home theater?
i have a record player hook up in aux my question is can I also hook a tape deck to my home theater?
i will like to buy a tape deck for my home theater but i don't whant to unhook my record player. can i plug it in a different jack.
You may have noticed that your turntable hooked up to the AUX input required you to have to turn the volume control on your receiver way up to match the volume level of other sources hooked up to it. That is because the signal level coming off a record player is much lower than any other standard source.
See if you have a PHONO input on the receiver and switch your turntable wires over to that instead - it should greatly improve the sound quality.
The answer to your question is "Yes!" First, you must determine if you have a spare input/output set of jacks on your receiver. Sometimes, when there is no TAPE imput, or that one is already in use, you can find a spare VCR 2 (or VCR B) input/output jack-set to use.
Remember though, that most receivers require the selection of a special button or switch for the TAPE MONITOR input to be heard, and this setting often overrides any other input you wish to hear, requiring a separate button-push to de-activate the TAPE MONITOR input. Its confusing, I know, and I've had so many panicked phone calls over the years from clients who didn't know why they couldn't access other sources all of a sudden: it was because the TAPE input was selected, effectively locking them out of any other source until they disengaged the TAPE input first.
Sheesh! What were those propeller heads thinking all those years?!
Good luck! Thanks for the question.

The Epson PowerLite S5 is affordable, lightweight, and consistently top of the line. It comes with a 2 year warranty and contains all of the necessities required of a high quality, maximum performance home theater projector.
While the Epson PowerLite S5 is much like its predecessors, the S5 is lighter and brighter than any model before it. This packs a punch in the home theater industry as it provides more bang for your buck. If you're interested in cheap, badly made projectors than there's plenty of other brands out there, but Epson builds its products to stand the test of time while performing its upmost duty to the viewer by providing a smooth, enriched image all the way through.
Many projectors (and businesses in general) tend to come up short of their claims when tested, but Epson has generously outdone themselves when it comes to the PowerLite S5. It is dramatically brighter than what they claim it to be and exceeds expectations when it comes to performance. The Epson PowerLite S5 comes with a more compact remote control than the S4 for sleeker design and comfort.
While the Epson S5 is a wonderful projector, it comes with less resolution capabilities than most modern day computers. The projector will compress anything it can to make up for this, but small objects in the film will appear slightly smaller than what they're supposed to be. If you can afford it, a higher resolution projector would present you with a better overall quality but those with a limited budget can expect just as good quality as any other SVGA projector. Most Epson PowerLite S5's are sold to schools and small businesses and are the preferred projector for the education system due to the high performance you receive compared to the low price.
The S5 is a lot quiter than many home theater projectors with only 35 db of sound with the lamp on maximum output. When the lamp is in low power mode the noise level drops to 28 db which is extremely quiet. In a small room you will definitely be able to hear some amount of noise coming from the projector, but it won't be so bad that you'll have to scream just to be heard. You should find the noise to be more of an observation rather than an annoyance.
