    Problem with my Sony KP57WS500 TV!

    Just joined this group and they do have a lot of sources on tweaks and everything imaginable that you would want to do to your TV. The only annoying thing is that this is also a newsgroup, so expect a LOT of emails in your box. Cheers.

    Problem with my Sony KP57WS500 TV!

    Yo Rain, I need some help on changing some of my settings :) Most of the names on the Sony Service Menu I don't recognize and are not equivalent to some of those mentioned in the post. If you could post some of the more basic changes I could do with Sony's corresponding service menu label...

    Problem with my Sony KP57WS500 TV!

    I finally accessed the Service Menu but the setting labels are completely different. Can someone help me find the equivalent of AXPL, VMLV, and Y-DC on my set? Thanks

    Problem with my Sony KP57WS500 TV!

    Thanks for the reply. Does anyone know how to correct the problem within the service menu? I forget, but fiddling with the service menu voids warranty, yes?

    Networking

    You'll also need NIC (network interface cards) installed on each computer you intend having on the network. I recommend getting Linksys NICs and a Linksys router as those have worked painlessly for me.

    speaker placement question

    I think that ideally you would want the center channel at a height that is at the same listening level with your ears. This means if your ears were a certain distance from the ground, then the center channel should also be around that same distance above ground as well. If you want to mount...

    Opinions on Sony STR-DE1075 receiver?

    Anyone have any experience with this? Is it overpriced for what it offers? Or is it a solid receiver regardless of price? If I get the Klipsch Quintets will this receiver be overkill? Any input will be appreciated. Thanks guys. :)
