Son-of-a-Weizen Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 With about 20% of Netflix titles not being read correctly by the workhorse SONY DVD Unit w/hard drive, we hooked up an older spare SONY DVD player to take care of the overflow. Works fine.......problem is, after stumbling around in the dark and draining 3 or 4 pints of brew, I finally got it rigged up so that each time I go to use the spare (black) SONY, I have to disconnect the red/white rca plugs from tape rec on the integrated amp and then plug them back in when switching over again to the silver SONY. The spare (black) SONY (6th pic down) is running straight into the tv (bottom pic), should it be running through the amp.....or even through the other (silver) SONY? I dunno.....bomething's obviously not right with this ridiculous tangled mess of cables. Anyone care to play the What's wrong with this idiotic looking set-up game? *dang, lot's of dust back there.

Sundog Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 Anyone care to play the What's wrong with this idiotic looking set-up game? Dude, set those B&Ws free so they can image properly! Not sure about your other problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Son-of-a-Weizen Posted July 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 It is a bit of a tight spot in there, isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidewinder Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 Did you find any lost Mosaic sets in your expedition back there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Son-of-a-Weizen Posted July 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 No, just a couple of old pieces of paper and a few dusty cds, bands I'd never heard of. Kids didn't want them so I just tossed 'em......would you like them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzbo Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 Sundog is right, you're losing a lot of what you paid for for those speakers by not having them out in the room. Why not run the other dvd player into the unused tuner input and not on the tv. I think running it to the tv is causing you the problem.

medjuck Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 Do you have any unused video inputs into you tv? Looks like you have an unused s-video input. If so, why not run the spare DVD player's sound into one of the amp inputs you're not using (eg SACD) and use an s-video cable into the tv/monitor?

AllenLowe Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 too much Republican gear - everybody knows that Hollywood movies are all made by liberals - gotta plug that little doo-hickey into something more moderate, increase the sound levels liberally, and put all the screens and speakers to your left - and everything will be just fine - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You and Lon had it right.....I went with the SACD inputs...problem solved. Thanks!! ....and a little Sun afternoon room rearranging for Sundog, who shamed me into letting those little B&Ws breeeeathe a bit! I hope Kevin Bresnahan doesn't drop by to chew me out over the sub-optimal placement of that Hsu Research sub I bought off him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Alfredson Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 Weizy, that first picture made me almost cry. I miss my B&Ws and to see them in that space... well... it just ain't right. The above pic is much better. Now make sure they form an equilateral triangle with your noggin' as you sit on the couch to get the best imaging.

Son-of-a-Weizen Posted July 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 Truth be told, I only had 'em hidden away in there for 6 months or so because this new puppy of ours was having too good of a time chomping away on large plastic Easter eggs..........and before long I started wondering how long it would be before she spied those little 'black eggs' and decide to give one a try?

medjuck Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 The placement (and size) of speakers has led to many divorces. For some reason women often don't understand their importance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
