OT: Home Theater for dummies

[Slick]

Since it just came down to the cost of the cable, I upgraded to component video. Haven't watched anything but momentary testing on various DVD's. In the brief checking I did, I couldn't see much difference in picture quality, but I had pretty good video before. I'm not going to switch back and forth to look for a difference, though. If component video is supposed to be better, so be it; it certainly doesn't look any worse than before.

If someone wants to make a million dollars they should make a standard connector for all audio and video, maybe USB or something. After all, since everything is moving to digital signals, this is the next logical step. Today I spent some time in connector hell, 9th level, and I don't want to go there again.

Now spending time tweaking in the (seems like) thousands of audio settings to get everything balanced. Last time I did this I used a friend's decible meter, might need it again. Haven't done this sort of thing in like 10 years. A learning experience indeed.
