I am trying to connect an LG 42LV4400 HDTV to a home theatre (Sony STRGX69ES).  Currently I have connected the TV to a Magnavox VCR. We use the VCR and a PS3 for disk movies.  I get sound for eveything but the TV when I am on Cable.  I currnently have the TV Vid and L/R out going into the VCR Inputs jacks and then the Vid/Aud output jacks for the vcr plugged into the Sony receiver’s vid/aud input jacks.  Am I doing something wrong here?  thanks

Hi,

I just bought my first HDTV (I know!) and am in the market for a Blu Ray player. The problem is that my receiver, which does support 5.1, doesn’t have an HDMI connector. It does have Optical. So how do I connect my system? Before buying the BluRay do I need to make sure it has any specific connectors?

Thanks,

Jerry

i’m having trouble installing my front projector and am looking for some assistance. i have an onkyo receiver tx-nr609, the projectoris a viewsonic pjd5111. the projector doesn’t have hdmi, so i bought a converter from at-hdview. it is a vga to hdmi. i currently have a 60″ lg tv connected to the receiver, which works well, i would have thought going out the onkyo via hdmi through the converterbox into the projector’s vga would work, but i still get no signal. i can get a signal through the s-video cable of the projector and my satillite box. Any suggestions?

Wouldn’t we all be so lucky to have a custom 60″ TV Installation

This custom installation is all controlled by one universal remote control a URC MX-880. Now this installation did’t have the lighting & heating control installed but is pre-wired for future add-ons, I thinks thats just the most important thing any home owner can do.

Google knew it had to respond to Apple, Microsoft, RIM, and their partners winning a $4.5 billion bid on Nortell’s patents. Respond they did with a $12.5 billion acquisition of Motorola Mobility and its 14,600 patents. Google likely did not want to get into the hardware business, but the risks to Android were too great. If Google did not buy Motorola, they would:

• have overpaid and spent billions on InterDigital’s patents.
• have been one court case away from HTC legally being blocked from selling Android phones in America.
• risk Microsoft or Apple buying Motorola and losing a major Android manufacture.
• continue to have Android embattled in lawsuits from Apple, Microsoft, Oracle, and others without a solid patent portfolio.

So what is next for Google and Motorola?  The assumption is HTC, Samsung, LG, Sony, and other manufactures will be forced to focus on other mobile operating systems. However, there isn’t a mobile operating system available today with an established app market other than Android and Apple’s iOS. Sales for Samsung and HTC’s Windows Mobile based phones has been lackluster partially due to the lack of apps. Developers already have to create an Apple and Android version of their app. They will have to be significantly motivated in order for them to create a third and fourth version of the same app.

Here are some predictions for a combined Google and Motorola:

• Google will keep Motorola as a separate division.
• HTC, Samsung, Sony, and other manufacturers will continue to focus on Android based phones for the next year.
• Manufacturers will try to diversify to Windows Mobile and possibly webOS, but the lack of apps will hamper sales.
• Nokia based Window phones will also have lackluster sales.
• Motorola Blur will go away.
• Manufactures will put more focus on differentiating themselves by modifying their Android skin such as HTC Sense or Samsung’s TouchWiz.

Due to popular demand, we created some smaller connection diagrams on our home page. The new smaller diagrams are:

• Home Theater Connection Diagram
• Home Network Connection Diagram
• Home Automation Connection Diagram
• Front Projector Connection Diagram
• Bedroom Connection Diagram

The ultimate connection diagram still shows how to connect all the above systems into one, but the smaller ones are designed to be easier to read. The smaller connection diagrams also show typical connections for popular home theater network components.

hi guys,i live in Corfu,Greece. I’m tryinging to make a deccent home thearte in my liviving room the last 2 years,and so far i’m enoying it a lot(very proud) i’ve got a receiver Yamaha RX-V3900 front speakers Klipsch RF-52 sub-woofer RW-10d ,and just built a HTPC -INTERTECH -2008-T .to replace a laptop that i got  with a hdmi cable running to my 40 inch Samsung  from my coffee table to my front wall.  I was wondering if there was any kind of small wireless touch screen so i could mirror my tv so i dont have to keep on changing channels on my tv,and that touch screen would also be a remote controll.  I’ve seen 1 on the internet called Air panel v110 but it’s not available for Greece. Thanks for listening to me, hope to get some info soon.
