I am looking for a reasonable Amp which has one optical
input (min) and an audio input from my DVD player, i dont
nessesarily need a monster surround sound jobbie but i guess
as i have two decent speakers and a front centre one it might
be an idea.
Anybody have any recomendations?
Thanks

Hi,
I currently have a Denon 3803, but in the 'brave new world' of hdmi I need
to upgrade (essentially for Freesat it seems).
Stuff I already have as inputs;
1 pc connected via component and optical.
1 multi-regional dvd player connected via s-video and coaxial.
1 Freeview PVR connected via s-video and red/white stereo.

I am having problems with my Panasonic PT-L780NTU. I recently changed
the light bulb in it so that might have something to do with it; but I
do not know whether or not this problem existed before, after, or as a
result of the change. When the projector is displaying an image, the
top center part is a little fuzzy so that the words are fuzzy but
still legible. There is a greenish glow in the...

Hello guys - I'm stuck and hoping your collective brains will help me
fix this. I have a Panasonic DMR-E55 DVD recorder and an older
Panasonic TC-21S1R television, which was made in the days when there
were video recorders only. It does have a AV button on the front to
switch. anyway, I connected the DVD via a SCART cable, and result is
sound but no picture.
What can I do????
All questions...

Hi,
So I've finally managed to narrow it down to these two models so I can
replace my 50" sony LCD rear projection.
I can get the LE52F96BD for around £1240 (3 yr warranty) and the
LE52A656A1 for around £1750 (3yr warranty).
The LE52F96BD has a 500,000:1 contrast ratio, and the LE52A656A1 has a
50,000:1, BUT it is 100Hz.

Quite a lot of people are now mounting plasma screens recessed into the wall
(or false chimney breast) so front of display is flat with wall. Also hides
cables which SWMBO's will approve.
However what type of plasma bracket do they use ?
I assume it must be a "concertina" type bracket to enable the screen to be
pulled forward to allow cabling access ?
Anyone any ideas ?

I don't need to replace it yet but if one wanted to replace a CRT TV that is
currently getting input from a media PC, a separate Freeview box, a VCR and
a DVD. Should I be looking at monitors or TVs? I don't need MASSIVE as I
have a projector for that.
I find the current (28"ish) TV to have too low a resolution (600x800) for
the PC but otherwise it's OK - (like to view the media).
