Must be connected to Xbox 360 to a projector. How do I connect stereo?

Hello, I have a Mitsubishi projector, and you want to connect my Xbox 360 for a video display. What would be the best way to connect audio cables for sound? Is there a sound registered or the speaker setup of such a solution? I appreciate everyones help. Thank you!

It all really depends on what kind of speakers you are hooking up to and what kind of connection you have the Xbox. The link will most likely composite video (yellow video, red and white for audio). In this case, you can connect to any speaker system that accepts stereo (red and white) connections. Many systems speaker who does not have a stereo receiver to accept input only from one headphone jack, which means you would need an adapter for use (Radio Shack or similar stores will have them pretty cheap). If the connection is not composite, it may be Component (Red Green Blue) which is the video and audio is from a different connection. If you post additional details on connections I can help you more. Hope this helps.

I am looking for a DVD recorder with HDMI upscaling. I have a 1080i TV but not the recorder must be 1080i?

I see that most DVD recorders have HDMI upscaling to 1080p. Someone knows if p and i are interchangeable or do I need a recorder dvd 1080i?

Look at the Panasonic range. They default 1080i upscaling (via HDMI) and they do not puff seller of confusion on standards not applicable. The upscaling works very well also

How do I replace a compact fluorescent bulb under warranty without holding on to the reception for 5 years?

I called a few local stores and they say we must have the approval of the replacement. I do not received after 2 weeks and still less than 5 years to guarantee all a bulb.

I received the tape from the bottom of the lamp or under the plate for ceiling fixtures. I type all the recipes - such as mattresses ten years of my age! If it can not be recorded on or near this point, I have a bin file for all owner's manuals I get. I always check there next.

What is the best way to solve your battery for a laptop? Laptop Max Battery Minimal Power Management?

The methods I am talking about are those that show when you click the battery icon in the bottom right of your screen. I do not know rather set to Always ON, laptop computer, presentation, or battery max. Thank you!

Minimal power management usually allows AMD Cool'n proccesors queit clock themselves to reduce battery consumption, but maintaining the same performance but with Intel High proccesors battery may be best for the best battery performance, where as always, will probably on the best performance.

Can anyone recommend a type of projection screen for movie viewing? Tripod? Ceiling?

I want to get this for a friend because he used a white wall to project his films on.I want to get a projection screen, but do not know where I type.Should get a tripod mounted one or one that bolts to the ceiling and pulls down? Portability would be nice, but the heavy or cumbersome tripod? The ceiling type just as portable with less bulk? All opinions please!

The screens are a fairly complex topic. There are low many different types, more or less adapted to different uses. You can get mounted on a tripod and retractable wall screens, but screens fixed wall, and various types of motorized screens. They are provided with different types of finishes (to reflect light differently) and a wide range sizes and shapes (aspect ratios - the ratio of width to height). Home theater screens cost of ~ $ 150 to $ thousands. Ideally, the screen must be appropriate to the projector and the size of the room. The gain, color, aspect ratio, size, masking, mounting system, all need to considered. If you really want to help your friend, I suggest you give him a certificate of "gift", then go to a store that deals with projectors and screens to see the right model. An alternative would be to paint a screen on the wall (if acceptable). You can mix your own paint paints in normal commercial or buy special paint for DIY screen from Goo Systems. I have included links again these two options. Finally, you can display a fairly expensive (~ $ 100) using a wood frame on which you stretch "fabric" blackout (curtain white liner). A black frame may be added to the chassis of the real screen and act as a mask. The first link will have ideas on this subject, or visit the third link in an image. The last 2 are links to images of HT screens I built ... The first is a screen canvas and the BO second screen painted. Everyone worked well and cost less than $ 100 to do. I hope this helps.

A cannon with a certain fixed angle projection has a range of 1500m. If you triple the initial velocity of the projectile, how far will the fly?

Range = [v ^ 2 * sin (2theta)] / G if the constant angle, replace V with 3v, and instead you get an answer 9 times larger ... (3V) ^ 2 .... to increase your distance by 9 if you multiply the speed by 4, the distance is 16 times farther, v 5 times, gives 25 times more, etc. ....

"Professional versus projector Home Theater Projector DLP for movies, gaming and HTPC?

I'm going to put a front projector. I am almost decided that I needed a theater "home" projector as opposed to a standard "business" projector. At first I dismissed the home theater because of their much lower lumens compared to their business counterparts. Of course, companies tend to be much cheaper though. What are the disadvantages of a business projector that I o looking for white space in the color wheel to increase lumens makes manipulation too bright o poor movement in the video inputs o less for multiple devices generally o not native 16:9 if you have to deal with gray bars o poor handling of black levels, I wonder how true these issues or concerns and if someone uses a single company for their home theater. I'll use our dvd player, home theater PC and a Nintendo Wii.

I saw your questions earlier and saw the poster of comments on the Epson is not good because it is a "business" projector. I can tell you from experience there is absolutely nothing wrong with the S4 as a PJ movie since it was the first one I owned and looked spectacular. I even used outdoors outdoors on my 24 'Theater and it was plenty bright enough to throw the 45' required to get the bigger picture. In my opinion, as long as you get a good brand with decent pj lumens, contrast ratio and resolution that you will not disappointed and forget this whole business absurd vs film PJ. I never found a "business" pj that does not perform as well as a "movie" pj assuming the specs are good. Weeder

Do I need an upscaling DVD player with my new HDTV?

Hello. I Just got a Panasonic TH-42PX60U. I have an old Panasonic DVD-S35 DVD player (progressive scan). I'm about to go out and buy component cables (not an S-video is the only other plug to the back of the DVD). Should I buy the component cables or just go buy a new upscaling DVD player? Thank you from a true newbie.

Just use the DVD player that you currently have. Component cables will give you great image quality and you will be able to take advantage of progressive scanning capabilities of your DVD player with these as well. Make sure you turn this option on your DVD player. It will be in the setup menu on the screen or as Turn on the device itself. You're TV has an upscaler that will automatically scale 480p resolution sent by your DVD player to the native resolution of the screen. The reason why DVD players with upconversion to exist is just because they have fleas that try to do better than the built in upscalers. Some DVD players excel at it and some do no better or worse than television. Will it matter if you had a very good DVD player as an upconverting OPPO? Yes, it would make a difference. Is it worth dumping a perfectly good DVD player and buy a $ 200 + one? No. The difference in image quality will be minimal, especially noticeable in the text. Most people will not be able to make a real difference to watch the film from normal viewing distances. Also, when you purchase the component cables, Do let you Sucker Monster or other expensive cables that claim to increase the quality of your image. Obtain a phillips or a generic something brand for fairly cheap or acquire from www.monoprice.com. Try not to spend more than $ 20 for a 6 foot cable. Enjoy your TV. It is an excellent plasma. PS turn the video settings off "Vivid" and "standard". Vivid will saturate some colors and make things against nature.
