the drive performs fine, but the rattling/vibrating noise is kind of obnoxious. i only have one dvd, so i can't test it with another dvd. i tested it with multiple cds, and that s…

yes it is likely the media or i would not have said so the world is less than perfect and makers of media are an example of this

>>yes it is likely the media or i would not have said so sorry about that; i didn't mean to insinuate anything. i just re-read the post, and it came across poorly. i…

Yes, and it is a problem I have experienced with every drive I have used that is faster than 8x. Lon is right on the mark that some discs are not properly balanced, or improperly m…

For some strange reason, when dialing out via my bulit in 56k modem, I have no sound at all.. I can tell whether I will connect at about 56k or 33k just by the way the connecting …

I remember this problem from a while back. It's a Mac OS 9 issue. On the control strip, check the sound-in module. This should look like a microphone and a faded CD beneath it. Ch…

How could one possibly complain about a lack of sound from the modem dialing? That has to be one of the more annoying sounds on God's green earth.

Some people like that sound, I suppose. I like it because I can tell what protocol the connection is using. Sometimes, I will cancel the connection if the line isn't giving me the…

seanyepez, THANKS!!!! I saw internal modem was selected but the audio "Waves" weren't next to it so I selected it again and it worked! Thanks! Now I can finally cancel if I k…

I can get my Powerbook to display the DVD movie on the TV but I can't quite figure out how to get the Audio to work... I have the cords running through the VCR and it's set to AV …

If memory serves me correctly, you can't run your lines to your TV via a VCR. They must run directly to the TV. If yours is the new Pismo it should come with an S-Video to RCA conn…

also dont forget mini plug to rca connection so you can get audio out to home entertainment system.well hope that helps. http://forums.macnn.com/cgi-bin/smile.gif

I run the audio from the headphone port on my Pismo directly to my VCR, because I have an older TV with no direct video or audio in (there's only the RF in) Unfortunately, I get th…

I think I've posted something like this on another topic, "Can't watch DVD on a TV" I think, but here goes anyway. As far as I am aware S-video only uses 4 pins: 1 - Ground (LUM.)…

Well I have watched many DVDs with my Pismo connected through my VCR, absolutely no problems at all. The composite/SVHS output of the Pismo does not include audio, so you have to …

Some pixels won't respond to massaging. Sorry!
