I have a Xenta VT-S205 1080p upscaling DVD player. It was purchased in December 2013 for £15 from Ebuyer. It hasn't been used in many years. I plugged it in today (via. HDMI) into a Samsung UE46ES5500 TV (a 2012 model). I've also tried two other HD TVs. All DVDs appear extremely pixelated...

I have an Android-based stereo unit in my car but there is no ambient light sensor included so at night, the screen can be a bit blinding. Up to now, I have placed a widget on the home screen that lets me adjust the brightness but manually doing it is a small chore. Does anyone know of an app...

Whilst selling it on eBay (as broken), someone messaged me and suggested I reset the main microprocessor by pressing and holding the Tone Control and Straight buttons whilst pressing the power button. It actually slightly came to life! It made a 'buzz' sound, then click sound, and both only...

We've checked the fuse inside the plug and the fuse inside the AV receiver itself. Also, none of the capacitors appears to be damaged. Any other ideas?

I currently have a Nikon D3300, which I really like. I mainly use the single-point AF feature, due to the excellent "depth of field" effect it gives on photos. However, the camera is too large and heavy for my trips abroad. I am hoping for some advice/suggestions with the following...

I am looking for an entry-level replacement for my 2010 Nikon D3100. I will not be keeping my lens, so I'll be buying a camera with an included standard lens. I believe my options (correct me if I'm wrong) are: ■Nikon D3300, Jan 2014, £275 ■Canon M10, Oct 2015, £290 ■Canon 1300D, Mar 2016...

I have a Samsung UE32H5000 TV. The optical output of the TV only outputs stereo sound. Therefore, I need to use HDMI if I want 5.1 output. I have a set a Logitech Z-506 5.1 PC speakers which does not have HDMI input. I want to connect the the speakers to the TV. I am aware I'll need to buy...
