None of the TVs I've looked at have a video out jack. How can I record stuff onto my VCR if there's no video output capability? The salesmen, as expected, have no clue.
Answered On June 26 2008, 10:12 pm By Chris ShafferUnder Connections and CablesGeneraly speaking, Your going to be running your tv signal from the wall to the vcr and then from the vcr's output into the tv when you wish to record using your vcr. Running your signal this way would avoid the issue of a video out entirely. If your getting a cable box with your new set then you could run it from your wall to the cable box, run either a set of component (red green blue and two audio) or an hdmi cable to the set and use the boxes coax out into the vcr. Unfortunatly, most sets these days will not have a coax or composite (red yellow and white) output on them so running your set up one of these two ways is usualy the best solution. If you have any other questions feel free to ask away!!

- Just bought and set up a 42in.JVC 1080p LCD TV. The salesman tried to sell me an HDMI cable for $80.00 claiming that this set required it to maximize picture quality. I didn't buy it and just went ahead and used the component cables from my previous Sony 720p projection TV setup. It looks good to me but I've since seen HDMI cables on eBay for $10.00 or less. Question: is there any justification in performance or quality to account for a $70.00 spread between what appear to be identical cables? Whatever the performance benefit, my main interest in HDMI is to eliminate some of the "cable clutter" at back of the set.

- Have a Toshiba 56 in projection that after 20-30 min the Connivance is shifting to a point that you see 3 images (red, blue, white). After about a 45-60 min of the entire shift it stops and than you have to and realign the colors. Questions 1 Is this repairable? 2 If so what should I expect to spend? 3 Or should I just say good bye and get a new HDTV? Thanks
