I am concerned that they will demolish all the hard work on the wires (electrical and A/V) that are coming out of the boxes. I have about 16" of various wires (cat6/coax/speaker) exiting the boxes. Should I wrap them? I was trying to prevent cutting them shorter and tucking them in the boxes. I have heard that drywallers can be crazy with their rotozip tools.
Any suggestions?

I would like to keep the cost down as much as possible but still want some features like being able to set activities to a button or touch screen button etc. I need to be able to control a receiver, tv, satellite box, xbox360, ps3 (with adapter) and maybe some lighting down the road. I have seen the logitech xbox360 remote for reasonable price but I'm not sure if others will work with the 360 or not? I also want a cradle so that I don't need to reprogram every time I need to change the batteries. What should I be looking at?:huh: ]]> Remotes | Cables | Accessories | Tweaks ridecolby http://www.hometheatershack.com/forums/remotes-cables-accessories-tweaks/23058-universal-remote-cheap.html http://www.hometheatershack.com/forums/remotes-cables-accessories-tweaks/22795-looking-good-remote.html Wed, 11 Nov 2009 23:14:21 GMT Trying to get ideas on a good flat screen remote for my H.T.

I have the Cables To Go 40430 system and am wanting to know if I can simply connect an emitter output directly to the 3.5mm IR Remote jack on the back of my receiver or is that connector only to be used with an IR target? If it can be connected directly, would it be a stereo or mono type cable (3-wire or 2-wire)? ]]> Remotes | Cables | Accessories | Tweaks dlturner00 http://www.hometheatershack.com/forums/remotes-cables-accessories-tweaks/22757-ir-repeater-question.html http://www.hometheatershack.com/forums/remotes-cables-accessories-tweaks/22489-solid-vs-multistrand-power-cable-wire.html Tue, 03 Nov 2009 15:25:04 GMT have tried several types of DIY power cables, namely with ground sleeve and solid 2,5cm2wire in several winding formulas. ... have tried several types of DIY power cables, namely with ground sleeve and solid 2,5cm2wire in several winding formulas.

Cant say I could detect much difference between solid and multistrand cables, then again it was before my new studio speakers. ]]> Remotes | Cables | Accessories | Tweaks andrep http://www.hometheatershack.com/forums/remotes-cables-accessories-tweaks/22489-solid-vs-multistrand-power-cable-wire.html http://www.hometheatershack.com/forums/remotes-cables-accessories-tweaks/22481-diy-splitting-audio-video-signals-hdmi.html Tue, 03 Nov 2009 14:57:29 GMT Is it possible to split the audio and video signals in HDMI connection?

I mean in a passive way, like knowing the HDMI pin-out and building a Y-cable?


What sort of AUDIO format would we end up with?

SPDIF? AES? ]]> Remotes | Cables | Accessories | Tweaks andrep http://www.hometheatershack.com/forums/remotes-cables-accessories-tweaks/22481-diy-splitting-audio-video-signals-hdmi.html http://www.hometheatershack.com/forums/remotes-cables-accessories-tweaks/22479-common-ups-effect-sound.html Tue, 03 Nov 2009 14:41:34 GMT I wonder what effect a common UPS (like an APC) might have on sound system.

If the power comes from the battery shouldn't it have a benign impact, at least in the low power components like a DVD player? ]]> Remotes | Cables | Accessories | Tweaks andrep http://www.hometheatershack.com/forums/remotes-cables-accessories-tweaks/22479-common-ups-effect-sound.html http://www.hometheatershack.com/forums/remotes-cables-accessories-tweaks/22131-denon-ak-dl1-denon-link-cable.html Fri, 23 Oct 2009 03:51:26 GMT Good Evening my fellow Home Theatre friends!
I've been looking all over the net for a Denon Link cable (3rd generation that supports video too according to Denon's website) to use for my second 5.1 system in our Master Bedroom. My receiver is a Denon avr-3805, and I'm buying a used (but pristine condition) Denon DVD-3910 for only $255 tomorrow morning to replace my much older Denon DVD-3800 dvd player.
That being said, from what I understand using the Denon 3rd gen link cable is the only way I can get hdmi quality video and sound (if I'm right about what this cable transfers:help:).
First, can anyone out there confirm that this cable performs like an hdmi cable, being that only one cable is needed to transfer both A&V?
Second, (provided the first question holds true) Does anyone know where they can be bought for less than Denon's asking price of $500?
If anyone has one of these, or can answer the above questions, I would certainly appreciate it!
Otherwise I'll have to use the hdmi out to my tv via the Denon 3910, and a digital optical from my receiver to my dvd player.
I'm just trying to get hdmi like performance with my Denon AVR-3805 without having to upgrade to another receiver that supports hdmi. Thanks in advance for your help!

Last week I purchased a 50 ft HDMI 22AWG cable from the website. I recieved it last night via UPS. Well i went to hook it up and pushed the reciver back into the shelf and the HDMI cable twisted and subsequently broke. I emailed monoprice to request a return. They contacted me quickly and requested I send a picture. I did. They replied immediatly and said that they would send me a new cable free of charge!

Thank You so much Monoprice and you have definitly earned all of my future business! :clap::bigsmile::T ]]> Remotes | Cables | Accessories | Tweaks Tacksman http://www.hometheatershack.com/forums/remotes-cables-accessories-tweaks/22118-monoprice-com.html
