Any home theater receiver allows you to connect a minimum of five speakers, including a front left and right pair, a center channel speaker, and a surround pair. You can always add a subwoofer if desired. Some advanced receivers allow you to connect an additional one or two "back surround" speaker(s) for use with 6.1-channel sources such as DTS-ES or Dolby Digital EX-encoded DVDs.

It is relatively easy to connect a HSU subwoofer to certain computer sound cards. These sound cards have a dedicated subwoofer output. Without a subwoofer output on the card, it is still possible to hook up a VTF or STF-3 subwoofer, since these subwoofers have stereo inputs. Use a Radio Shack splitter/adapter (one 1/8-inch stereo male to two 1/8-inch stereo female). Take the stereo 1/8-inch output from the computer sound card.

Probably. Any wireless receiver supporting the industry standard 802.11b or 802.11g protocols should work. However, in rare cases, we have found wireless receivers which had compatibility issues with the computer upon which it was installed.

HF-1000 - I needed to use a null modem cable, but one beta tester said he used a normal serial cable with his set. AR7030 - No popular serial cables work with the AR7030 due to the use of a DIN connector at the receiver end. The manufacturer sells a custom cable, part number 7030PC, which can be ordered from AOR or their distributors.

Be sure to purchase an amp with a wattage rating that falls into the wattage rating of your speakers. In other words, if you have speakers with a wattage rating of 10 - 80 watts, be sure not to get an amp with an RMS wattage rating of more than 80-watts per channel. Of course, you must also be sure that the amp you select is powerful enough for the way you like to listen (see FAQ on BLOWING SPEAKERS). As long as you purchase a receiver that your speakers can handle, you have a good match.

The best speakers for your receiver are the speakers that sound best to you. We pride ourselves on manufacturing products that have as "honest" a sound as possible. This being the case, the speakers you purchase will sound the way they were designed to sound. Your best bet is to listen to several different speakers using the same amp/receiver. Select the speakers that sound best to you.

A USB cable and the presence of USB connections are not yet adequate for exchanging data successfully. However, data transfer can be effected using a USB cable if a serial COM Port is emulated by the GPS receiver. The GPS data must be available in the NMEA 0183 format when data is called up online, so that Geogrid is in a position to evaluate these data.

The existing router is an AirPort Extreme Base Station set up as WDS main, with the AirPort Express set up as WDS remote. You have a wired-only router sharing your Internet connection with a separate wireless access point that bridges the network to wireless clients. As in the two examples above, the AirPort Express would be either a WDS remote or in client mode. Answer: AirPort Express acts as a print server for any Mac OS X 10.

For those with USB-capable Macs, transfers to and from the GPS receiver data port work equally well through Keyspan USB to Serial Adapters under Mac OS X or under Mac OS 9. James Associates Inc. sells a complete line of interconnect cables for connecting a Macintosh to a GPS receiver. Whether your Mac is old or new, we have the interconnect cables that you need.

Navtex receivers can be connected to NaviGator. Again they need to have the following pin connections: Pin 2 - NMEA / Position In, Pin 3 - NMEA / Position Out, Pin 5 - Ground. Once it is connected and messages are being received and they have a Lat and Long, they will be displayed on the chart for you to click on and view the message.

We provide an installation manual with step-by-step instructions. FSL equipment is designed for a wide range of interfaces and relays. For special applications, FSL can provide special interfaces.

To connect the audio output from the computer to the AV receiver, you need a stereo mini-plug to a stereo RCA pin cord. Then connect the line-out from the computer sound card to an available audio input on the receiver. Select the input and adjust the volume output from the receiver.

The audio output is a standard line-out 3.5mm stereo jack, with an AC voltage of 1-2V. This can connected directly to the auxiliary input of most HIFI amplifiers, in place of a CD player. There are also four solder points on the PCB for 'hard wiring' audio. See the manual for more details. Another useful gadget is an FM stereo transmitter, which can be used to broadcast the audio output from the player to nearby radios and/or HIFI receivers.

First take a look at the wattage of your amplifier. Figure a minimum of 20 watts of power per pair of speakers. Divide the wattage of the amplifier by 20 watts per pair to find the maximum number of speaker pairs that can be impedance matched for the amplifier. (Example: 100 amplifier - divided by - 20 watts per room = up to 5 pair of impedance matched speakers.)

No you don't. People frequently make video connections to their receiver, and then from their receiver to their TV, in order to minimize the number of things that need to be switched when changing from one video source to another — a kindness for less technically inclined household members and guests. Of course you'll still need to make an audio connection from your video sources if you want to hear the sound they offer through your receiver and speakers, rather than through your TV.

You will need to buy a 3.5mm ended to a RCA stereo cable from an electronics store. Hook up via the audio 3.5mm out to the receiver audio in.

The phone line connected to your receiver(s) ensures your ability to purchase Pay-Per-View movies and events . It is also required so your receiver's may be updated with the latest software. If you do not have a phone line, there will be an additional $5 per month charge per receiver. The DISH antenna is 20 inches and complies with the Satellite Consumer Bill of Rights, a regulation released by the FCC on August 6, 1996.

No. A DA1920SX transmitter requires a DA1921SX receiver, and a DA1931CT receiver connects to a DA1930CT transmitter only. The main reason is how the video signals are encoded in the transmitter. DA1930CT + DA1931CT provide superior encoding algorithm and signal quality for video transmission.
