No picture using component connections with Sony STR-DG710 Receiver

I have been unable to get a picture (sound appears to be ok) using component cables to connect to a Sony 710 receiver - the (2) HDMI inputs on the receiver are taken by equipment that can not use component cables. Apple Store checked Apple TV unit and said component outlets were ok. I did barrow one of the HDMI cables to set the system up (1080i resolution was selected). Does anyone have an idea what the problem is?

There may be an easy answer here. It's your receiver - not the apple TV
1080p HDMI Inputs: The Sony receiver features two 1080p HDMI inputs and one 1080p HDMI output. The receiver transmits both audio and video through the HDMI monitor output to your TV or you can choose for the HDMI monitor out terminal to only output video to your television. Video signal that is input through HDMI input can only be output through the HDMI monitor output terminal.
Note: The receiver does not offer video upconversion.
So it looks like if you go HDMI in - you have to go HDMI out (to your TV)
If you go component in - you need to go component out (to your TV)

When I print a 4x6 color picture using an iMac with the latest operating system using a Canon MX892 printer, faint black lines appear every 3/16 of an inch. When I print the same picture using iPhoto there is no problem.

What is the resolution of the picture that you are trying to print?
Go to Image>resize>image size, read the resolution in px/in, then report back, please.
Also, are you in a position to try printing with another printer in an attempt to narrow this down?

What I.Link wire is used to connect my Sony Handy Cam to my iMac Mountain Lion?

What I.Link wire is used to connect my Sony Handy Cam to my iMac Mountain Lion?

Hi,
If I remember correctly it is some while since Sony used iLink (Firewire) which would mean it is Firewire 400.
This would be the smaller 6 pin at the camera end and a 400 9 pin one at the "computer" end.
However we would now be looking at needing a 400 to 800 adaptor/link cable for newer computers.

Uploaded pictures using usb? You mean to your computer? That only stores them on your computer, it doesn't add them to photo stream.

Receiving emails about a newly set up itunes account that does not belong to me (although has my name). The address used in connection with it seems to be in California and the person likes Justin Bieber - what's going on here?

Hi. I am receiving emails about a newly set up itunes account that does not belong to me (although has my name). The address used in connection with it seems to be in California and the person likes Justin Bieber (as I now have a receipt for that purchase). It states that it is billed to store credit. (a) I don't want to receive this person's information and (b) I certainly don't want to somehow be charged for it (although it appears, thus far, that I have not been). What's going on?

i didn't read a lot of your 2nd paragraph, but it seems like the password is the issue, right?
do a true clean install
reboot your machine and hold down command+option+r, you should see a spinning globe - if you don't see the globe or anything that reads internet recovery, shut down and try again
at menu, chose disk utility and once there, find your HD on the left side, select the physical name and erase it as mac journaled
exit disk utlity
at menu, choose install OSX
this time, when it asks for a password just hit continue, it will let you complete without a password
you should be able to get into your laptop, now figure out what password you'll be able to use with your kb issue

Remote infrared codes for the Sony STR-DE675 receiver

Where can I find the remote infrared codes for the Sony STR-DE675 receiver? They are not in the Owner's Manual, nor on the Sony.com website. Thanks.GBP

If you were getting sound and no picture when you had the Wii hooked up to your surround sound receiver, your TV was probably on the wrong input. You would have needed to use the source or input button on your TV's remote and changed the input to the component 1 choice, since that is the port you stated you plugged the Wii into on the TV.
Your cable remote may not be programmed to work with the blu-ray player. However, I think you're misunderstanding the function of the buttons at the top of your remote labeled TV, Sat/Cab, VCR, etc. Your cable remote doesn't work like a Harmony remote. Pushing those buttons at the top of your cable remote are not like pushing the Watch TV or Watch DVD functions on a Harmony (meaning pushing them doesn't change the TV's input automatically). All those buttons at the top of the remote are for that you're describing are to tell the remote which components to control. For example, you are watching cable TV and just used the remote to change the channel but now you want to adjust the volume. You would have to hit the "TV" button on the cable remote to switch the remote from controlling the cable box to controlling the TV. Otherwise, you'd hit the volume controls over and over and nothing would happen b/c the remote would still think it was controlling the cable box. Only a Harmony remote (or similar universal remote) can change the TV's input with the click of a function button.
And to explain why one must change the TV's input when switching components, I always compare the process to the way a tube TV used to work for those that are new to the flat screen TVs. Think of the way your old TV probably worked - you had to have the TV on channel 3 for your VCR, 4 for cable, etc. The input changing is practically the same thing with just a few more steps, if that helps to make things any clearer. LOL
Nothing I post is an official statment of Best Buy or Geek Squad, it is only a helpful opinion!

Sony STR-DG500 Receiver

I have had a kid mess up the TV settings on the receiver and the volume is terrible. The radio volume through the receiver is good, but the TV volume is very low. I have to play it on max volume most of the time. I have checked all connections and tried other settings with no luck. Any ideas on where to start?? Thanks for any help!!

I just installed the 3.0.2 firmware upgrade and I still can't get my Apple TV to transmit HDMI video to my TV via my Sony STR-DH500 receiver. All other components - Blu-Ray player, Scientific Atlanta cable TV converter, and Acer laptop work just fine with the HDMI switch in the tuner.
AppleTv is notoriously fickle with some switches/AV receivers over HDMI.
Question is whether this is due to an over rigorous HDMI implementation by Apple but it would seem odd that other manufacturers just had lax implementations.
Apple TV works when connected directly to the TV, but I really don't want to have to keep swapping HDMI cables.
No, I agree very frustrating. HDMI great when it works!
Have you considered connecting via component to the TV/receiver and analogue or optical audio ?
Is this lack of compatibility due to heavy-handed anti-piracy measures on Apple's part?
Doubt it, it happens with unprotected material presumably too.
Apple TV is the first Apple product I've ever owned, and will likely be the last. There's one good thing about Apple TV: the interface is awesome.
Yes, makes up for lots of other things.
But, I should be able to connect it via an HDMI switch, shouldn't I?
Yes, it's not necessarily AppleTV at fault but when other devices all work it certainly suggests it's the problem.
And Apple won't give me any support over the phone unless I pay $49?!
I wouldn't bother I doubt you'd get anywhere other than being advise to try a different switch or plug into your TV.
Is anyone else having this issue?
Yes, with certain device pairings several posts comment about this.
While some non mainstream brand switches might not be implemented well you'd expect Sony to be ok.
Is there anything else I should try?
Apart from component no.
Is there a hack that can fix this problem?
No.

How to connect with sony bravia.

Hi,
I'm trying to connect my Mac pro with my Sony Bravia LCD TV. I bought a MiniDP to VGA cable and I already had a VGA extension to connect with my TV. I used to use that cable to connect my other laptop and worked ok with frequent "no synchronisation". Once I connected all, nothing happened. I restarted the PC but nothing happened. I tried to play around with all connection, but nothing happened. I do use windows XP in my mac pro as well and it didnt work their either although my other PC working fine with same VGA cable. I'm not very sure my MiniDP to VGA cable is working or not? Is there anyway I can check its working. Also, someone (sorry forgot the name) in the forum said, HDMI works better then VGA. What do I have to do to connect my PC through HDMI. Is there any direct cable to connect MiniDP and HDMI? Thanks for your help.

The best way to test if the VGA adapter is bad or not is to try it with another display, preferably a computer monitor instead of a TV. If it doesn't work with a monitor, then that's stronger evidence the adapter is bad.
There are MiniDP to HDMI adapters. Here's an example of one. I believe this company will ship internationally. You might be able to find UK sources for similar adapters.

Use Camera RAW with Sony Nex-3

Hey Guys!
I want to get out more details from my photos.
Im using Adobe Photoshop CS5
Sony NEX-3 Compact Camera (listed in the camera raw compatibility list)
First i changed the cameras picture format from jpg to RAW & made some photos.
At home i tried to open the files with Camera Raw. Doesnt work. The sony camera saved the pictures as an ARW File.
So i downloaded Adobe DNG Converter. I converted the ARW into a RAW file and opened it with camera raw.
So far so good! I opended the RAW picture with Photoshop. Just for testing with 8 & also 16 bit. Does my camera support 16bit?
I compared the RAW File with the new created jpg.
Normaly the quality of the raw file should be much better than the compressed jpg i think.
I took a look at some other jpg pictures (i shot them in JPG Mode) & compared them with the RAW Images (RAW Mode).
I saw absolutely no difference between RAW & JPG.
I also tried a exact tonal value correction at both images.
Same with other picture corrections. Details, Noise, Sharpness.... same.
With the Sony NEX-3 there also was a RAW Program included which opens the ARW Files.
I cant see some differences between RAW & jpg here too.
What I am doing wrong?
I have to say that i am an camera raw beginner. I tried this for the first time. I thought this would be easier!
At the screenshot below you see a JPG picture on the left & a 16bit DNG on the right.
I found no differences!
I would be very happy about your help and some good advices.
Best regards Andi

Basicly i understand how RAW works. But im still wondering why i cant see just only a very little difference to my jpg Images.
The image of the Mountain Railway Station i postet has a lot of dark shadow areas & details.
I´m also wondering why these chromatic aberrations are shown in the RAW file? I thought its only in the jpg images because of the compression.
Your raw file may be 12 or 14 bit, and have no output colour space - it is only limited by its physical characteristics and analogue-to-digital converters. You should set Camera Raw for the biggest workspace necessary, which in my case is 16 bit AdobeRGB. Others work in ProPhotoRGB—it's a personal choice. This has the effect of constraining the raw data, and you will learn to use the sliders to work within those constraints.
Using normal processing settings there will only be subtle differences between the conversion preview and the camera JPEG. The tonal response will be slightly different, seeming slightly lighter or darker, and the colours' hue/saturation will be slightly different too. Also, depending on the camera, automatic distortion/vignette/aberration correction will be missing. This is all to be expected, and your expectations have been misplaced.
However, this is only a starting point. Whilst JPEG shooters can go on to process their images, the resulting quality will be inferior; JPEG is a finished image format. Raw shooters have much more to play with, and can manipulate the conversion's parameters to boost shadows, recover highlights, adjust mean exposure, increase/reduce/localise sharpening and noise control, apply processing gradients and masks, apply local contrast and selective saturation boosts, and correct your camera's colour response, as well as apply lens defect corrections—all before the conversion to JPEG.
So, you won't start to see the difference until you start to push these adjustments. You have been given a second (and a third and a fourth...) chance to create your JPEG using your own set of picture parameters, and the ability to change these parameters for each photo after taking the photo.
In your photo above, you can bring out detail in the shadows by boosting Fill and Blacks. As you shot in Raw, you will have a good amount of tonal resolution recorded in the shadows (assuming you didn't underexpose in the first place), which would be absent from a JPEG. You also have the ability to change the sharpening to suit the image, and even apply local sharpening where it's needed most (and less where it's not needed).
You also have the ability to modify Camera Raw's default settings how you like it. You can enable automatic lens defect corrections (like chromatic aberration—make sure you're on ACR 6.7). You can change the default camera profile (which dictates how tone, hue and saturation is translated) to a preset, or make your own using a calibrator. Do this and your starting point will be how you want it, not how Sony wants it.
I could go on, but I think you have probably heard much of this before. The main point I'm making is that you shouldn't expect to see a big difference straight away, but the possibilities you have created are much greater.

Wireless Connection with Sony PSP

I cannot my Sony PSP to the WRT54G using the wireless connection. What are the setting I need?

I have a wrt54g v5 with Firmware Version: v1.02.0 and the PSP has firmware version 3.11.
I shut off all security use DHCP (I also used manual settings) If I scan for a network I can see it and it show 100% signal strength.
But if I try to connect it tells me it can not locate an access point. I scanned the site, I reduced my becon times my rts and fragmentation times, still no progress.
I also have a WII and it also can not connect to the open wireless network. Yet when I scan for it, the Wii can see it as well.
I know it's my network and not somebody elses these divices are seeing as I have a very unique name for my network.
My Router picks up my work Laptop, my personal Laptop and a friends laptop with no issues. I dont think my router is bad but I read the forums and half the people can connect with their WII's and PSP's no problem and the other half, like me flounder. I setup wireless networks for a living and these games have me beat.
I used to use a network Everywhere wirelss router and that never gave me issue , using wep or open modes.. My Linksys.. Kills me.. Has anyone had a problem them fixed it? WRT54G Ver 5 Firmware Version: v1.02.0 please God help me, my 12 year old has me tourtured!

5800 does not maintain connection with Sony Ericss...

I recently upgraded from the N70 to the 5800. I was using a Sony Ericsson HBH-602 bluetooth headset with the N70, and it worked perfectly. Specifically, as long as bluetooth was enabled on the phone, all I had to do was turn on the headset and it would connect with the phone, and remain connected as long as both were powered on and in range.
With the 5800, the headset also connects to the phone when turned on, but the phone drops the connection a few seconds later. However, if I initiate the connection from the phone, it works as expected, and remains connected. This is usable, but it would be preferable if I could control the connection entirely from the headset, as described above.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I have the same problem but with Nokia BH-903.
It worked really fine with the N95, but with the 5800 it doesn't work so well. When i am in a call it always disconnect to the phone, or when i am listening to music it paused the music or it disconnect.

Cannot use WLAN connection with my Satellite Pro A100

Can not use wireless connection. While using "Config Free" to find wireless device the popup 'this connection is controlled by other software'. I do not know what it means and which software controls the connection. I have other laptop which is duly connected by wireless connection. I am ok with wired connection.
I do not know much about technicalities and thus seek help if any reader can.
Thanks
Kris

>Can not use wireless connection. While using "Config Free" to find wireless device the popup 'this connection is controlled by other software'
You should not use the ConfigFree for the Wlan configuration but either the own Vista configuration options or the WLan configuration tool like Intel ProSet Utility or Atheros Clint Utility. It depends on the WLan card what utility can be used.
Intel card -> Intel ProSet Utility; Atheros WLan card -> Atheros Clint Utility
I assume the message +this connection is controlled by other software+ appears because one of the options mentioned above controls the WLan.
