why does our tv channel change when we put the home theatre louder when watching a dvd?

admin — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 19:56:02 +0000

we hooked up a Home theatre system to our tv, but whenever we’re watching a dvd and want to put it louder the channel changes, and also when we put the radio on of the Home Theatre system the tv switches on.

Looks like your TV and the home theater share some IR commands. Rare, but not unusual.
When it is time to watch a DVD, put a little cardboard in front of the IR receiver in the TV, this should fix your problem.

What do I need for my home theatre subwoofer?

admin — Fri, 13 Aug 2010 17:29:40 +0000

I have a 100 rms to 3000 cap component subwoofer that I would like to use for a Home Theatre system. How would I power it?

THere are plenty car amps for it, however I can not find one single amp for it to use at home.

Also, how do i make it to where it can hook up into a surround sound system?

You can not use car speakers for home use. Car audio operate on a direct current and Home audio on alternating current. You can burn out your speaker or power amplifier. Car audio are designed for small enclosed area, and home audio are for large area. You can buy a subwoofer for your home audio and most of them only handle up to 100 watts, which is enough for most home use. Look for brands like: JBL, Infinity, Definitive Technology, Polk Audio and Klipsch to name a few. Hope this will help you out.

How can I hook my PS3 up to my home theatre system?

admin — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 11:06:01 +0000

I recently purchased a PS3 , and I was trying to hook it up to my home theatre system. It is currently hooked directly into the tv via the HDMI cable….which is by-passing the home theatre system. I wish to include the home theatre system, I attempted to use an optical audio cable from the console to the Home Theatre but it didn’t work…any suggestions…we would like to watch our blue-ray movies in full surround sound. Would a HDMI cable from the console to the home theatre and a second HDMI cable from the Home theare to the tv solve the problems?

just plug it into your receivers inputs, audio into audio in and video into video in.

What should my home theatre decor be?

admin — Sun, 18 Jul 2010 07:04:46 +0000

I am in the process of finishing my basement and i have decided to make an area for a Home theatre system everything, the whole deal speakers, tvs, xbox, playstation 3, i was wondering what colour should i paint the room, what would look good?

Do very dark walls… like a chocolate brown with a dark red curtain to wrap around inclose the area to make it very dark and intimate. Put cool comfy chairs in there with lots of floor pillows on a fluffy plush throw rug.
Do rods hanging from the ceiling with metal curtain rings so the curtains can slide easily. Use a heavy dark drape fabric to block out all light.
Be creative with surrond sound speaker placement. Really make it like a theatre. The curtains can be pulled back and left open when not in use.
The design on the walls can blend with the rest of the room.

Use a dark flat paint on the walls then use a disposable baby diaper to blot on a lighter version of the same color over the flat paint except the light paint should be a semi-gloss or gloss. This will achieve a very expensive textured effect to the paint without using a horrible wall paper or something else hard to paint over when/if you want to change the design.
Perhaps do an old Hollywood theme. Put up pics of black and white images from vintage Hollywood movies. Maybe some old movie reels hanging from the wall with real film in them. (Doesn’t matter what is actually on the film, it is just for decoration)

Take two piece of plexiglass….
Between the plexi glass make a collage of movie images such as those cut from old VHS tape boxes…. place them however you want. Glue them to a piece of paper cut the same size as the plexi glass…. then simply place it between the glass and cover with the second piece. Find a sturdy coffee table to set this on as an artistic ‘new table’.

What is best home theatre system or receiver for indoor and outdoor setup?

admin — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 21:04:53 +0000

I’m looking to find out what to look for in a receiver or Home theatre system so I am able to watch tv inside, and play a dvd or ipod outside using the same receiver. (i.e. Dora inside and Radiohead outside on the deck) Any help would be appreciated!!

there’s a lot of multi-room receivers out there but i don’t think it would be able to play 2 sources at the same time, I am not sure though. i suggest you go visit bestbuy or magnolia.

how do you get televisions sound to come through the home theatre speakers?

admin — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 07:55:40 +0000

I have a phillips Home theatre running to a Sony TV. The TV is surround sound capable. DVD comes thru fine, TV only operates with it’s own sound.

yes, it’s true that you have to hook the tv up to the receiver using the a/v (white and red) cables. but then you would also want to go to the menu in the tv and make sure that the internal speakers are turned off. you may also need to turn the volume of the tv up. this would be in the case that the output on the back of the tv is of the "variable" variety. if the output is "fixed" then you would not need to adjust the volume on the television. make sure that wherever you connect the tv on the back of the receiver labeled IN, you have the receiver on that function.

What is the name of the home theatre systems that are always on mtv cribs?

admin — Fri, 18 Jun 2010 07:36:52 +0000

I’m looking into a Home Theatre system, and have been looking for some type of system that makes it where i dont have to have stacks of dvds. I know there’s apple tv and many others, but the memory of those are limited. i want something more, similar to the ones on mtv cribs that can hold a ton of music and movies. Do you know the name of the makers of these systems? Thanks!

Well of course most of those systems are all custom designed. But what your looking for there are a number of options that are available separately that can be used in any ones systems.

Most of these are not cheap though, I will give you another option at then end that if you are looking to do more on a budget maybe something for you to look into.

Escient: makes one of the more affordable media servers. It works pretty well not to difficult to setup, as will all of them they do require internet access to download cover art and update media information..

Kaleidescape: is making the best system right now but is very expensive. Its a amazing system

The other two lower price options are Sony and a few others make mulit disc cd and dvd players that you just incorporate into your system.

Lastly you can build a custom media server (if your good at building pc’s or know someone that is)
You can build it with as much storage are you would need and add to it as your library increases, everything is stored on hard drives no need to handle dvd’s or cd’s again once they are burned onto your media server. They quality of playback is determined by the quality of video card you use so if you are doing 1080p you will need a very good video card so keep that in mind.

I’m including links to all these options including how to build a media server if that is something you might be able to do with some help.
