What do you guys think of them? Is there another set/brand that you would recommend over it?
I'm trying to get one for my dad for Christmas. I'd prefer to get one that is not over 500 dollars.

That last one you linked is not a All in one like the others as its just a Home Theater in a Box and does not have a integrated blu-ray player like the others. Which actually makes that one my first pick as non integrated solutions provide for a little room for future expansion. however if you want the integrated solution I would go with the 780W as it provides 2 HDMI inputs and a Component Input vs just the 2 HDMI inputs of the 280 model.

  • Please help with TV and home theater system for very large basement room....

    I'm looking to get my boyfriend either a TV or home theater system for the basement.  I know he eventually wants a 3d TV.  Right now he has a set up where he has 2 tv's so he can play video games and watch sports.
    The basement that the tv and home theater system will be in is large (I'd estimate at least 15 ft x 30 ft...maybe more) so I want to make sure the home theater system will be enough for the room.  We live in a ranch so basically the basement is almost the size of the house with some of it being storage.
    I've started to look at products online but there are so many and technology isn't really my thing.
    If anyone could help with recommendations for the home theater system and/or the tv I'd appreciate it!
    Thanks so so sooo much!!!!

    What will he be using the HT system for?  Just watching sports or skipping the movie theater and watching them at home.   If you plan to watch them at home your going to be on a tight budget with the home theater system but it is possible.   Spend good money on the sub, that is one speaker you don't want to skimp out on.  With such a big space you have a lot of room to fill and the cheap subs aren't going to cut it.   You will probably need two subs as it is.  The speakers I recommend on a tight budget Polk or Klipsch.  My list includes a Denon receiver as I am a Denon fan but Yamaha, Onkyo, or Pioneer will suffice.
    Here is a Option 1 will run you about 1700 with just one sub. You could always go up a model on each speaker if you feel the one sub is enough.  I like an explosion sounding like it happened in front of me so that is why I mention 2 subs.

  • I have a C4240 All-In-One printer and i am getting an error message Carriage Jam. i hardly use the

    I have a C4240 All-in-One printer and am getting an error message on the display panel "carriage Jam".  I have not given this printer any kind of abuse.  I do leave it turned on but hardly ever print to it.  I have replace the cartridges probably twice since i have owned it.  Can you help me out  as to what I should do with the printer

    Can't really help with your Internet issues, but I can put you on the path to leaning more about Macs.
    If you're a former Windows user, there many resources on Apple's web site to get yourself familiar with how Macs and OS X work.
    Here ard a few areas to spend time with
    http://www.apple.com/support/macbasics/

    http://support.apple.com/videos/
    http://www.apple.com/support/lion/
    http://www.apple.com/support/osx/
    For the video tutorials, in the video search box, just type in OS X. You'll get a list of OS X video tutorials to watch  as you learn to use your iMac.
    Start with the Anatomy of a Mac video first, Then the Finder Basics video second. After you have watched and put to use these two videos, you can watch any other OS X video you want in any order.
    Here is a free eBook download of David Pogue's OS X Snow Leopard The Missing Manual here. While OS X 10.7 LIon and OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion work a bit differently than OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, there are many things that still apply.

    I need to scan wirelessly from a MAC (OS 1.7 or higher) through Adobe Acrobat Pro X (or higher).  Have discovered that all in one printers say they are MAC compatible but will only scan when connected with a USB cable.  Would prefer a laser, color, all in one.  Does anyone have printer suggestions that you know will scan wirelessly?

    Great information.

    Unless you subscribe to iTunes Match, iCloud doesn't sync music.  Just set up every person's devices on a separate iCloud account and your iCloud data and photo stream will remain separated.  Each iCloud account will need a separate ID, but it does not need to be the same as your iTunes ID.  You can continue to share the same iTunes ID and maintain separate iCloud accounts with separate IDs for iCloud.
    You'll also want to use separate IDs for each person for iMessage and FaceTime.  This will keep your text messages and FaceTime called separated as well.  The easiest way to do this is to have everyone use their iCloud ID for these two services as well.

  • Anyone have these settings in their Quicktime?

    Anyone have these settings in their Quicktime? I got this tip from Worldstart.com this AM. I have this problem with I-Tunes when a song starts to play sometimes it stutters,skips. I tried to get QuickTime settings she tals about but I don't have them in Win QT 7.5
    Tip #3174 - iTunes Skips
    Every once in awhile, my iTunes music skips. It's fine when I'm listening to the music on my iPod, but if I'm just using my computer, it all skips. What's going on?
    A:
    Okay, so we have established that iTunes is a great musical discovery, but it leaves much to be desired when it starts to skip. Nobody likes to listen to their music with a bunch of stutters in between, am I right?! So, let's look at some reasons why iTunes might be doing this to you.
    You can use the task manager to shut down other programs to see if that stops the skipping, but that's not really too convenient for anyone.
    A lot of times, the skipping problem lies within the QuickTime program that you need to have in order for iTunes to work. There are a couple settings you can change in QuickTime to combat the stuttering issue. To do this, make sure your iTunes is shut down and go to Start, Control Panel. Once in there, double click on the QuickTime icon. You must be in the classic Control Panel view for this to work.
    (Tab is called QuickTime settings,I don't have in mine, only Preferences)
    Once in there, use the drop down menu at the very top of the dialogue box and choose Sound Out. This will allow you to work within the sound output elements of your QuickTime.
    (These also are tabs within QuickTime I don't have, and I have the very latest 7.5 QuickTime installed)
    Now, under the choice that says "Choose a device for playback," use the drop down menu and select "waveOut." You can then just close the QuickTime window. You don't need to press OK or anything, just completely close it out.
    Next, restart your iTunes and your skipping problem should be resolved. You can start listening to your music again, while doing your other work as well, without any further problems. Like I said before, you should try this little suggestion before you go out and get more RAM, but if the problem persists, that may be just what you'll have to do. Either way, it's worth it for your music, right?!
    ~ Erin

    That site is either a bit inaccurate or describes an earlier version of QuickTime. Go to the QuickTime control panel, double-click on it to open it (it will indeed open QuickTime Preferences), click on the Audio tab, and check the box that says "Safe Mode (waveOut only)". That has in some cases cured the "stuttering".
    Good luck.

  • I have a new all in one computor and I can't open E mails once I save them to Documents file.

    I have a new all in one HP computor which has windows 7. When I save a E mail to Documents I cand open it back up.I have charter internet and the E mails are HTML>

    Typically this is a problem when the sender creates the file with an extension that you, as the recipient, can not open.    What is the file extension?  
    Is it .docx?  If so, that requires MS Office Word 2010 or newer.  MS Office Word versons circa 1997-2003 used .doc as the file extension. The default in 2010 is .docx  There is an option within the save-as to select the older .doc extension.

  • Hi I have a Lexmark all in one printer how do I get it to work with my ipad mini

    Hi I have a Lexmark all in one printer how do I  get it to work  with my  mini ipad

    It depends upon the model. It's wifi-enabled ? And is it listed on this page as supporting AirPrint : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4356 ?
    If not then do Lexmark have their own app in your country's store that supports that model ? If they don't then there are a number of third-party printer apps such as Print n Share and PrintCentral Pro which might work with it.

  • Does anyone have the Sony HDR-XR500V video camera??

    Does anyone have the Sony HDR-XR500V video camera??
    Is it compatible with a G5 PowerPC? Any pros? or cons? Please advice.

    I'd stay away from Sony unless you are buying pro stuff, but even then...
    Sony software is only compatible with windows & their mac support is pretty much non-existant.
    plus, hard drive camcorders are a terrible idea! if you start having problems, poof, there goes the hours of footage. Even the Sony cams that use flash cards are a bad choice - you usually have to buy their magic gate cards.
    I'd stick with Panasonic or Canon cameras that are SDHC+Internal or just SDHC. AT least this way the cards can be replaced, you can expand the memory, & it's SD - much cheaper to buy than the magic gate cards.
    check out camcorderinfo.com for more info & reviews.
    Now, to import your footage, you will need an app like Voltaic as importing AVCHD with Apple's video apps is only supported on Intel machines. You can still edit with iMovie or Final Cut - the versions that support HD, but the initial import from the camera will have to be done with the 3rd party utility.

  • Link iPhone to Sony DAV-DX155 Home Theater System

    Does anyone know how I can link my iPhone to play music through my Sony home theater system which is model DAV-DX155? I believe it would have to be a particular cable but I dont know which cable that would be. Please help. Thanks!

    One thing that might help out.
    A cable from the headphone jack to your system might be the way to go.

  • Sony Home Theater System DAV-HDX275

    I just bought a home theater system and I am wonder how to connect it to get the best sound out of it while watching blue ray movies or just plain old TV?  There is a HDMI outputy on the back and a digital inout on the back.  Whic one should I use and get th best results
    Thanks!!!

    The DAV-BC50 appears to have only stereo analog input ( pair of L/R RCA jacks). You need a cable with a stereo miniplug on one end and 2 RCA jacks on the other. The soundcard should be set to 2-speaker mode. The DAV-BC50 does not have any way accept discrete multichannel from the soundcard nor to accept encoded AC3/DTS from the soundcard. You can use Dolby Prologic II to get all your speakers going, but you should not use processing when playing DirectSound3D games because it will dilute the intended 3D soundfield produced from 2 speakers.

  • Sony BRAVIA Sound bar home theatre system

    I just bought one of those Sony BRAVIA sound bar home theatre systems & I am trying to hook up my old model vcr/dvd combo so I can get surround sound on the dvd player. My husband & I have almost tried everything & it still won't work. It doesn't have an HDMI or an Optical hook up on the back of the vcr/dvd player. How can I hook up the surround sound to play through the vcr/dvd player?

    The bravia sound bar has analog hoook up as well.......what you will do is take the red & white audio cables.....and plug them into the OUT of the existing dvd player and then plug them to the IN red & white jacks on the back of the bravia sound bar system.
