How do I plug in my ps3 into my dvd/vcr player?

I have just got a ps3 component cable today. When I try to plug it in the tv it works fine but when i try to plug it in my sanyo dvw-7100 dvd/vcr with component output in the back it won't play. Can somebody help?

That's because a DVD/VCR is not what you hook a PlayStation 3 into as the PlayStation 3 is it's own DVD player and Blu-Ray player as well, they can't both share the same connection and display picture. You only hook the PlayStation 3 up to a TV or a AV receiver if you have one but the Sanyo player you're talking about isn't one so just hook your PlayStation 3 up to your TV and you're good.

Imagine watching the Niagara falls right in front of your eyes seated on a sofa. The home theater system helps us to watch a variety of movies right inside our homes. An all region DVD player is a smart choice while setting up your own home theater.

A DVD provides enormous space to store data from all walks of life. No wonder it has become the most popular storage device today. A DVD is used to store movies,pictures,data and even books!

However, DVD is prepared in a different format in various parts of the world. In Asian countries the format used is PAL format while the Americans follow the NTSC format. These two different formats cannot be read by the same DVD player.

An All region DVD player provides multitasking and decodes DVD irrespective of the format in which it is created. It is a region free DVD player and provides complete access to the DVD irrespective of the source of origin.

The code free portable DVD player pays no heed to the code or the format from where the DVD has originated. It is a smooth operator and effectively plays the DVD as soon as it is inserted. This ability of super ceding the code and playing the DVD without bothering about the region of its origin makes it a multi region DVD player.

An all region DVD player can also be useful in playing the old video cassettes. The DVD VCR multi system provides an unique opportunity to view DVD from all regions and also view video cassettes.

The all region DVD player has a very sleek design and fits very well in the cabinets. The DVD player cab be attached to wide screens so that life size images can be viewed. This is a very good alternative to watching movies on the computers or mobile as the eyes are not strained.

In the era of outsourcing, it's very difficult to imagine where exactly your DVD is coming from. The world is now a very small place and you might pick up a DVD from any country during your visit. It can be agonizing to come back home and discover that the DVD is not readable.

Thus,an all region DVD player is the most compatible solution which will enable you to literally watch any DVD in the world.

Does anyone know how to turn the speakers off on a samsung lcd hdtv?

Does anyone know how to turn the speakers off on a samsung lcd hdtv? I have a sony surround system hooked up to it and the only way I can get the full effect out of my system is to turn the speakers off on the tv. Does anyone know how to do this?

Menu
audio settings
the menu is actually set up to ask you if you are going to use surround sound, come to think of it, if you have a HDtv just mute the dang thing and use audio out from your HD receiver or the DVD player when not watching local on air TV , cuz that is only broadcast in stereo.

Hdtv Satellite Receivers Compared

Satellite HDTV (high definition TV) is all the rage these days, and DISH Network and DIRECTV are broadcasting more and more of their programming in high definition. So how do their HDTV receivers compare? Let's take a look ...

What is HDTV?

HDTV is a television broadcast format that uses a digital signal to produce an image that's far more detailed than a regular analog TV signal. In fact, an HDTV image is so lifelike it's like looking at a scene through a window.

In order to get satellite HDTV you need to subscribe to either DISH Network or DIRECTV satellite TV service, and you need the following equipment:

* An HDTV - LCD, plasma, or tube TV.

* An HDTV compatible satellite dish.

* An HDTV satellite receiver.

HDTVs

HDTVs come in a variety of makes and models. You can get an inexpensive tube HDTV for less than $300. LCD and plasma TVs will run you $900 to $30,000. And large-screen projections TVs will set you back $1,000 to $13,000.

Note: For more information on HDTVs click on the links below.

HDTV Satellite Receivers

DISH Network and DIRECTV HDTV receivers feature:

* Digital video with 1080i lines of resolution for the clearest picture available.

* Dolby Digital Surround Sound for three-dimensional audio.

* On-screen programming that allows you to create a list of your favorite channels, and search for programs by name, by actor, or by keyword.

* Outputs that can connect your receiver to your stereo or home theater system for superior sound.

DISH Network will give you a free HDTV receiver when you subscribe to their service, and DIRECTV will give you a free HDTV receiver, after a $99 mail-in rebate, when you sign up with them.

If you want to record your favorite shows in HD format, you can get a combination DVR (digital video recorder) HDTV receiver from DISH Network or DIRECTV that will record up to 200 hours of programming, and store those programs inside your receiver.

For more information on HDTV receivers click on the links below.

HDTV Satellite Dish

DISH Network and DIRECTV will give you a free satellite dish, a free four-TV receiver system, and install your satellite TV system for free when you subscribe to their service. Your installer will even show you how to operate your new system.

HDTV Programming

DISH Network HDTV programming starts at $29.99 a month for 25 HD channels and 75 regular satellite TV channels, and goes up to $79.99 for 25 HD channels and 350 regular channels.

DIRECTV has one HDTV programming package which has seven HD channels for $9.99 a month. In order to get this package you must subscribe to one of their regular programming packages which start at $29.99 for 155 channels.

Bottom Line

When it comes to which HDTV receiver is the best, there's really not much difference between DISH Network and DIRECTV receivers. Both are state-of-the-art and top-of-the-line.

When it comes to HDTV programming, however, DISH Network has the edge over DIRECTV when it comes to number of HDTV channels and price.
