hey everyone
I have just got a Panasonic sc-pt470 home theatre system and wanted to know to set it up to the ps3?

Question #2:

How do I get surround sound from system to PS3?

I bought at Hitachi HTD-K320 home theater system and I can get the 5.1 to work on the DVD player, like playing a CD. But with my PS3 (connected to a separate HDMI port) I can only hear audio through the front right speaker.

The system only has one HDMI port, I have the PS3 audio connected through standard audio cords right now. (Red and white). Do I need a HDMI splitter to make this work? Any suggestions?

Question #3:

Is Sir Hayden Phillips an employee of HM Revenue & Customs?

Sir Hayden Phillips GCB is chairman of the National Theatre, Senior Partner at HansonWesthouse and charities consultant to TRH The Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall. He is a director of St Just Farms Ltd, of GSL, and an adviser to Englefield Capital. He is chairman of the Salisbury Cathedral Fabric Advisory Committee, chairman of Marlborough College Council and a governor of the Wiltshire Historic Buildings Trust.

His previous career was in the Civil Service. He was Permanent Secretary of the Lord Chancellor's Department (now the Department for Constitutional Affairs) from 1998 to 2004, and Permanent Secretary of the Department for Culture, Media and Sport from 1992 to 1998.

Sir Hayden assured Hitler that the British would be using the metric system before the end of the 20th century and no Brit had the balls to challenge the combined intellect of the French backed up with the 'Joy' of German engineering.

In conversation before dinner with a few far too polite to refuse Brits a month ago he stated that the Munich air disaster on 6th February 1958 was German reprisal for the firebombing of Dresden and spat on the floor.

Question #4:

Question about PS3 connected to Home theater system?

I have Samsung HT-AS730S and I connected to PS3 (I bought two more speaker so I could enjoy 7.1) It works really well. Clear sounds with no lag. But there is one problem. Whenever I am on main screen (XMB) I can't hear moving sound (Whenever I move to next icon) Did I make a mistake on setting? (But it works perfect in other menu or games or movies).Please explain to me what is wrong with my system.

P.S- and what is AAC mode? do I have to select this?

Question #5:

I just bought a Panasonic DVD home theater surround sound system?

i can't get the sound to come through when watching tv but i can get the DVD player to work. I am not sure what i am doing wrong, or if i am missing a cable or something. I have a VIZIO HDTV if that helps any. I have an HDMI cable going from the cable box to the tv, and then i used the RCA cables from the tv to the home theater system but that i not working just the DVD player.

Question #7:

How can I get rid of my mom's boyfriend?

Note:
Im going to call my mom's boyfriend, my stepdad and his two kids stepbrother and stepsister
I'm 16
stepbrother is 15
stepsister is 13

My mom is dating this guy who is a total jerk. They have been dating and living together for about 5 years now and it has now came to a point that its either him or me. I also can't stand his two kids. His kids get everything they want and have no appreciation for anything. last Christmas my mom bought are "family" a Wii. It was downstairs in the living room, we all shared it. About a month after we had it, my stepbrother through a temper-tantrum because he didn't have his own. So he broke the one that we all shared. The next day my mom's boyfriend brought in 2 Wiis'. I thought he bought are family a new one and was going to give the other to his son, I was wrong. He got 1 for his son and the other for his daughter. His kids are also the biggest snitches/liars I ever met. One time are power went out, so I took a lighter and lit a candle. They decided to call their dad and tell him I was playing with fire. When their dad came down yelling, they told him that I was threatening to burn them with the lighter and then burn down the house. I hate his kids more then I hate him, but I still hate him.

Now about my stepdad. When my mom and him first met, he lied to her saying that he had a cabin in North Carolina and that he had his own boat. My mom later found out he lied, but didn't care. He has also cheated on her several times in the past 5 years, but still lets him back in the house. Another problem with him is that he is racist. One time, I had over when over my black friends and all he would say is "I hate nigg**s". Then he started talking about how black people should become slaves again. I could go on and on about why I hate him, but then this would turn into a novel.

My stepdad also has a way of manipulating things. A few years ago my stepbrother and stepsister wanted to go to Disney but we didn't have enough money for everyone to go. The next thing I know, they are going on a Disney trip with out me. My mom left me with my grandma to babysit me and promised me that the following year that her and I would go on a vacation. just her and me. The year came and her and I were going to go to Disney and Universal, we saved up for it the whole year. My stepdad then convinced my mom to buy a new home theater and are vacation money went out the door. Some time he manipulates little things too. Last friday I was going to see Cop Out but my stepsister and stepbrother wanted too see Alice in Wonderland. Their was no problem with we seeing different films but their was a problem with us seeing a film in the same theater. My stepdad convinced my mom that my friends and I would cause some type of problem and that it would be better if I went to see it at another theater or wait for it to come out on blu-ray. Now Im waiting to see it next week with my friends or waiting for it to come out on blu-ray.

It has came to a point where it is either him or me. I love my mom but I can't stand my stepdad and his kids. If I had a real dad, then I would live with him but I don't so Im stuck between a rock and a hard place. I want to get rid of him, how can I though?


I have also talked to my mom about them and she knows his kids are little brats but she said she loves him (ewww) and that if he kicks him out she will be lonely again and would just lay in bed depressed.

Question #8:

Got "kicked out of church", seriously, who does this!?

When I was younger I went to a catholic church all the time, adults & children sat in & listened to the preacher, than catechism for the kids was after the church service. I'm an adult now w/ kids & decided to start going to church again. I started going to a nondenominational church (it's basically christian, but people from all religions are welcome). It's one of those hip/upbeat churches that has a band & does lighting etc. During service they have different rooms for the kids. I have 3 kids, a 7 yr old who is in the grade school room, a 2 yr old & an 8 mo old who would be in the nursery. My 2 yr old is very shy & is a mama's boy - I stay at home, so he's not used to being left with strangers. Whenever I put him in the nursery he cries & just stands there sad the whole time. Then for the next few days he is clung to me like glue & wakes up in the night crying & comes into my room. So I decided I would stop putting him in there & bring him into service with me. He didn't yell, scream, cry, or touch other people, but he did talk a lot in his normal voice. When I was younger, church was not quite, there would be talking & kids making noises, you just had to teach your children to learn to be quiet & listen. It was something they were taught & learned to control as they grew older - which is a good thing, it teaches kids how to be respectful. When there was only about 15 mins left of the service one of the head people at church came up to me & told me I should put my son in the nursery, etc. He basically kicked us out of church. I was furious. I know that a noisy child is rude to others, but he was not very noisy, & he didn't need to make a scene. For some reason, they don't really like kids to listen to the service, I think it's good for them to learn. Anyways, this is church, it's God's place, everyone should be welcome. It's not like you're at a movie theater where you pay to go enjoy time without kids, this was a church. I was embarrassed, everyone seen him walk up to us & stared at us as we walked out. Who does this? What right does anyone have to kick us out of church?! If my child is not welcome, that means I am not welcome. I was so offend. If anything, the guy should have waited until service was over & spoke to me when others weren't around. All he had to say was I don't know if you were aware of this, but others could hear your son & it was a little distracting, maybe next time you might want to let him try the nursery. Than we could have discussed the situation & figured out a way to resolve it. But instead, I feel like I was a child being punished for something I did wrong. And I feel I did nothing wrong. All I did was bring myself & my child in to hear the teachings of god. Is there no tolerance any more? Church is one place where everyone should be & feel welcomed & I feel I was shut out. I even volunteered to start working the nursery. I thought then I could be at church & with my child, so that he would get used to being in the nursery, & eventually I could leave him in there without all the clingy aftermath. And this is the thanks I get? I'm suppose to start training next week. I'm so mad, I think I may never go back. Why is it that really religious people seem to be the most judgmental, when they should be the most understanding?

Question #9:

How do i get this girl?

So this girl had a thing with me all last summer. We went to homecoming together but she moved away shortly after so we never got a chance to date. She moved back 4 months later. As soon as she got back some other guy asked her out, and i was dating a different girl.

I broke up with my gf and that night she called me and asked me if i wanted to go see a movie with her, my bestfriend and his girlfriend. I went and had a good time. Me and her didnt really talk though. We texted a little in the theater though. The next weekend we were all supposed to hang out again. Her mom called her almost as soon as we got to my bestfriends gf's house, that she was grounded and had to go home.

After we dropped her off my bestfriends gf (who is bestfriends with her) told me that she said that she broke up with her bf because she wants to see what she missed with me. She said that she wants to re-get to know each other and then see where it goes from there. A week later my bestfriends gf told me that she said that she was confused on who she liked, and she wants to have some time to figure out what she wants.

She was grounded again this weekend so we didnt get to hang out either. We text some but she never has her phone on her since she is grounded. I really want to get this girl. I really liked her and i tore me up inside when she left. I dont know what to do because those two statements are exact opposites. What should i do? please help!!!

Question #11:

Need help wiring 4-wire surround speakers with only 2 wires...?

I'm upgrading from a home theater in a box type system to a receiver with 5.1 surround. I have a Yamaha reciever and my friend gave me a set of Marantz (model ss2500sl) speakers. I was about to wire everything up and noticed that the speakers have 4 terminals on the back of them. I've not very familiar with this stuff and have never seen 4 terminals on the back of a speaker. Can I use a short wire to connect the 2 positive terminals together and also connect the 2 negative terminals together? Is this kind of speaker system even compatible with my reciever?
Any help with wiring these speakers would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
A little more info...
Been doing some research but still cant find the answer.
The 4 terminals are in a row and there is no sort of bridge connecting any of these terminals.

Question #12:

What to buy with my PS3 for sound?

I am going to go to the store and get a PS3 today, and I am interested in playing games, but also storing and playing music and photos, and streaming netflix and Pandora. My question is, what else should I buy to amplify the sound so I can listen to my music and games through something with a little punch? Walmart has a Samsung "home theater in a box", which has 4 mini speakers, the midrange, and woofer for 200 dollars, and it includes a bluray player. This seems redundant because the PS3 has bluray already. But the system looks decent and it will dock my IPOD. Is there something I might be able to get to make it thump a little by spending less? Does the PS3 amplify at all? I wanted to ask the geeks before I go face the Walmart employees, who can sometimes be helpful, often not.

Question #13:

I'm feeling a bit depressed, what can I do?

It's just everything at the same time and it's so unsettling. I hate my nose and my hair. I am never happy about my appearance and want plastic surgery as soon as I can afford it. I have lived in the projects for more than a decade and seeing everyone else with homes depresses me because I never got to live in a house and I'm too ashamed to invite friends over. My ring dance is coming up and I haven't got a date. I don't even feel like going anymore. I mentioned to my mom that I wanted extensions but she just ignored me and started talking about her own things to do. I'm almost 17 and never been kissed or had a boyfriend. Thinking about college is stressing me out. All the emails and mail and I'm not even prepared for the SATs. I'm in painting and theater class and have a project due soon and a play coming up and it's all too much. I'm not seeing any positives in my life and feel like giving up sometimes. I didn't feel this way earlier though. I was really hyper and talkative. I'm just sick and tired of my life. I never have money to buy things normal teenagers buy. And each day, I'm getting older and everyday is the same. I don't really want to hear anyone telling me I sound whiny or that there's people out there that have it worse than me. I know that. But this is how I am feeling.

Question #14:

Does this first/middle combo sound okay?

Amélie Jacqueline (ah-may-LEE zhahk-LEEN). Yes; that is a legit pronunciation of Jacqueline.

Both names are French. I love how they flow together, but is there too much of the "lee" sound? Let me know what you think!

:]

Question #16:

Cheap/Affordable 5.1 Surround Sound System for HDTV and PS3?

Here is an example of what I may want to get:

Click Here

I have never owned my own home theater surround sound system before and I would like to know more. I have a PS3 currently hdmi connected to my Auria 22" 1080p HDTV but has no optical cable output, however my PS3 does and so does the Samsung item (click link above). So my question is, would I be able to work this out? Or would my HDTV need an optical port? I've heard of some optical converters, though I am not sure.

Please be brief and don't give short bullshit answers please. Thank you.

Question #17:

Home Theater System help?

I have a Home Theater System with 5 speakers. Left front, right front, back left, back right, and a center speaker. For some reason only the front two speakers emit a hissing sound that is pretty noticeable even at a relatively low volume. If anyone has any tips on what could be causing this I would appreciate it. It is not the speaker wires because I have moved them around with the same result.

Question #18:

I am a home theatre installer. I will give all the pertinent details. You can all decide what's fair.?

I am a home theatre installer. Recently I did a job for a customer who to me seems very unreasonable. To make a long story short, I was installing a satellite system for him. I installed the dish, ran the lines into the house and then when I was about to run the lines up to the television from the basement, I was required to drill 2 holes. He left me alone for the entire installation until this point. When he heard me in the living room he came down and said "where are you going to drill the hole to downstairs". After doing my research and going by the safe route which I always use, I said in the hardwood next to the baseboard. He said "no, not there, my wife will kill me. I want you to go through right here, (he then pointed to an exact spot). I said I see there is a cable there already. He said yes, I watched them install that. I said does it go straight downstairs or does it take some bends? He said it goes straight down. I then drilled a hole which went into a wall cavity (his house is 120+ years old and in disrepair). I said that cable does not go straight downstairs does it! He said I guess not. I then put the hole where I originally wanted to and everything worked fine. I left the job and 5 hours later he called me and said "I have water on the floor in my basement" I thought, oh great here we go. I said "turn your water off obviously and call in a plumber". He then called me back later and said the plumber fixed the knicked pipe (from where he INSISTED I put the original hole). The cost was $275. The next day we agreed I would have my friend contractor replace all the damp drywall and insulation/vapor barrier. My friend went out and took two sections of wall out, cleaned up and left. Total work 3 hrs and $250 bill to me at a deal. Upon taking the wall out, all of the wood in the wall was discovered to be rotted from years of termites and other moisture damage long before this happened. The contractor reccomended that the entire section be replaced as main supports of the house were rotted terribly. The homeowner then said I just want the drywall screwed into the rotten wood and we'll leave it for now. He now says he wants me to cover the cost of the plumber instead. Please consider all facts and let me know what you all think is fair here.

Question #19:

Where do you hook up the optical digital cable up to?

I have a 47" Phillips TV. I also have a 1000w home theater system. I was wondering where I hook the optical digital cable to. I have Dishnetwork HD receivers. The sound isn't as great as I would've hoped. The sound is off from the mouths on the tv. I heard one of these cables would do the trick, but I don't know where to hook it up at. Any help would be grateful. Thanks!!
Also, does it make it sound better?

Question #20:

Is it ok to mount the speakers on the wall if there isn't any holes to hang them from?

Same home theater system as the first question i asked. The speakers don't have any way to mount them so do i make my own hangers or go to walmart and buy them?
