I'm just about to buy a Sony SAWM40, which is supposed to be a good BUDGET sub. I know you guys are laughing since yours are all like $800+. But still, about $200 is my budget for now. Is it possible to use that same money to build a sub that performs better than the Sony? If it is possible...

I'm thinking of ordering a Toshiba 42h81 from Onecall.com an authorized dealer. The price is right and the shipping is included. My only worry is that RPTV's are delicate creatures...if I have a problem with it, will I have to ship it back to Onecall or can I take it to a local Toshiba dealer...

When you get your RP62 fired up, could you let us know how it is...I'm debating between it and the RP56.

In case it's still available, are you still sticking to pick-up only?

I thought it was bad enough trying to decide between the Toshiba 3750/4700 and Panny RP56. I finally decided on the RP56 (which I can't get locally), when I discovered the RP62 at Circuit City for the same price as online ($179)! But...is it at least as good is my question. I know it's new...

I'm still looking into the Panasonic RP56 as my new DVD player, but have been haunted by the idea of it having a flicker bug. How bad is this bug and does it show up often? (Also, in what movies have you noticed it?)

I hear so much about how great certain DVD's sound with the DTS soundtrack. Is this really true? If so, what makes a DTS soundtrack sound better than a DD 5.1 track? Can you hear more detail or what?

I'm going through an intense mental struggle choosing between a few DVD players...one of them has zoom and the other doesn't, but I don't know just how important this feature is. 1. Do you use zoom often? 2. What do you need it for? 3. How do you get by if your player isn't equipped...

Is there any way to order from K's online? (or at least show what their shipping charge would be to make the Sears.com price-match people happy)

I don't have a DVD player yet, so I can't use AVIA. What basic calibrations should I do on my Toshiba 42h81 until I get the player?

Can the vibrations of a subwoofer loosen the guns in a RPTV? I'm considering placing a Sony SAWM40 next to a Toshiba 42h81.

What are some subs that are equal to or greater in performance compared to the Sony SAWM40, but that I may be able to find used or on special for a price that is similar to the SAWM40 (which is about $160)?

I'd been enjoying my new DirectTV system for about a week when I noticed that pure red on the screen resulted in the "jaggies" typical of the chroma bug on DVD players. Has anyone else noticed this on their satellite system? (In case the satellite receiver makes a difference, I'm using a...

I may sound like I'm from the stone-age, but because of a limited budget, I'll have a RPTV before I get a DVD player. Are there any basic but important adjustments I can make without having a calibration disk that will hold me over until I get a DVD player?
