Yes, it was indeed a problem with the cable box. According to the manual, I needed to set the HDMI audio to PCM. Problem solved! Thanks for your help and time ambientz! :D

I think this might be a problem with my cable box (SHAW HDPVR 630) because TV sound works fine when I switch to the PS3...

Still no luck. :/ My TV keeps displaying a message that says"An incompatible audio signal has been received. Check the output device settings" Yes. I had my ps3 connected to my TV before and sound came out fine.

For some reason when I set it to "TV", audio from the receiver is disabled when I turn it off but I'm still not getting any sound from the TV--just video. For the other thing, it's really weird because with my old HTIB the factory receiver allowed me to switch between sources without any...

I would definitely recommend Precision Acoustics' HD45 tower speakers. They sell them at Best Buy here in Canada but I'm not sure if they are available in the States. A friend of mine has a pair of those + center. Just amazing sounding speakers for the price. They are currently at $300/pair.

It works but for some reason there's no sound coming from the TV. My TV is a Sharp Aquos LC-65E77UM. I've tried messing around with the TV audio settings but nothing seems to work. Also sometimes when I switch between sources, I get a message that says "an incompatible audio signal has been...

Denon AVR-591

Complete noob here so please bare with me! :o How do I set up my audio receiver so that whenever I turn it off, the TV automatically takes over sound duties for each device: Here is my current setup (everything is connected through HDMI): Cable/Satellite box --> Receiver PS3 -->...

You guys were right all along. I just needed to push them hard into the receiver holes. :o No lubes needed :eek: Everything's perfect now! Thanks for the help, guys. :cool:

Not really,,,I got a good deal on eBay! And I didnt have to pay for shipping since the pickup location was just a couple blocks from my place Anybody want to buy these? I've got 8 of them.

Thanks for replying guys, but these things JUST WONT FIT. I don't want to break the terminal plastic thingy trying to push these in!

Should I use lube? :D

See the difference in size? That thing is not going in...

Hello, I'm a complete audio/ht noob so please bare with me :eek: I tried to hook up some speakers (POLK AUDIO RTi5) to my receiver (DENON AVR-591) using 16gauge wires and MONSTER banana plugs,,, but guess what? the banana plugs won't fit into my receiver! They are just too big. Do banana...

Yeah I guess the process would be much faster. What kind of cable would I need? A crossover ethernet cable from the laptop to PS3?

wow, thanks for all the response guys! I really really appreciate it!!! I just bought a new hard drive for my ps3 and im copying around 100gb worth of files onto it through ps3 media server,,,I was kinda worried because my download bandwidth limit is 100GB/month (Videotron---I live in...

Sorry for my complete noobness but does a ISP usually set a limit (depending on your plan) for network bandwidth like they usually do with download/upload bandwidth? Thanks for the answer! :)

Does copying files from my laptop to the PS3 using PS3 Media Server will eat my internet bandwidth? Both my laptop and PS3 are connected wirelessly to the same router. Thanks for answering.

thanks for the useful information! :-)

Try kijiji.com. Better than craigslist IMO. If you look around (and if you're lucky) you can find some good deals on there. Last week I was able to get my hands on a brand new (in box) 46 inch Samsung LCD LN46B530 for $600. $500 is an OK good deal for a 3-year-old 46-incher but for about...

Hello, I'm a complete noob so please bare with me... I'm looking to transfer large (8GB +) .mkv files onto my PS3 (FAT32) and after some research, it seems that the only way I can possibly achieve this is by COPYING the files through a media server (TVersity, PS3 Media Server). Is there a...

Apparently, large files (4gb +) can be transferred/copied onto the PS3 through TVersity or PS3 Media Server. I'm not sure if it is straight up file copying or streaming, though. That's what I'm actually trying to find out.

Hello! I was wondering if there was any way to convert an NTFS external drive back to FAT32 without actually reformatting the drive and losing all the data? My hard drive was originally formatted to FAT32 but I had to convert it to NTFS so I could transfer a large file onto it. I then...

Hello, I'm looking to connect my PC to a wireless router and was wondering what type of wireless adapter would work best on a desktop computer. The distance between the router and desktop computer is about 20 feet so I'm looking for something reliable that will give me a steady connection...

thanks. will try that!

Hello I have this laptop, a Toshiba Satellite A-200 series. I've had it for a year now (bought it used). For the past two months, it has been abruptly shutting off on random occasions. The problem seems to get worse every week. I'm wondering if this problem is related to my battery? I...

Well, I finally settled for the Western Digital My Passeport Elite 500GB~! It has a 5 year warranty and is just what I needed! Very small and compact! Thanks to all who have replied! :) Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go download some porn now. :o

Thanks for replying everyone~! :) The reason why I don't want to get a normal hard drive + case is because I will need to carry around a power connector too. There are some premade models out there like the Seagate FreeAgent that don't need to be powered up via an adapter and that's a plus...

Hello, My laptop is running out of disk space and I'm thinking about getting an external drive to backup all my files. I was thinking about getting the Maxtor 500gb Onetouch4 Plus but some of the reviews (mostly bad) I found on the internet got me worried. For those of you who have used...

Thanks for the info. I forgot to say that my HTML form uses a PHP file to process the data, so does that make any difference in terms of security? The javascript is only used to handle errors and required fields that are left blank.

Really? I was told that HTML/javascript forms were VERY secure and not as easily hackable as a PHP form~! Would a PHP form be more secure and help me achieve what I'm asking for easily? I'm not really sure what a public-facing website is, but the website I'm working on is not portal or blog...

The reason why I only want to use html/javascript is because the form is already finished. It's a pretty long form so I don't want to go to the trouble of re-writing the whole thing in a different language.

Thanks ALOT [H]exx!!! The first script your provided works like a charm! The URL shows all the information submitted. But this is where I'm stuck. I can't seem to pull the query info with the code provided: function getURLParam(strParamName){ var strReturn = ""; var strHref =...

Hello, I'm a complete noob so please bare with me! :eek: I was wondering if the following would be possible to achieve with HTML / Javascript: User enters his name and address in pageA and clicks submit. He is then redirected to a more elaborate form (pageB) with his name and address...

Thanks for replying Larry~! :) Are you sure the Kingston RAM model I posted will work on my Toshiba? I'm not worried about the module size limit as I'm certain a 2GB single module will work on each slot. What I'm worried about is that some modules seem to have been designed for specific...

Thanks for replying QueenMegz~! just checked the crucial site and it says my laptop is compatible with sodimm200 ddr2 pc2-5300 rams....does that mean ANY sodimm200 ddr2 pc2-5300 ram will work on my laptop? :eek: For example, will this Kingston RAM (designed for DELL laptops) work on my...

Hello I'm a complete noob here so bare with me...:eek: I'm thinking about adding some more memory to my Toshiba A200-16V laptop but I really have no clue as to which specific RAM model would be compatible with my laptop model. Here are the specs for my laptop: (sorry its in french)...

Anybody heard about the Y-mouse / Y-key adapter? Is it any good? :confused: That's about the closest thing I found that can help me achieve what I'm trying to do.:eek:

Hello, grade-A n00b here so please bare with me. :o I have this old computer at home that I'm not using anymore that has a PCChips M920LR mobo. I want to use this computer to set-up dual monitor and was wondering what kind of video card would help me achieve that? Considering it is an old...

I'm aware that you can't really do that with a standard dual monitor setup but is there a software or some kind of program that allows you to connect 2 keyboards/2 mouses to the same computer? Thanks for replying!
