| 656652 | 2008-04-08 01:36:00 | This is my system I have had since 1989 and have no intentions of upgrading it. Yamaha AX 900 Intergrated Stereo amp 130 watts RMS per channel 8 ohms. Infinity Kappa 6 Speakers, 4 year old Pioneer $400 DVD/CD player which I have hooked up to my new Sony 40" LCD TV, oh as well as my new Sony DVD/HDD recorder. Sounds great. :) |

| 656653 | 2008-04-08 04:51:00 | Hi Winston Gee, just mentioning Ghetto Blasters makes me feel old!! Still got mine . :groan: Ok, this is the way, I would solve your problem cheaply . First as already suggested, get yourself a reasonable two channel stereo and two extra speakers from TradeMe and connect them in the basic HAFLER CONFIGURATION ( . westhost . com/project18 . htm" target="_blank">sound . westhost . com) . This was invented in the 70's, Christ, I am getting old!!:yuck: Anyway, while not true surround sound, it's pretty damn good for the small outlay . :clap Next, suggest you go to your local DSE store and buy one of THESE ( . dse . co . nz/cgi-bin/dse . storefront/47f9f7460c25b60c273fc0a87f3b06ee/Product/View/A9691" target="_blank">www . dse . co . nz) . Then mod it to increase it's range . Goto HERE ( . instructables . com/id/Belkin-Tunecast-II-FM-Transmitter-Mod/" target="_blank">www . instructables . com) for instructions . Tune your FM Radio on the stereo . Now you can broadcast from your ipod, PC, even tape and record player, (Gee, how old are you!!) :eek: etc . Like having your own personal radio station!! Without any extra cables!! As far as the TV and DVD player are concerned do what Speedy already has suggested, connect audio out from the TV to line in . Hope this helps . BURNZEE THE WAY TO A FISHERMAN'S HEART IS THROUGH HIS FLY!! Hi Burnzee - the DSE link just took me to the main page - I'm assuming you meant an FM transmitter - but which one? And do you mean one transmitter for each appliance - DVD, turntable, tape, pc,tv etc? ie . 5 or more FM transmitters? |

| 656654 | 2008-04-08 09:13:00 | Hi Winston Yeah, I checked the link before I posted the last reply but it seems it has been changed . Yes, I mean the Berlkin Tunecast II FM Transmitter, DSE # A9691 . The range is between 10-30 feet stock but if you mod it as suggested, the range will triple!! You only need one, just unplug and use on the next device . After all, you are not going to be listening to more than one at a time anyway . The Belkin Tunecast II FM Transmitter is powered by it's own batteries, two triple A's . Suggest you buy rechargeable batteries to use with it . Suggest NiMH Energizer 4 x AAA 850mAh NiMH Rechargeable Batteries DSE # S9115 . These last between three plus hours in the transmitter . Get four in a pack . Don't forget to buy the correct charger . This FM Transmitter is easy to use as it is portable and self contained . It's no hassle to unplug from one device and plug it into another . Also find a clear spot on your FM tuner, put in memory . Tune in the Belkin and you are in business . You don't even need to turn the transmitter on or off as it will sense the input . No music and it switches off!! Just a little note if you are going to use your stereo, do use the Basic Halfer Configuration for the speakers as this really has to be heard to appreciated . Well worth the effort . Got a older stereo in your car, then use this configuration there too . Hope this clarifies things but don't hesitate to ask if you need further assistance . BURNZEE |
