Ok, here's what I found.
1. Putting both the receiver and Mac on the same outlet did nothing to eliminate the hum. Neither did shortening the cable from 15 ft. to 1 ft.
2. I foun…
you should try using a cable that has the shield only tied to the mac's ground connection and not to the stereo's RCA shields (but make sure the shield is continuous throughout the…
I've got a Dual 450. I wanna get the Retail Radeon card and plug S-video into my big screen TV that's hooked up with a Kenwood Dolby D. Would make for good parties.

You can't get Dolby 5.1 with normal CDs anway, unless you don't want the subwoofer. The 5.1 uses a seperate channel just for the subwoofer. If it doesn't send out the signal, it …

I would be very interested (and others may as well) in hearing about your impressions of your new Cinema Display. I've just posted my observations to this Forum under a topi…
I've had no problems with my Cinema Display. No bad or stuck pixels, mars on the screen or anything.
The only two things that I've found even slight disapointment is:
A) Most gam…
My cinema display is very very nice. I had not seen one in person erson before and was a little surprised to see how BIG it really is. No probems at all.
heh heh. cinema display.
I haven't had a change to play with one myself, or see one in action personally, but what I did see of the cinema display was quite humorous.
I'm current…
A local Mac-only dealer has a 22" Cinema Display on display. They were running DVDs and the 'Mission Impossible' trailer over and over. I was impressed by the brightness, not so …
Has anyone succesfully burned CD's on the DVD-RAM drive that came with the G's? Toast 4 Deluxe does not work for me. It won't recognize a compatible drive. In addition, after upgra…
Toast 4.0 is not compatible with MacOS 9. Toast 4.0 update is supposed to resolve MacOS issues. The 4.01 update is not yet available,

All currently available DVD-RAM drives CANNOT write to CD/CD-R/CD-RW/DVD-R/DVD-RW/DVD+RW. They are only good as a 5.4 GB floppy disk (and to read DVDs and CD's) that the Finder kno…
Let me see if I understand. The current DVD-RAM drive in my G4 will never be able to burn CD's (be it CD-R, CD-RW, music CD, etc.)? The full functionallity of the drive is to read …
That's essentially correct!
That part about Toast 4 not working with OS 9 is debatable though. Mine works just fine. I think it has a problem mounting images but I don't use th…
Toast CD Reader extension from version 3.5.7 also will not load on my G4-450mhz. I have an APS external CD-ROM Burner (Yamaha 400) and at first I could not startup the G4 with the …
Hi... this is an old topic, but I was wondering some of the same things as I will be buying a G4 in the next two months (unfortuntely, I don't think I can wait until July, in case …
The Que! DVD-RAM drive apparently can write CD-R as well as DVD-RAM. The built-in DVD-RAM on G4s can NOT write CD-R disks. It can read just about any format though. The Finder us…
MacAddict reviewed the Que! CD-R drive as an absolute piece of crap. The problem was the driver/other software that kept crashing the test machine. Any comments? Same for DVD-RA…
Try re-reading my post. The CD-R is a different piece of hardware. I eval'd a Que! CD-R and it does suck, but you're comparing apples and oranges.
