Hello All, First time posting here so apologies if this is not the right forum. I just bought a Samsung Q80T that supports eARC but have a Samsung HW-J550 from 5 years ago which supports ARC but not eARC (as far as I know). Is there an adapter that i can buy to get eARC output from my soundbar...

Hello. I need to output video from a computer to a far away projector, using DVI out of the computer. I know that fiber optic HDMI can run a long distance, and is less expensive than fiber DVI, but it needs power injected at the source side. Can I use a USB-powered DVI to HDMI adapter, or is...

I debated whether or not I should post this here or take this to an electrical forum. I’m sure you will advise. I acquired a small Sylvania subwoofer a few months back but without a power adapter. After doing a lot of research I determined that it would be nearly impossible to find a...

My father-in-law has given me a Bryston 0.5B stereo preamplifier and a Bryston 2B stereo amplifier along with a set of two Mc Intosh speakers. We ask if it is possible to connect a Bluetooth device to the preamp. In the CD / AUX port. What do I need to achieve this? Thank you.

I've got ab Onkyo HT-R590 which has subwoofer pre-out only. I also have a Formula F-12 powered subwoofer with line and speaker level inputs. However, while cleaning the floor the subwoofer was moved ripping off the RCA prong in the subwoofer input. As such, there is no way to connect the line...

Hi everyone, 2 weeks ago I bought a used BenQ 772 with low hours on Ebay and I want to see the advertised 1080i picture. Using composite wires (R/Y/W) the resolution is stuck on 640x480 and the seller does not seem to know the answer. Can anyone tell me what I need to do or buy to make it...

I am planning to purchase a Channel Master DVR+ and have a few questions about suggested model and setup. 1. Is internal or external storage preferable? The internal 1 TB drive on CM-7500TB1 seems more convenient than setting up a portable drive but also seems harder to fix or replace. 2...

Short version: I have a TV that has been working with a Blu-ray player playing DVDs. Now I want to attach a computer as a set top box to display content I have been getting over the Internet and watching while sitting at my computer. What hardware do I need to get the best possible picture with...

Hi everyone, So I have a Sony STR-DH520 Reciever. I just got some Bluetooth Headphones, and I know the receiver doesn't have Bluetooth built in. I was wondering, what is a good, fairly inexpensive option for adding a Bluetooth receiver. Would it just be one of those things that hook into the...

Hello AVS Forum! Cheers :D:D I'm an engineering student and i'm starting on solidworks. For my first undergraduate job i must draw an TRS 1/4 to 3.5mm adapter, and i need the standard sizes of this type of connector. I've already looked for it in all the web, but i didn't found it, just some...

I have been trying to find Windows drivers for a composite-to-USB adapter. It has no box-like things anywhere along it, which suggests that it probably doesn't do much other than directly channel the data on to some USB pins. I also don't know what brand/model it is. When I plug it in, Windows...

I own a 1979 Kenwood Super Eleven Receiver. On the back, in the middle, it has a set of 4 RCA jacks labeled "Adapter" (2 in, 2 out, 2 right, 2 left), controlled by a single "Adapter On / Off" button on the front face of the receiver. I know I can use this as an extra Tape Loop, or to plug in an...
