I have the same delay issues, sometimes as much as 5 seconds but usually 2 or 3. But I am having a different problem and was wondering if anyone else is. I have several programs setup in Series Manager, but some have stopped working. Even though they are still setup correctly, they are not...

Dan A few points: To only record the Sunday Enterprise and now Wednesday, you can do that in the setup. After scheduling it in the guide, press LIST and then press C to go to the Series Manager. Go to Enterprise and press SELECT. This will give you various options. One will ask if you want...

Jim, Thanks! I ran out on Sat and picked one up. Although I notice that it doesn't have the extensive search and recommendations that Tivo has, it is excellent for my purposes. I am not using it to watch MORE TV, I just want to watch it on my time. And considering it is hundreds of dollars...

Just got off the phone with TW. Sounds amazing!! Who can tell me how they like it? You can even record 2 programs at once? I didnt think TIVO could do that (unless you had DirectTV). Isn't this a no-brainer? $6.95/month for a Tivo with no up front costs?? Thanks again for any info! Jeff

Whoa! TW now has DVR for only $7 a month? I need to check in Northern NJ to see if it's available here. But how is it different than Tivo? If Tivo costs $250 or so PLUS a $12.95/month fee, who would get it? This might be perfect timing as I was just about to buy Tivo. Thanks vyer much! Jeff

OK...my confusion just got raised a bit. I am using both RCA connectors AND a S-Video to connect my DVD to my TV. I remember the manual saying this was important (and yes, I will be getting a new TV with component inputs later this yr..plasma?). When I removed the S-Video to turn it around as...

OK..here is a dumb question: I had some work done in my house and the TV and DVD were unplugged and all wires disconnected. Now that I hooked it all back up the quality of the DVD is much worse. There appears to be a fine pattern in the background of the video, almost like a honeycomb. Could...

Jason Perfect timing...I just researched 27" analog TVs and recommended this to a good friend. But where can you get it for $360?? I haven't seen it discounted much at all. Is it a reputable place?? Thanks! Jeff

Never mind...I downloaded the manual and it is fine. Thanks

I am writing thi sfor a friend who is considering the Pansonic RV32 DVD player. She wants to be able to view widescreen movies in full screen format(I know, I know, I tried to convince ger otherwise). Is this available on all DVD players? I notice that on the Panasonic.com site there is a...

OK..I never bought my favorite movie on DVD, PULP FICTION, because there was nothing but the movie and trailer and I KNEW there would be more. I was thrilled when I heard about the Collector's Edition being released in a few weeks. But now I see that there is a CLASSIC COLLECTION coming out next...

Thanks to everyone for their comments on this subject. I know that I will be taking the plunge soon and will probably start with Digital Cable and if I dont like it, move onto a dish. One last Q: I know that some SHOWS (i.e. Jay Leno, Everybody Loves Raymond, etc.) are broadcast in HDTV, but...

Is Digital cable a better quality signal than analog? It sounds as though the signal is the same and the digital signal allows them to squeeze more in there. But the analog channels that I get (most of them) will look the same, right? Also, what ARE the digital channels out there? I dont know of...

Michael Am I right in thinking that Digital cable is, in many cases, not really digital. They are analog signals on most channels. What about DirectTV? Is that all digital? THanks Jeff

I have Time Warner cable in NJ and they just announced that they are removing several channels (i.e. HBO 2) because they "no longer have room". I asked what they meant I was told that the rep didnt know. I DO know that the channel that I pay for is going away and will NOT be replaced with...

Has anyone bought anything at the Sony outlet stores? I am looking to get a 32" Wega, maybe XBR, later this year and I heard that there is one in Woodbury Commons, about 45 min from me. I believe they are refurbished TVs. I know they come with a warranty, but I am wondering what the prices are...

Lynn My system cost about that and I am thrilled with it. I have a JVC 523 DVD player (about $175), Onkyo 575x receiver and Atlantic T70 speaker system ($1200 for the receiver/speakers combined). Throw in a few hundred for cables and you are set. This may not be "the ultimate" system, but I...

Bob Thanks...this makes it very clear. It is more a calibration in relation to the other speakers than in and of itself. Makes a lot of sense now! Thanks! Jeff

OK, this may be a dumb question, but...... In ym Onkyo 575x Manual, in the Speaker Setup section, it tells you that a tone will be produced and that you can adjust the sound level of the test tone "to an appropriate level". What does that mean? Should I just be able to hear it? Should be be a...

Once again...thanks very much to everyone. I am running over to Radio Shack as soon as I confirm my measurement from my DVD to my receiver. Although I am happy, my wife will be THRILLED! So I guess I thank you for her also. (Why do women hate seeing wires or cables so much?) Have a great holiday.

OK...First off, thanks to everyone! All I need to do is get a 25 ft coax and slap a few adapters on the end to plug into my RCA jacks! EASY! Is RG6 the best? Will it give me a slightly lesser quality than my digital coax cable that I spent a fortune on? (I would think so) It took me a while but...

Sorry to be really dense, but my Digital out does not have F connectors. Only plugs. To reiterate, I am trying to run my DIGITAL OUT from my DVD to my receiver. It appears that I ONLY have two choices; Digital Coax (And this does NOT have an F-connector-only an RCA plug, and OPTICAL. Once again...

Thanks to both replies...things are a bit more clear. Jus tone more question: I only have 2 choices on my DVD for VIDEO OUT. On eis a Optical cable and the other is a Coax DIGITAL. The Coax digital does not have an F-connector so I am a bit confused about using a 75 ohm F connector cable for the...

I am trying to connect my JVC XV523 DVD player to my Onkyo 575x receiver (I love both!) and i have a few questions. I HAD already had this working but now we had the wires run behind the wall and into our basement and I have a bunch of new issues. 1) I would now need about 25 ft of cable to...
