I have a H81 Toshiba and my parents just bought a H82. Either I've forgotten how to get into service mode, or it is different on the H82 series. Can someone enlighten me on the key combination to get into service mode on the H82s? Thanks in advance.
My parents just bought a new 57H82 for Christmas. However, I couldn't get into the service menu. I tried the same steps as my H81 (mute, mute, mute and press button on front of TV) but it didn't work. Can someone fill me in on the steps to get into the service menu on the new H82s? Also...

This is a 7100 upgraded to a 7200 about 1 year ago. Perfect working condition, clean S Cards, and a second basic receiver (I think the model number is 2700). I'm upgrading to a HDTV receiver, so I don't need this...
I also experienced this problem with my first XBox that I purchased. After going through tech support with Microsoft, I purchased a DVD lense cleaner. After using the lense cleaner, things seemed to be better, but the problem started acting up again.
I then purchased SSX Tricky and put in the...
We gave them about 48 hours of continuous CD playing as an initial break in, and then continual use through out the entire testing time.
I've heard they need 200 hours for solid break in, but that just wasn't feasible for us. That may be part of the reason we felt they were bright, but I...
I'm not too concerned about the upgrade. I think the problem will be solved via STB in the future (if the standards dictate a problem).
The red push isn't difficult to fix on the HD inputs, but you have to put an inline attenuator to do it. For each input you would have to do this type of...
I had the same dilemma/decision to make as you... Ultimately I chose the Toshiba. Let me state that I was able to get dealer cost on either, so the cost factor was not an issue at all as they both cost relatively the same. The reason(s) I went with Toshiba is due to the immense tweability and...
I have not seen that particular site, but I have seen/read about how to reposition or remove the protective screen. I'm a little hesitant to do this due to a hyper black lab I have that tends to lick everything in site.
Luckily, I've just recently put up nice blinds that allow me to black...
I just received my 57h81 last Thursday. Out of the box, the picture was better than I expected but I had pretty serious geometry problems. The overall picture was offset down and to the right. I had about 2% overscan on the right and about 11% on the left. Also, I had about 8% overscan top...
I just received my 57h81 yesterday. My initial reaction was that out of the box, it looked better than I expected but obviously wasn't as detailed and sharp as my old 32" tube. The absolute first thing I did was to turn down contrast and brightness to the 30 - 40 range. Also turn down the...
We just got our Swan Diva test unit into our lab on Sunday. Their packaging is incredible! I couldn't believe how well packaged they were.
We were all very happy with the looks. We immediately hooked them up. We did notice they sounded a bit harsh a first, but after 12 hours of pumping...
We actually have another review unit from them in our test lab right now. It consists of 2 CBM-170 bookshelf speakers, 2 of their HS-200 (I think that's the model), a Center channel and a HSU VTF-2 sub.
We just received these so we haven't done much testing, but they will definitely get...
We reviewed the HTD Level III tower powered by an Onkyo 595 and the Outlaw 1050.
We are currently waiting on the arrival of the new Level III Sub so I can't comment on its performance yet. In the past, I've recommended people buy another subwoofer but the subs have gone through design...
Tyson,
The nOrh review is scheduled to be posted Aug. 8th, one week from tomorrow. Our real jobs have been requiring lots of hours, so its been tough for to get the review staff together.
We're scheduling a meeting to finalize the review this weekend, so initial review will be in my hands...
$350 is tight, but you definitely have some options out there.
For instance, what about a set of Level III Bookshelf speakers from HomeTheaterDirect.com ($199/pair) teamed with a Level III Center channel ($139). This would allow you to add a pair of their new towers later and transition the...
Energy has been very reluctant to supply us with a review unit. We've contacted them and they said they are very selective with who they let review their equipment.
It's their perogative, oh well.
A minor update on the Diva's, I did get confirmation that they will be in late next week or...
I used to be a fan and advocate of strictly monopole rear surrounds, but after stumbling onto a great deal on a pair of Mission bipolar rear speakers, I now straddle the fence.
My wife liked the looks of most of the bipolar speakers a lot more than she did a direct firing speaker, so when...
Right now, we're still getting the review units in. We are expecting several of these this week, but that probably means they won't show up until next week.
We have the nOrh 4.0 and HTD Level III Towers and Bookshelfs in the lab currently.
We are expecting the following...

Just got word that we can expect a set of Diva 2.1s, a pair of R-3s and a C-3. This could get very interesting...

We've been talking with Swan about getting a set of Diva's, but these things usually take a month to work out the kinks. I haven't heard anything from them in a week or so, if I don't hear from them soon I'll give them another ring.
I think we'll end up getting a set of review units from them...
