Keith, have you ever walked into a fast food restaurant, like McDonald's per se; and said, "Give me a hamburger".

And they did? Just plopped a hamburger on the counter, and there you go?

K.
We have the same problem here. Need the model number of the Nobilis desktop computer.

    http://productreviewratings.com/2011/06/... Easier way to find out. Let's look at what actual hardware is installed in the computer. Suggest use the tiny free CPU-Z from CPUID.com, and GPU-Z. To download CPU-Z; 1) Under the subheading - Download latest release - on the right, click on the purple - 1.62 setup, english. (Has the purple square with the white CPU-Z in it, to the left ) Click on Download now! in the purple rectangle. Give it a couple of seconds; a small window will come up on the right - Opening cpu-z_1.62-setup-en.exe Click on Save File. A small download window will come up on the left. Allow the file to fully download, then DOUBLE-click right on the file name. Click on Run. (Yes it is an Executable file, but No it won't cause any harm. Posting in case you get the Microsoft 'sqawk box' ) Now click on Next, Next, and Finish, at the bottom of the next 3 small windows. After installing close all windows. (Unless, when you have finished installing; it indicates clicking will run it ) Go to the CPU-Z icon on your desktop screen now, and DOUBLE-click on it. CPU-Z automatically opens on the CPU (Processor ) tab. Click on the Graphics tab. What does it state? Also, what does the CPU tab state, as far as Name, Code Name, and Package? This is GPU-Z,http://www.techpowerup.com/gpuz/ Scroll to the bottom of the page, click on the blue - The lastest version is available in the downloads section. Click on the top blue one - TechPowerUp GPU-Z V0.6.6 Go to the right, click on the blue - Download now. (Above - File size: 1.2MB) Pick a server name to download from, click on it. A small window will come up on the right - Opening GPU-Z.0.6.6.exe Click on Save File. Do the same thing you did for CPU-Z, now. Once I have the Graphics information, (And bits of the Processor info), we'll see what the graphics limitations may be.

SOURCE: Dimension 5150 (DIM515MIN) PC Desktop: I want to know what kind of case a dell has. I'm p...

The Dimension 5150 has a BTX case, which is nearly impossible to upgrade. The motherboard is NOT interchangeable (with a few exceptions, but none of which are true upgrades).

If you have a PCI Express slot, you can upgrade the video card but do not get a card that requires an additional power cable directly from the power supply. This is because the stock power supply is very weak and doesn't have outputs for additional cards. If the card requires no additional power, you should be fine.

You can upgrade your processor with the P4 [Prescott] 5xx or 6xx Series Processors with HT. The 5150 does not support core 2 duo processors. Depending on what you currently have, this may or may not be worthwhile. Also note that higher power processors run at higher temps, which sometimes causes a noticeable increase in fan noise.

The hard drive is easily upgradeable. Just buy any standard sized SATA hard drive. Your computer case supports two drives, so you could keep your current drive and just add a second drive. Remember to buy a SATA cable with the new drive because new drives usually don't come with them.

Overall, if you're looking to get outstanding performance, get a new computer. BTX computers are not gaming computers. You'll end up dumping money into this thing just to get a lousy increase in performance.

SOURCE: Which cords and/or plugs should I use inorder to connect a projector to a computer

if your desktop doesn't have a standard vga socket then you can get a dvi adapter that fits onto the end of a vga lead. you will still need a seperate cable for audio as a dvi connection only does video.

Need to hook up LG tv to phillips cd/4 head hi fi and RCA surround sound

Hello!
Ok: I will guide yourself through "hook up" process.
1. connect your TV set to your VCR, using 3 wires RCA cable(Yellow, red, white) to "Video1" input, yellow only! The other 2(sound channels) connect to "home theater/DVD unit. Use "aux" input.
2. Connect your DVD video output. yellow or 3 colored( green, blue, red) component cables to your TV's Video 2 or "component 1" input.
Now you'll be able to use your TV as a video monitor for your VCR and DVD.
The sound will be handled by DVD/Home theater. In case your TV is a very modern, all you can get out is: direct digital sound stream. Your home theater must be equipped with coaxial(orange) input(looks like RCA plug) or optical input. Or both. You must use proper cables to connect TV to Home theater.
sorry, but it requires some patience and thorough reading of user manuals.
Otherwise, it's "level 1" difficulty. nothing you may damage, due to installation.
Good luck,
Feel free to ask for more help, if needed.
thanks,
Alex.

I want to hook my dell latitude d610 to my emerson hdtv can you help

If you are using the S-video TV out connection from the laptop then you need to have the S-video cable to connect to the s-video input in the TV.

You have not specified which emerson TV model you have. But in general emerson TV has got the S-video input connector. See page 10 of the manual. You can also connect the headphone connection of laptop to the L and R audio input of TV. You will need the adapter cable for this.

Scroll to the bottom of this page for details of TV connection.

Please accept the solution if useful otherwise post a comment so I can help you further.

Have a toshiba a10 and a vizio hdtv, what cable do I need to connect the two

Hi.

You don't say what you intend to do once the 2 devices are connected. I am going to assume that you just want to use the vizio hdtv as a large external monitor.

The laptop's vga (15-pin blue or black D-shaped) port can connect direct to the hdtv via it's blue vga (15-pin blue D-shaped) port.

However, your toshiba a10 laptop is relatively old, discoontinued technology with (in original specification) low RAM (256mb ddr), a single, slow processor (2.2ghz celeron) and slow (4300rpm), small hard drive (30gb), with limited, low level vga graphics capability, running xp home edition operating system. VGA is a slow analogue video technology.

To get the full benefit of the hdtv, which is almost state-of-the-art, you need a laptop with a fast dual or quad core processor, 3-4gb ddr3 RAM, 320-500gb 5400-7200rpm or solid state HDD, running the latest windows 7 operating system. Such a laptop would have hdmi ports and powerful, fast, state-of-the-art graphics capability.

A new laptop would unlock the full spectrum of , high definition video, high speed audio-visual streaming, fast video-editing, multimedia functionality between the two devices.

For your current laptop you need a male-to-male 15-pin, D-Sub VGA cable.

For the recommended or a similar, modern laptop you would need an HDMI cable.

Hope this helps.

Blue screen that says RGB on my vizio

I'm sorry for the difficulties you're experiencing in watching programs on the TV. Since the screen says RGB, it appears that you've selected input as RGB(VGA, also known as PC input). If you have nothing connected to PC input (RGB), please change the input to HDMI or component or what ever it is by using the input button on the Remote of the TV.

In some TVs INPUT Button is labeled as TV/Video. Press it repeatedly to change the input from one to next.

Thanks for understanding. Please let me know if you require any clarifications.

How do i connect to an hdtv ?

You're going to need to connect a cable supported by BOTH the PC and HDTV. Check your HDTV's jack panel or manual. List the types of Input jacks it offers. The HDTV will likely have Component, Composite, DVI, HDMI and maybe even VGA jacks. Do the same for your PC. It likely has one or two Video Output jacks. Typical Video Outputs are DVI and VGA. The VGA type has been standard for years. It consists of a total 15 pins in 3 rows. The DVI has a number of pins, but most noticeable is a wide tab at one end of the jack.

If your HDTV has a jack that matches one of those found on the PC, you're in luck. Purchase a cable that will connect them - this would be either a VGA cable or and DVI cable. Nearly any inexpensive VGA or DVI (Digital Video Interface) cable 6 ft or less will do, but the better cables cost a bit more and when the distance is increased, the quality (or lack thereof) really becomes visible - especially on the lager HDTV screens.

If you want the sound to go to the TV speakers or elsewhere, you'll need to get a cable with a 3.5mm stereo plug (or whichever type your PC has - but that's the most common) to RCA or whatever the audio input jack type is that is associated with the video input you chose. The audio input must be the one associated with the video input - other wise you will not hear the audio on input 4 while watching input 3. The PC audio out is analog, so do try to put the signal into a digital input.

If you don't have a matching video input jack, you'll have to purchase an adapter or new video card with jacks that match your TV. Do not buy simple adapters that change VGA to DVI as they will not convert the actual analog VGA signals to Digital Video signals expected by the HDTV's DVI jack. The best bet is to buy a modern video card supported by your computer's mother board and OS that has a fair amount of memory (512 MB is a good start). If your HDTV has HDMI jacks and you wish to play the sound from the HDTV's speakers, get a card with HDMI output and buy an HDMI cable. It will send both the sound and video to the HDTV for you.

You can read a nearly endless list of articles about HTPCs aka "Home Theater Personal Computers" for ideas and deep discussions about everything from soup to nuts to implement, design and set up on google.

I hope this helps - good luck!

Rx-v1900 hdmi hdtv problem

On most modern receivers you must select which signal type you want it to process.

for example on my Denon, I have to go into the on screen menu and select the input I want ie: video 1.Then tell it which signal I want it to use ie: s-video, component or HDMI input for video and then which input corresponds to the audio signal for that component ie: analog, digital, optical or hdmi.

Its complicated and a pain in the ****

Hopefully that helps call Yamaha they will usually walk you through the process while on the phone.

Old receiver won't work with new HD TV

This looks like a great receiver for its day. I think you can keep it in service until you get into SACD, DTS or some of the other nearly obsolete but awesome audio formats that exist.

Most people use modern AC receivers to also manage video switching between multiple digital video/audio sources such as HDTV and Blu-Ray. Personally, I run mine with the videos going straight to different inputs on my TV and the audios going into different inputs on my receiver. Yes, I have to switch two things whenever I switch video sources. Life could be MUCH worse!

In actuality, there is little real need to have the TV attached to the receiver for much more than a basic video output, which this unit has, so you can observe its On Screen Displays, mostly for setup.

To address your unit and modern TV's... your limitation appears to be that it does not have an HDMI port or two for those possible hi-end AV inputs that you have not mentioned owning. If you do have them you'll actually have to do like I do and think a moment when changing video sources. The horror! As I said above, I would not consider that a show-stopper. The three digital audio inputs (two coaxial and one optical) might be plenty and of the right types for your equipment mix, but there are no 5.1 analog ins or outs for the real high-end audio formats, but you may never want nor encounter them. You can probably live without 5.1 analog.

Without knowing more about the TV in question it's hard to answer what the Best Buy guy told you. If the TV has a standard S-video or composite video input this receiver will work with it for basic video and your other HD/DVD sources can fight for whatever inputs the TV has available.

Best Buy would probably like to sell you a new receiver but I think you'll keep this one online for awhile.

Not supported mode message

Sounds like your source device is sending a signal that your TV does not know how to interpret.

This usually happens when you try to input a computer (PC) signal to a device expecting video.

If you are indeed trying to connect your PC to your TV, and your PC allows "HDTV resolutions" (most modern graphics hardware allows this) then set the output to 1080i or 720p (1920x1080 or 1280x720) and it should work.
