 4K is a screen resolution. It's 3840 by 2160P. There are new TVs that will
do it
 and PC monitors too.

Podcast On the Tecsun PL-660 Multi Band World Radio

2014-05-21 Thread Dane Trethowan
Hi!

I've started on a Podcast/Demo of this radio and it will be ready by this time 
next week, I feel I know enough about the radio now to be able to give an 
informed description and demonstration for those who are interested however, I 
will not be discussing the topic of memory presets.

The PL-660 has 2,000 of these, the Pl-880 has 2,500, the Sangean ATS909X 370 
and so it goes on.

I don't use memory locations myself on radios any longer, the methods each 
multi band radio use for setting memories is different for each case and I'm 
getting sick of trying to remember what steps are needed for each set, its 
easier to remember fequency values and just type them on the keypad and most 
multi band radios available these days at least have a keypad in a calculator 
arrangement for the typing of frequency information etc.

The only exception to this rule I know of is the CC SW radio From CCrane and if 
you're looking at that particular radio for its memory presets then forget it, 
its by far the worst I've come across in all my time of working with radio 
sets, the memory presets available - 10 for each band - are not overwhelming by 
any means but getting to them is a challenge to anyone without sight, one 
button cycles through them.

I'll let the list know when the demo is ready.

RE: is it worth upgrading to PowerDVD 14?

2014-05-21 Thread Hamit Campos
I too want to get DVD Audio Extractor. I love extracting the audio speaker
by speaker to put it in real life turms. I know the software says all 6
chanals but your average person won't get what in living heck are audio
chanals. So why it matters is because each channel is representing each
speaker in either a 5.1 system, or a full 7.1 surround sound system.

Portable AirPlay Audio systems

2014-05-21 Thread Dane Trethowan
Hi!

Up until now I thought that Bose was the only company offering a portable audio 
AirPlay speaker system with its Soundlink Air and Soundtouch models.

I've since found another company offering a portable audio/AirPlay speaker 
system, look for iHome and you'll discover that this company offers a whole 
range of audio accessaries for iPhones and the like, airPlay, Bluetooth etc.

I plan to buy the iHome Rechargeable AirPlay system at some stage, the Bose is 
excellent but I'm a bit hesitant to take it outside for obvious reasons, just a 
superb piece of equipment and I want it to stay that way smile.

The iHome unit is smaller and gets some good reviews, sound quality is decent 
it seems.

I'll let the list know further details when I purchase the iHome system.

Just curious about this problem.
Have you checked in the Program files to see if Windows Media Player 
is in there?
If so, open the file and find the .exe file, press the applications 
key, down arrow to make shortcut,click on that and it should put it 
on desktop. Then click on that shortcut and see what happens.

If not in Program Files...gl.
Hope  this thought  you already know about and have tried.
