Theft Prevention

Jesse James is getting anxious about the theft of all his gear after his neighbors got burgled. He wanted to know if Kensington style locks on laptops were a solid method to deter would be thieves. Short answer is no. While the locks used by the Kensington system would prevent theft by the less ambitious they're actually quite easy to cut through using standard lock cutters making them easy pickings for seasoned thieves. The ultimate answer is data security since what you'll miss most is the data on the laptop less than the machine itself, plus renters insurance to cover the cost of a replacement.

What is HDMI Passthrough?

Adam had a question about HDMI passthrough. What is it and should it affect his purchase of a Sony STR-DH710 AV receiver? Typically HDMI passthrough meant that a AV receiver would not be able to pickup and use the audio carried within the cable. Rather it would pass the signal unmolested to the TV acting very much like an HDMI switcher. Adam was also curious about the Sony STR-DH710 and would it's passthrough allow him to watch TV from a cable box that was running HDMI to the receiver first and then to his TV without having to turn on the receiver first. Thankfully Adam doesn't have to worry since the Sony AV receiver will offer that feature standard.
