There is a send away coupon in RoTK EE to get the box for the extended editions. Just fill it out and send $4 Can to them. Andrew

I had similar problems with cats and my speakers. My solution was to get a squirt gun and give the cat a squirt every time it went near the speakers. After a week or so the cat did not express any interest in my speakers. Just make sure that the cat has a place to go and scratch. Now the only...

Hello, I am thinking about getting a Toshiba 36HFX73 set and have a quick question. When viewing HDTV signals I have been told that some of the channels/networks are not true 16:9 images but 4:3 :frowning: Now if this was a 16:9 set it would have the bars on the side, but since it is a 4:3 set...

Thanks for all the suggestions guys, I shall look into getting some of the B-Tech mounts locally. I like the clamping design on them as opposed to the Vogel's. Putting screws into my speakers is sort of like giving myself a root canal :D If that fails I will make some shelves to stick them up on...

I have had a fairly successfull time with a squirt gun. After a giving the cat a good squirt or 2 whenever it went near the speakers for a scratch, it soon learned that speakers are a bad thing to touch or go near. Just make sure not to hit the speakers or any electronis that are near by :wink...

Howdy eh, I am looking for the best way to mount my pair of Paradigm Mini Monitors (V2) to the back wall for my rear channels. All of the mounting brackets I have looked at either require screws to be driled into the back of the speaker (which I am afraid to do) or use a clamp to hold them in...

Here are my experiences on the rainbows. I have seen a 2x color wheel on a Yamaha projector and saw quite a few rainbows. I have recently seen a 5x color wheel on a Sharp DT 200 and did not see any rainbows. I would personally never get a projector with a 2x wheel because I found the rainbows...

Here is the dimensions on the box set: Height: 7.5" Depth: 5.75" Width: 2.5" With the pack fully folded out on both sides its 63.5 inches long, or just a bit over 5 feet long :eek: I can see trying to get the last DVD out of each end to be a bit of a problem with all that cardboard...

I have come to the conclusion that I will not be able to find an equipment rack or a DVD shelf that meets my needs. So as an alternative I am considering building them myself. I would be buying the tools that I need, and hope that some of the HTF members could help me with features that I should...

Howdy eh, I got my B5 box set today up here in Canada, so far I have watched the first and second DVD plus most of the extras on disk 6. I have run into a small problem that I hope is not a widespread issue, anyway I watched disk #2 and found out that it was not the content it should be, instead...

Go to this URL on the official Sharp site http://www.sharpusa.com/products/Typ...56,s76,00.html It has stats for both the Z90U and the DT200 (look for deatiled specs on the left side tab), the only differance between the 2 that I can tell is that the DT200 has a short throw lens while the Z90U...

The set came brand new and factory sealed, it had not been opened before it arrived. My conclusion is that whoever was doing quality control at the factory that day must have called in sick and not been there. I have since returned the set for a refund (about a month ago). I am now in the...

I did calabrate it with the Sound and Vision calibration DVD, it helped minimize the problems, but they still persisted. I do know that my TV was one of the very first ones to be sold, so it could be a bad initial batch. The problems were pretty bad, the hissing from the speakers could be easily...

Well I had my Toshiba 65HDX82 for about a week, then returned it for a refund :thumbsdown: Why do you ask? Because the speakers hissed at any volume level, there was ghosting, the geomonotry was poor, and the blacks had a bit of a green tinge. I consider myself lucky, quite a few people have...

My new 65HDX82 will be going back for a refund. Almost everything short of blowing up and catching fire has happened to mine. It has ghosting, hissing, bad geometry, and that awful new TV smell (not to mention that it did not come with a remote or manual). I have a feeling that whoever is in...

OK I might as well chime in, Pan & Scan movies drive me nuts, I can't watch a Pan & Scan movie on TV. I think the best way to get across the point of the difference between Widescreen and Pan & Scan would be to put bright orange stickers on or labels on the front of all Pan & Scan DVD releases...

Does anybody happen to know what the suggested retail prices will be on the HDX82 line in Canada? I am thinking about getting either a 57" or 65" HDX82, but I am a bit on the clueless side as to how much they will run :frowning: The end of the month can't come quick enough, now if I could just...

From what I understand all of the initial batch that Panasonic is selling in Canada is all ready spoken for by various stores and retailers and distributors. I can't wait for this unit to show up in stores, now if all the new 16:9 sets would just start showing up..... Andrew B

I might as well chime in with my 2 cents. I was at the local store yesterday (up here in Canada) and the nice salesman called his panasonic rep for me, anyway the 82 will be shipped out the middle of July and the first shipment of players is already sold out. The second shipment will be shipped...

I am in the same boat as you :) I have had my 525 since September 1999 with almost daily use and have not had any problems. I am currenly looking for a better player, I do not think that any budget player under $300 will be much of an inprovement over what you have in the way of video or audio...

The Book of the Dead made me sick too, or more like a real bad alergic reaction. My alergies kicked into high gear while I was reading the info in the book. I did not notice any headache or sore throat at the time, but I was too busy blowing holes though 3 ply Kleenex (sp?) with my big sneezes...

I thouhgt it smelled like a powerfull paint cleaner that I have in the basement. At any rate by the time I got done flipping through the pages in the book my nose would not stop running and I was blowing snot everywhere with some big sneezes. Sort of like my own zombie gore, without the blood...

I have recently upgraded all of my speakers to go with the full 7.1 setup on my Denon 3802. Anyway I went the route of Minis and ADP-370's to go with my 7's, CC-370 and PW-2200. I really liked the sound of the ADP-370 over the 170, its sort of like compairing a set of mini's to a pair of...

I have the same problem with my Motorola box. I have not found anyway to get the digital and analog to be the same volume, its kind of a piss off, but I figure its the box's fault not the 3802 (I hads the same problem with my Pioneer 309). As for the hiss I have only found it on a few channels...

I might as well spout in with my 2 cents after going from monopole to some dipoles. Anyway I recently upgraded from a pair of direct firing Mini Monitors to a set of ADP-370 Dipoles to compleate my 7.1 system of my Denon 3802. My finding with the old Mini's as side surrounds were quite...

Well here are some prices that I have seen up here in Canada in Canadian dollars. Note these prices are after talking down the price a bit with the sales people, if you walk into the store and get these all at once you should get the same deal or at least something close. Monitor 11 $1050 ...

As for compairing an SVS to a PW 2200 it depends where you live at. If you live in Canada (where the Paradigm stuff is cheaper) you can get the PW 2200 for about $500 US, where as the SVS with amp is somewhere in the $800 US range. So if you are in Canada and looking to spend about $800 US you...

I had to make the same decision about what to get for mains awhile back. I was considering between the 7's 9's and 11's. I did eventually go with the 7's, the reason why is I thouhgt the 9's were a bit more muddy sounding and not as clear as the 7's. I did find that the 9's had a bit more...

I got my 3802 for $1550 Can before the evil taxes. I have no Idea what the 4802 goes for up here.

For most stuff at night I listen at -40, but during the day when people are about and there is a lot more background noise (dishwasher, ringing phones, people talking, cats, etc..) I crank it up to about -35 to -30 or so. I also crank down the LFE by -6 on the menu thingy from its normally...
