Remote Codes for Monster Game Surround Sound

I recently set up my old Monster-PG-SSGS-500-Surround-Sound system up in my living room and I can't find the remote code for it. Monster isn't on the brand list, would it be under something else? I can't find it anywhere on google either.Thanks

How to exit full screen on my computer screen when watching Direct TV

When I am watching something live on my computer it goes into full screen and there is no way to exit so that I can see the menu bar again. There used to be a little arrow in the upper left section of the screen that allowed me to go back to the guide page but that has disappeared.

Question

The problem may not be the cable, but the input logic on the TV. Don't spend lots of money on a cable thinking all that money means a better cable. Monster brand cables are famous for both their high price and their marginally acceptable quality.

Receiver/DVR defective?

I am getting this message quite frequently now. It only happens when I am watching something recorded.  None of the controls work when this message appears and I have to reboot the receiver/DVR. Anyone else experienced this?

I forgot to add we also have Monster cables that run from the TV into the VCR.  Not sure if that matters or not.

Plus many times after the interactive pops up and after you exit from it, you still have to hit escape or you're frozen and can't change channels. I imagine this is very confusing to older customers who can't figure out why they can't change channels

It says I have to have a city to watch. I hate it. Every time I watch the weather, it pops up and aggrav

That's good info on the receivers. The Monster cables are not better than other manufacturer's of the same rating. It's impossible for any HDMI cable to provide a higher quality than any other. The signal is digital. It either works fine or shows dro

Proper receiver for 3D

I first decided to try 3D back in September. One thing I found out is that the jump is very expensive. I had a 2008 model Mitsubishi 73" DLP. I started out by buying the adapter kit and dlink glasses. I then found out that in order to use HDMI passthrough you had to have a receiver with HDMI 1.4. So
