    How much energy do electronics use when they're on, but not "working"?

    Take a DVD player for example. Mine's rated for "14 W". Does that mean it's going to draw 14 watts at maximum, or does it mean something else? How much energy would it be expected to draw if it were on, but not playing a DVD, or using any of its other functions? Thanks!

    Can I run TV cases/chassis through the dishwasher?

    Alright, I'll probably just let it sit in the sink for a while, since our "hot" water doesn't even come close to boiling.

    Can I run TV cases/chassis through the dishwasher?

    I think I'm going to wash them by hand...I just read something on Phthalates being released from the plastic when it's put under such harsh conditions. Any opinions on that? http://groovygreenlivin.com/never-put-plastic-dishwasher/

    Can I run TV cases/chassis through the dishwasher?

    I've got two very dirty CRT televisions that I've taken a liking to, but they're just so filthy that no (reasonable) amount of rubbing alcohol and q-tips can clean. Can I run their plastic cases in the dishwasher without them suffering any sort of chemical damage? Thanks!

    How to hook-up a "antenna" only tv to modern electronics?

    I'm going to be using it with a Gamecube and Xbox 360. I already have a modulator, but I have no way to connect it to the tv. I'm going up to a cabin that doesn't have any tv's, and I can't be bothered to sit on a boat and fish all day, so it's going to be all that I've got.

    How to hook-up a "antenna" only tv to modern electronics?

    I have an old Zenith tv that only has the screw terminals for an antenna. What kind of converter would I need to hook it up to a normal RF cable? Thanks!

    Camera with native recording resolution higher than DVD, will the recording look worse?

    Thanks Solandri! I have the 637 hooked up from triax to a CCU, which then outputs to Component. I currently don't have a computer than can accept component (technically RGB BNC), but I'll see what I can do. Thanks!

    Camera with native recording resolution higher than DVD, will the recording look worse?

    I have a Sony DXC-637, and I've connected it to a dvd recorder, but from what I understand, DVD is about 720x480p. However, the DXC-637 captures roughly 800 horizontal lines, and I assume the vertical lines will be larger than 480 as well. Will the recording look worse on DVD since it has to...

    How to record computer video output to VCR/SVHS camera?

    Howdy! I would like to record my ARMA III gaming onto an SVHS device. However, my camera, and VCR only accept S-Video or Composite input. Can I run a second video card with S-video output into my VCR or camera to record? Any alternative suggestions would be appreciated, too! Windows 8.1...

    What video card for 1360x768 resolution gaming?

    Uh, heh. Another gentlemen on ebay sold me a Radeon HD 6850 for sixty-odd dollars. It's a deal I couldn't refuse. Here's a link to the auction in case you guys don't believe me: http://www.ebay.com/itm/271449807945?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
