I'll have to check my work schedule. I work weekends every 5-6 weeks. I'll also have to check my wife's schedule as we have a two year old son. She works part-time evenings but only gets a 4 week schedule so go ahead and plan and I'll see if I can make it the that time. Tony
Does anyone have a this recorded that could send me a copy. I was about one hours drive from home helping my brother-in-law calibrate his new system with Avia. I figured we'd be done and I would be home by 9:30. By 8:00 I knew I wouldn't make it home so I called my wife. She wasn't home either...
I have a B.S. in biology and now work in the clinical chemistry lab at The University of Michigan Hospitals. Not what I had in mind as a student but it pays the bills and all my time away from work is my own. (Well except for my family's share of my time, which leaves me with a few minutes...
It drives me crazy when people call their computer case a hard drive. As if that were the only thing in there. I don't know if it's just the people I work with or if it is also common other places, but I just want to smack 'em when they say it.

Make sure all the screws on the back of the set are tight. My first 250XBR buzzed when the power was turned on. I returned it and my second set made the same sound only much less. After a service visit for other reasons the buzz was gone I the only thing he did was open up the back and looked...
I recently bought the Epson C80 color printer. I had intended on buying the 890 Photo printer, but happened to be in CompUSA when the Epson rep was there. He seemed very knowledgable about all the brands. All have printers that will deliver excellent results on the photo papers. However...
I just got mine on Saturday. It is wonderful. None of the problems typical of the Sony Wegas. I had a XBR250 for a year and a half that had all the flaws. I can't find anything wrong with this set so far. Highly recommended from me!
I was so relieved when I stopped by my local A/V shop last night. There was a couple in looking at speakers. This shop has several large audition rooms with 2-3 brands in each room. I just happened to walk in as the guy asked about Bose. I thought oh-no, here we go. But the salesman said...
My family and I (wife and 15 month old) will be driving from Ann Arbor, MI to Las Vegas to visit some friends in Oct. We are planning to sightsee along the way. Going out on I-70 and comming back I-40. That way we can see a lot of the National Parks in Colorado, Utah, Arizon, Nevada...
I just replaced my 36XBR250 with a 36XBR450. This set looks great! I was never happy with all the problems my XBR250 had and the XBR450 is nearly flawless. No uneven brightness, no geometry problems, nothing I can see. I thought it would be nice to have something bigger, but that would mean...
It was the cable. I looked at the connector and found a broken wire.
Does anyone know what Monster Cable's warrenty is. I'll replace it with a Bettercables S-video if I have to.

My XBR450 was just delivered and all 3 S-video jacks are not working.
Video 1 -- no picture at all
Video 2 -- red/green picture fluctuating and scrolling
horizontally
Video 3 -- same as Video 2
Any ideas?
I think I'll call to exchange it unless someone knows something simple is...
Here's a little more info about VCR setup. My earlier post was a little rushed.
Go to the main menu and select System Setup, then choose the installation menu. From there you should see VCR setup. You input a code that you can find in the manual for your brand of VCR. It should be the same...
I'm not positive if the 6000 has a IR blaster but it should. Look under VCR setup in the set-up menu to find this selection. You input the VCR code for your brand of VCR and it will test record if it is the correct code. The receiver sends out a high power IR signle that will bounce around...
Kevin,
I'm not sure if it is getting worse. It just seems to be more noticable now. When I exchanged the first set, this one seemed much better. So after a year of hoping someone would find a fix for the problem, maybe it just bothers me more. Anyway, since thet were looking at the set, I...
I bought my 36xbr250 from Circuit City early last year and had the uneven brightness. They exchanged it the next week. The second set was better but I decided to buy the three year in home service contract, which I don't normally do. I glad I did. Either the set is getting worse or I'm just...
In a town the size of Richmond there must be other A/V shops or appliance stores that you could check out. They would most likely have a couple of brands at different price points or at least one brand with two or three different levels of quality. I bought some Tributaries here in Ann Arbor...
