Thanks for all of the replies. Contrast (Picture as Sony calls it) is turned almost all the way off. If you go into the video menu and select contrast, only 4 bars are on. I could probably lower it a little bit if needed. I experimented with the sharpness some more. If I turn it all the...

The sharpness is turned on maybe about 50%. I was surprised at this. However, with the sharpness turned all the way down, the sharpness pattern on DVE was way too soft and out of focus. It didn't come into clear focus until around 50%.

Hi, I just got the Sony KV-32HS420 widescreen tv. It's a 30" widescreen tube tv. Here's the situation. - Watching regular cable tv (not-digital, not hdtv) is fine on my eyes. - Watching dvds causes severe eye strain. - TV has been calibrated with Digital Video Essentials. - DVD Player...

We had a bad ice storm and lost power for about 4 days. It got down to at least 38 degrees inside the house, possibly lower. Does anyone know if temperatures like this could harm speakers? What about other components like receiver, tv, etc??? Haven't tried out the receiver and speakers...

Here's my solution which hasn't been mentioned yet. It may not be practical depending on your setup. I also noticed the cat liked to scratch the sub. I found an old magazine rack and filled it with a couple of books to give it some weight. When not using the HT, just slide the magazine rack...
