When I upgraded to 4K last year, it was right before JVC announced their affordable 4K native PJs, so unbeknownst to me, I bought their last eShift line. However, my thought was even though I buy Ultra 4K Blurays, most of my viewing is still only 1080p Blurays, so I would simply leave the PJ in...

Thanks for the installation help, Mark. Bullets weren't my choice -- they were my only option from Heartland. Geordon

Okay, Mark -- you sold me on the 89259. I got a deal I couldn't refuse with Bullet plugs from Dan at Heartland Cables, and he is assembling a 15m sub cable for me. Geordon

Mark, How does the Canare L-4E6S (QuadStar) compare to the Belden 89259? I know these are two different constructions, but I have used the L-4E6S before with XLR connections, and would simply use both twisted pairs together as a single pair for unbalanced RCA connectors to the sub. Geordon

Mark, If you don't recommend Canare/Belden RG6 for sub wire, what would you suggest for DIY? I have a powered sub which needs a 50' line-level run from the receiver. I was all set on using L-77S and RCAPs, as frequently rec'ed, but now you got me thinking. Since this is a permanent...

I don't have a 5xxx series, but here goes... The remote should have a Display button, in which case pressing it will cycle through Time/Channel/Tape Counter on the VCR display. A second button, which may be called OSD, is used to display the information on the TV screen. Geordon

Marvin, In case you really did want a 9900, but not for $450, do a search on Google for JVC 9900, and you should find a number of places selling this for about $375 - $380. AAAcamera.com had the 9800 for about $316.

If the 9911 indeed is missing the same TimeScan Dynamic Drum Head as the 9900, then I am very pleased with my decision to go with the 9900. We absolutely love watching shows at 2x and 3x without the chipmunk voices of 1.5x playback. I also think both the audio and video are cleaner at 2x than...

I have a Sony 53" RPTV of the Videoscope line, model KP-52S15. Manufactured 1995. Has seen very little use in the last 3 1/2 years. This was our TV reserved for watching DVDs, but now have a CRT FP, so not used at all, now. Due to its lack of use, I figured I may as well sell it, if I can find a...

Just to let everyone know, I ordered the 9900. Took 3 days to get ahold of someone at JVC who knew anything about the 9911. Apparently, the 2001 model 9900 features of Timescan, Dynamic Drum, and Ghosting Reduction were removed from the 2002 model 9911. 9911 supposedly has 1.5x playback...

What is the main reason people are using SVHS ET? Is it to archive or time shift? If time shifting, I would think the extra $2 or $3 for a tape which lives in your VCR day in and day out is immaterial. On the other hand, if you are archiving, wouldn't you want to use a media with sufficient...

Phil, I think we all like new, but there was no way I was going to pay the new price of $25,000 for my Barcographics 1208/2 CRT. I am looking hard at the offerings on ebay, as we speak. Not a huge fan of Sony the company, but I know their good stuff is good, and will buy if that is the way to...

We need to replace one of our VCR's, so figured this is my chance to upgrade to S-VHS. I have spent the day perusing the forum, and it appears the list is down to JVC 7xxx, 9xxx or Phil and Rachael's choice of the Sony SLV-R1000 from ebay. Here are my prices: JVC 7800 $199 (new) JVC 9900 $349...

I am using clear case wire from Home Depot, rated for inwall use. The casing is *very* thick. This cable is larger than a run of 10/2 electrical wire. Apparently, the thickness compensates for the material. I believe it is due to the amount of time that it takes to burn through the case. I was...

I am using a Carvin DCM4000 to drive my pair of BK2's. This is equivalent to 2 DCM2000's, giving each BK2 2000W. You are right about the loud fan, but currently, my amps are in the basement, and my HT is on the first floor, so this is not an issue. $2K may be a lot for tactile feedback, but it...

I use the Monster Cable Y to the L/R inputs of my Atlantic Technology powered sub like you do. I have an additional question. I also need to send my sub signal to the Behringer Ultrabass Pro, which feeds my ButtKickers' amplifiers. I am only using one input channel on the Ultrabass Pro. The AT...

I was planning on waiting until next year to get a 2002 or 2003 model, either 65" or 73", possibly with integrated tuner, but the local dealer is having a private sale in a few days, and is blowing out this 2001 model. It lists for $9500, and is currently on sale for $7000, so I know that $5500...

One way to check is to determine how many circuits you are running. You already said you have 2 20A circuits -- that is 40A right there. My guess is that you will run the outlets and lights on several 15A circuits, so the potential usage quickly puts you over 50A, if you actually used everything...
