My 51HW40 was delivered Saturday. I put it in Pro mode and have done no other adjustments. It looks great! DVD's are awesome and cable is better than I expected. Great out of the box performance. I do have Avia, but have not felt any urgency to use it on this set yet. I did the flash focus, but...
You are right and they must have figured it out. I just called and asked for the price. It is $2999. Somebody must have printed the wrong price on the sign. I wonder if they would have honored the price on the sign last night?
Dan,
I went to my local Best Buy last night here in Lewisville, TX (Dallas Area). The sign on the Pioneer said $2499. It said something about a $500 rebate in smaller letters. I didn't pay too much attention to it. I am not sure if it was an instant rebate or mail-in rebate or what. It...
I have smaller Axioms Than the package you mentioned. I have the M22Ti's, QS4's, VP100 and EP175. This is my first surround system, so I don't have much experience evaluating speakers. However, I think they sound great!
If your were in Dallas I would let you come and see/hear them. If there...
I am considering the following RPTV's:
Sony KP-51HW40
Pioneer SD-533HD5
Toshiba 50H81
Panasonic PT-47WX49
I went to CC and BB last night to look at the Sony because of good reviews recently, but I wasn't too impressed - mostly because of bad feeds to these sets in both stores. Plus, at...
I found and fixed the problem. Both LEDs on the HTS-1000 are now on.

Well, that home owner was me, but it wasn't a light...
Well, I still do not know what the problem is. First, I switched off the breaker and inspected all 8 plugs. I took the cover off and unscrewed the plugs from the boxes. The ground wire on each plug was connected good. The ground wire went to a wire nut that connected this pigtail to the...
The HTS-1000 is basically my ground tester, so I know most of the plugs in that room are not grounded. There may be one or two I didn't check last night. So, it would seem the ground is disconnected some where between the breaker and the first plug - whichever one that is. Or if there is one...
Ron,
Maybe our units operate are differently. My manual says both LEDs are supposed to be on. And they both do come on when I plug it into any other circuit in my house. It figures the only circuit in my house with a problem is where my home theater is ...
The HTS-1000 does not have a red LED. It has 2 green LEDs for 'Protection On' and 'Ground OK'. The red switch also lights up when switched on. Both green LEDs are supposed to be on to indicate everything is working.
I am thinking I have a loose ground wire in this circuit. Maybe at the...
I just hooked up my home theater to a Monster HTS-1000 power center and the "Ground OK" LED did not come on. So, I unplugged everything and took the HTS-1000 to different plugs around the house. It looks like the only circuit in my house that is not grounded properly is the one where my home...
I recently purchased an Axiom speaker package. I have M22Ti's for the mains, QS4's for the surounds, a VP100 center, and an EP175 sub. This is my first 5.1 system so I don't have anything to compare them to, but I like them. They are a Canadian company - http://www.axiomaudio.com
I purchased...
I also recently purchased an Axiom package from Marc at Audioshop (see link in Rick's post). I have M22Ti's for the mains, QS4's for the surounds, a VP100 center, and an EP175 sub. This is my first 5.1 system so I don't have anything to compare them to, but I like them. I spent just over...
I don't remember seeing any mention of the Yamaha 5490 here before. I just ran across this this receiver at Ecost. There were no Yamaha's with DPLII when I recently bought my Onkyo 595.
For you Yamaha fans, here is link to the 5490 for $560: http://www.ecost.com/ecost/ecce/shop...sp?dpno=963272
I have been thinking about buying a Philips extended warranty from this place: http://www.sonic.net/soundscape/delta.html
It looks like for a projection HDTV 16x9
Here is the web page for my sub: http://axiomaudio.com/products.cfm?productID=EP175
There is no description of the connections. I have a manual at home, but it is not very descriptive either.
Here is my question to Axiom and their response...
I have an Onkyo 595 receiver. It has a single PRE OUT for a sub. My sub (Axiom EP175) has left and right line inputs. Do I connect to just one of the inputs or use a y-cable and connect to both? I am connected to the right input only right now and it seems to be working OK.
Thanks,
Mike
Well, I have three different opinions. On the side slightly in front of seating position. On the side slightly behind seating position. And from the Axiom "president and chief engineer" himself, side OR back slightly behing the seating position...
What about surrounds in general - side is preferred, right? What about 7' high, is that too high? Would lower on the back wall be better than high on the side walls?
I just got an Axiom speakers package with their QS4 quadpolar surrounds: http://axiomaudio.com/1QS4.html
Where should these surrounds be placed? Side walls or back walls? How high? I am going to use the mounting brackets that came with them. One problem I have with side wall mounting is one...
I guess it depends on the store. I just price matched a Sony 32FV27 yesterday with no problems. They even price matched the stand, but I only saved about $10 on the stand.
The shipping for the TV on my printout was bogus, 30 something dollars, and they didn't question it. The web site I used...
Well, I receiver my DVD player and VCR from SharperDigital yesterday. It took 2 weeks, but there was the WTC tragedy and a Jewish hoilday that slowed things down. And I think they are a new company that is not operateing most efficiently yet. Both items were packed in a larger box with...
I ordered a Panasonic RP56 DVD player and a VCR late Wednesday, 9/13. They called me back on Thursday, 9/14 to verify the order. They finally emailed me a tracking number yesterday, 9/21.
I sent them several emails earlier this week that were never answered. Their 800 number was always busy...
William,
I ordered from their webpage. I didn't have any problems. Here is a link to their info page.
Link Removed
They claim they are an authorized reseller.
I received a confirmation email and replied asking if they give tracking information. They said they email tracking info when...
The Circuit City web site has the Zenith D36D51 listed for $2000. What are the differences between this and the D36D53? Has any seen these anywhere else? Do these sets do the vertical squeeze?
