and tear on my receiver. I have my...

Location is 30 miles from Houston Tx. Have a complete 4DTV (Motorola DSR 922,around 5 years old)with KU and a 10 ft dish. Plus included is a 8 or 9 ft extra dish in good condition. A year ago,switched over to Dish,so its been sitting for a year. $200. Anyone interested,let me know on this board...

Have checked out the Gefen(on Amazon) and reviews said it worked,but was noisy,so recommended the HDTVGTVDD2AA from HDTV. It seems it takes a special one to handle the surround and Dolby Digital. Price is double,but dont mind paying if it works. Can return it if it doesn't work. Not many...

Found other spec sheet: Just Scan(1:1 Pixels matching) HDMI:1080/10801/720P For component and RF. This is exactly what is printed. This is for a LG-42PW350 Plasma. I figured this was a cheap way to get into 3D,as am sure in the next few years,it will change. This TV looked very good in the...

I record from a CD to a type deck old radio programs. I play the CDs thru a DVD playback thru my TV(need TV for menu of CD) to an amplifier to a type deck.(use one of my TV inputs and the audio out on TV to amp and it is analog) That is the reason for the need for optic out conversion to analog...

The specks say native display resolution is 1024x768. Dont understand,if its not HD,how can it get 3D. This has turned out to be more trouble than buying a car. Is it just a lower quality HD? Have an old 34 inch Sony(tube)and when its acting right,gets a better picture than a lot of new...

Noticed looking at new tvs,that most have only a optical sound output. Does anyone know which conversion works for a surround,Dolby optical output to a analog input. Have checked internet and found a lot of feedback about some not working properly. Have found one for $108,that sounds like it...

Am looking to buy a LG 41 inch that supports a 1024x768 system,instead if a 1920x1080. They told me that Dish only supports the 1024x768,is this true? How much difference would I notice between the two on a plasma 3D.(good price on unit) If Dish only supports the 768,then thats all I would...

Has anyone else noticed that the number of guide selections has changed from 8 or 9 to 6 per page since yesterday? I checked the guide and thats the highest number they offer,but for the last year,i have gotten the higher number,which caused the guide description to only show half of the...

The WD people told me the less the EX is on,the longer it should last.
