Here are some more information for Auxiliary Input:
You have several options to convert VHS to DVD. Let's look at them one by one and then you'll be ready to choose the one that's best for you.
Combo Units
If you own a combination DVD and VCR player/recorder, available almost any place where electronics are sold, it's almost painless to pop in the VHS tape and a blank DVD, press a few buttons and directly record the old tape to a shiny new DVD disc. (A slight variant on this method is to connect your VCR to a separate DVD recorder unit.) If you don't need to modify the video at all (editing, adding chapters and custom menus), this method is the easiest and most direct.
Using a Video Camera
Just about any video camera (camcorder) can serve as the tool to help you copy directly from your old VCR into a digital format. Usually it just requires hooking up a cable (may need to be purchased separately) from the VCR's Video Out port (the red, white, yellow connectors) to the Video In port on the camera and pressing a few buttons. Each camera works a bit differently, so follow the instructions in your video camera's manual for recording from an auxiliary input. This is a slow process because it is a re-recording of what is on the tape to the new DVD format, but it is fairly simple and requires no additional hardware if you already own a video camera.
Using a Black Box
Special devices like DVD Xpress or Instant DVD from ADSTech make it easy to transfer directly from VHS tape to a DVD disc. Basically, this is an external device that takes the place of the video camera in the previous scenario. You connect the VCR to the device with a standard red/white/yellow cable and then connect the device to your computer with a USB cable. These devices may be more cost effective than a video camera (about US$100) and a little easier to use.
More Geeky Solutions
Other options exist, for those interested in all the technical bells and whistles of video transfer, conversion and compression. Check out BitYard.com for a point-by-point, nearly human explanation of using an MPEG-2 capturing device that transfers and compresses the video to a smaller file size.
What Hardware and Software Do I Need?
Most computers sold in the last few years (Windows or Mac) will have the basic system requirements needed for dealing with the digital version of your VHS recording. You should have a Pentium 4 or higher, 1GB or more of RAM and at least 10GB of hard drive space available.
Oh, and a DVD burner of course, and a stack of blank DVD discs. Some computers have combination CD/DVD drives, which may or may not be able to burn a DVD. Don't assume that because you can burn a CD, you can also burn a DVD. Consult the documentation if you're not sure. If you need a DVD burner, the external USB-connected models are very easy to connect.
Once you capture the images on your computer, you can use movie editing programs such as Windows MovieMaker, QuickTime or iMovie to manipulate the video as desired, add subtitles, chapters, etc. Also check out VideoHelp.com for excellent video editing software and tutorials with wonderful step-by-step instructions.
The Low-Tech Solution
A final option for those who don't care to dirty their hands with wires, bits and bytes is a service bureau. Many services offer to receive your VHS tapes by mail and return it with a DVD equivalent. One example is homemoviedepot.com. For anywhere from under $20 to a lot more (for damaged tapes) they can walk you through the preparation process and help you get the tapes to them for conversion.
How Long Do DVDs Last?
All that I've read indicates the expected longevity of dye-based DVD discs is anywhere from 20 to 250 years. Some formulations (notably phthalocyanine) are more stable and last longer, so look for those when purchasing DVD discs. However, many manufacturers don't list this on the packaging; so just be aware that some of the el-cheapo DVD discs may last just a few years, and buy quality name-brand discs.
There have been some confusing reports published recently, notably the claim by a guy from IBM Germany that CD and DVD discs will last only 2-5 years. This report has been WIDELY criticized and so far I haven't seen ANYONE come out in support of it. Nonetheless, popular news media (online and offline) trumpet it as fact and then mass confusion ensues...
As far as I'm concerned, the National Institute of Standards and Technology's report on CD/DVD Care & Handling is the most authoritative and accurate source of information on the subject of CD/DVD life expectancy. In that report, they say:
...there is consensus that, under recommended storage conditions, CD-R, DVD-R, and DVD+R discs should have a life expectancy of 100 to 200 years or more; CD-RW, DVD-RW discs should have a life expectancy of 25 years or more.
The useful life span of CD and DVD discs is affected by temperature, humidity, exposure to light and day-to-day use. So keep your DVDs in a cool, dry place, avoid direct exposure to sunlight, and they should last for several decades.

Tips for Buying Guitar Amps
A guitar amp is one of the accessories you will have to possess if you are serious about your playing an electric guitar. A guitar amp increases the volume of your guitar and is a must have if you are making public performances. Guitar Amps also allows you to modify the tone by emphasizing or de-emphasizing frequencies and adding special electronic effects.
The amplifier works in two stages. The first one is preamplifier stage which amplifies the voltage of the signal from the guitar. The preamplifier stage allows electronic effects like distortion, reverb, and chorus and controls like graphic equalizers. The second one is power amplifier stage which produces a higher current for the speaker.
There are certain things that need to be taken into consideration while buying a Guitar Amp, particularly an acoustic type.
- Construction: Guitar amps may either use tubes or transistors. Amps with transistors are cheaper and are likely to last longer. Amps with tubes produce better sound. However, they tend to burn out and need to be replaced. Guitar Amps with tubes may also distort the signal when pushed too hard.
- Noise: When you buy a guitar amp, one of the things that you need to look out for is the sound production. A clear sound is desirable. There should not be any hiss or crackle. The guitar amps should not produce sounds when they are not being used. They should also have basic controls like bass, volume and treble, reverb feature and an auxiliary input. This auxiliary input will enable you to connect a CD or an mp3 player to the amplifier.
- Speakers: Speakers are separated or combined. The combination design contains the amplifier and the speakers in one cabinet and hence is favorable for transportation. You can also opt for a separated type that has the amplifier placed on the top of the speaker cabinet. This design is favorable if there are many speakers. You may also opt for acoustic guitar amps that have headphone jacks. This will allow you to listen to the guitar without disturbing other people.
You can choose from a wide range of amps that include hard rock style guitar amplifier and acoustic amplifiers. Your choice of amplifier will depend on your personal needs, however, always make sure you are well informed. You can always buy amps through the net, and various websites are designed to help buyers choose the right amp.

If I connect a TV into a Stereo's Auxiliary Input, will the sound come through the stereo's speakers?
I want to buy a stereo with an auxiliary input function. My only question is, does it work with a television? Like if I get a connection cable and put it into the television's headphone speakers outlet and connect the other end to the stereo's auxiliary input, would it work?
the answer to that is a yes if your tv also has right and left output rca jacks and the receiver has right and left rca input jacks you could go that way
