"Of sure, I would give my left nut for a Sony ICF-5900 in good working order, but I don't have the fortitude for auctions. :) I'm liking the feature set of the Grundig/Eton S450, but the reviews run the gamut from "best portable…"

Runco LightStyle LS-100d DLP LED Projector

For a truly immersive home theater experience, nothing compares to a large image that fills your field of view.  Unfortunately many of us don’t have a room that will work for a projector due to space and throw limitations and are forced to make do with a far smaller plasma or LCD display.  Runco has a solution for those challenging situations with…See More

Dolby CP45 re-wiring surrounds

I've recently wired the non-sync or taken two extra wires from the non-sync input and wired them onto one of the two inputs on format 61 AUX left and right so I can switch the decoders Dolby pro-logic to normal surround mode.I've been thinking of another technique to wiring AUX so I can run the normal surround mode with rear surrounds as it would be in common cinema.Snag is the outputting of channels that would need a little more thought processing to make sure it runs smoothly, so for time…See More
