::Shopping for electronics ::

  BUY BETTER QUALITY OF WHAT YOU LISTEN MOST
    When buying a car audio system, keep in mind of what format you listen the most; this will assist greatly in the decision of which in-dash receiver to get. If most of your music favorites are on CDs, consider adding a multiple CD changer. If it is Satellite Stereo, the receiver must be Serius or Xm ready, or upgradeable.

  CHOOSE MAGNETICALLY-SHIELDED SPEAKERS

 

  Unless your TV is a LCD or a plasma monitor, keep in mind that the speakers positioned next to the TV need to be factory magnetically-shielded. Magnetically-unshielded speakers can damage the TV screen.

  MATCH THE SPEAKERS TO THE RECEIVER
    It is of utmost importance to match in power handling the speakers to the Audio/Video receiver or the receivers performance may sound lower than expected; also, this may just shorten the life span of the speakers.
    ::Cutting on expenses  ::

  USING PUBLIC DOMAIN MUSIC
    When desiring to use a popular song for a video, but your budget does not allow you to spend that amount of money for copyrighted music, then consider using the same song from public domain music.

  RECORD AUDIO IN TWO SOUND LEVELS
  To get the best sound possible, and if the video camera allows it, record two audio tracks separately; one at normal audio level and another at lower level. If the first audio track is too high, the second lower track may be of better quality.
