    Please Read Before Posting: FAQ About Ranger A/V

    Hey guys, lately I have been noticing an influx of threads about topics which have been
    covered several times before. This thread will be an open link to past RPS threads and
    general links that pertain to Ranger A/V or A/V in general. If you have a link to a thread
    or article which covers a frequently asked about topic, please post it here, and hopefully
    this will cut down on the number of reposts. I'll get the ball rolling:
