    Sears Done did me Wrong

    Well for one Sears is a big rip off, try using there price match. Circuit City will match Sears price & give you 110% of the difference back. Circuit City can be a pain to but you can get it. I got a Zenith C34W23 for $1798 with a price match.

    How do I disable SVM on Toshiba 27A42 ?

    Reason I thought the Z View might be SVM toggle switch was in the test of it in Home Theater magazine they said that SVM was deafeatable in the user menu, I emailed them about it & they said theirs had it unless they confused it with the Z View.

    How do I disable SVM on Toshiba 27A42 ?

    I have adjusted the picture 58 brightness, 35 contrast, 20 sharpness. When I toggle the Z Picture to on the picture gets softer & slighter darker then with it off. Considering I have the settings low it should do the opposite.

    How do I disable SVM on Toshiba 27A42 ?

    How about turning off the SVM on the Zenith C34W23. Set has a "Z Picture" on/off switch but don't know if that is it. Also does not have 3:2 pulldown, is that really a disadvantage.

    Denon, Rotel or Marantz

    For home theater I just replaced my B&K Ref 20 with an Outlaw 950 & could not be more happier. The B&K was more laid back & can hear slight sounds in movies with the Outlaw that was not present with the B&K. I am using an ATI 1505 with Klipsch Ref 20's C-7 & C-6 surronds.

    B&K Ref50 Prepro

    I have the B&K Ref 20 & I see by the specs posted here the new 50 will weigh in at 10 lbs. around same as my 20. Just curious how come B&K's weigh about 1/2 the other pre pros out there.

    B&K Ref50 Prepro

    Just curious, if you liked the sound of B&K so much why did you go from the B&K 307 to the Denon 5803.

    Outlaw 950?

    My B&K Ref 20 needed a firmware update, had the connector on the back of it but no one but B&K had the equipment to do it so it had to go back to them anyway.

    Outlaw 950?

    I replaced by B&K Ref 20 with the Outlaw 950 & could not be happier. I can hear things on soundtracks I missed on the B&K. The B&K upgrade is more hype then real. To upgrade the 20 to 30 you get the guts but no THX & some other things missing for $900, $1 more then the Outlaw just to upgrade...

    Mitsubishi WS-65311 VS. WS-65411???

    I bought the WS55411 last week & could not be happier. I paid $100 over the price of the 311. I got it for $2278 which I hope was a good deal. The differences I noticed was slightly bigger speakers, 5 element lens instead of 4 & the Quad focus thing.

    Subwoofer Setup

    Setting up my subwoofer, I noticed that the Monster subwoofer cable has a connection to plug into both red & white connectors. The manual of the sub says that if pre amp has only one output use the white one of sub. Should I use the adapter that comes with it & connect into both.

    Help with receiver/pre-pro decision please

    Take a look at the Outlaw 950, I just replaced my B&K Ref 20 with it for movies with my Mitsubishi HDTV & dvd's. I like the sound better with the Outlaw then the B&K. I hear slight sounds I missed with the Ref 20.

    I bought the studio set just before they went under, what really great speakers. I called the factory for spare parts when I found out but when I called back the phone was out. Wanted to get some parts just in case.

    Outlaw or Sony

    The upgradeability on the B&K line sounds great on paper. I called to ask about the upgrade on my Ref 20. Was $900 but no THX. For $1995 I could get a brand new Ref 30. I had a B&K AV500011 amp that continously blew out speakers in 1 channel, they replaced the amp board when it toasted. It then...

    Outlaw or Sony

    I had the B&K Ref 20 & replaced it with the Sony TAE-9000ES. The Sony had much more detail then the B&K. Not knocking the B&K but for what it costs it is not giving its money worth.

    Is it safe to tip a Mitsu 55411 on its side?(or any RPTV for that matter)

    The way my WS55411 was delivered Saturday was had it on a dolly wheels down, he strapped it in that took it into the house on its side. So far so good, now I lowered the contrast to about 25% & brightness to about %40, 0 on the sharpness. Looks like a movie now.
