I have had this television for about 3-4 months now, and about once a month the television will power itself off and then right back on. I am wondering if anyone else is having this problem and what I might be able to do to correct it.

Thanks Gregg. You wouldn't be planning a trip to Arkansas anytime soon?

Just took delivery of a Hitachi 57S500 and just noticed that the picture in the left-most 6 inches of the screen is bending down about an inch. It is very noticable when something is shown across the screen (like a stock or score ticker across the bottom of the screen). Is this something I can...

No, the sub is not. I generally do not listen to anything at ear-splitting levels. I was just curious as to whether or not this would be a bad idea. I thought that the whole convergence thing was the reason that most people considered placing a sub behind a TV bad idea. If one did not have to...

I am planning on getting the Tosh 57HL83 when it comes out this fall. As I understand it, there are no focusing issues as compared to a conventional RPTV. If this is the case, could I safely place a 20-39 PC+ immediately behind the TV knowing that I would not have to worry about any lenses...

FWIW, I spoke to the salesperson at Best Buy today, and the 57 inch LCOS is in the system with an arrival date in late August. He could not give me any pricing info, however.

I have a 5.1 receiver with DD and DTS decoding only. If I try to play a disc that has a DD EX or DTS ES soundtrack, will my receiver treat it like a normal DD or DTS track, or will it just not work?

Thanks Marcel_V

Does the Harman Kardon AVR325 do DTS 96/24? If not, will the new models do it and when will they come out?

How were you able to talk Ultimate down? Did they price match, or did you just make an offer they couldn't refuse?

Does the MCACC between the 45tx and the 49txi differ in any way?

This problem is not limited to the SWX. I had purchased the TWX from Ultimate with spots along the bottom.

I had the exact same problem. I purchased mine from Ultimate Electronics, who refused to exchange the unit (I had it for four days). I ended up returning the TV and taking my business elsewhere. My spots were along the bottom of the screen. I also had a friend that purchased the 51 inch...

No one else has any thoughts on this? These are not problems that are necessarily Hitachi specific. I figured that I would not be the only one to experience anything like this and that I might be able to get some help from the forum.

Thanks for the input MatthewH. This is the confusing part to me. The Standard setting gives me the brightest picture. Medium is dimmer, and High even more so. I was under the impression that this should be the other way around. As far as the "dim" spots go, they show up no matter what I...

Anyone?

Hello, I just took delivery of the 57TWX20B yesterday and I am having a few problems. First of all I have 3 "dim" spots on the bottom of the screen. The first is centered directly on the bottom edge, about 2 inches long and half an inch tall. The other two are about 6 inches to the right and...

This may not be the place to ask this, but I have seen mention of the 49txi. What exactly is this? Is it an upgrade option or is it a totally updated unit?

Is there such a thing as a 2.1 or 3.1 receiver or would I have to just buy a normal 5.1 receiver and only utilize 2 (or three) channels plus the sub. My room will not accomodate surrounds, but I could work with front L/R, subwoofer, and possibly center channel. I would not mind just having a...

I am getting ready to wire my surrounds, and even though I do not yet own a sub, I want to go ahead and run the wire for it at the same time. I plan on purchasing a powered sub, possibly one of the the SVS PCi or PC-Plus when they come out. When I contacted my local Audio Dealer, he...

I have noticed that some Pioneer sets (SD-533HD5) have been removed from some web sites as well as the local Best Buy. The people at Best Buy told me that this Pioneer line had been discontinued, but they did not know when or if Pioneer was replacing it with a new model. Anyone know?

Thanks Miles!

What are the major selling seasons?

Thanks Russell, Sorry about all of the questions, but I am new to this. I am also considering the Outlaw 950/770 (or 950/750) combo. However, the room that I will have to use for my theatre is not optimal for a 7.1 setup. To achieve 7.1, I would have to use in-ceiling speakers for the back...

David and Russell, What are you guys driving your setups with?

When do new models for TV's usually come out? Is there a certain time of year that everything gets released, does it depend on the manufacturer, or does everything get spread out over the year? Just curious as I am in the market for a new Rear Projection HDTV ready set.

I have read several threads about the Diva speakers and have been interested about them for a while. My question comes down to this: For around $1900, is the following setup the best I can get for the money? Diva 6.1 (2) Diva R3 (2) Diva C3 (1)

Sorry if this is a stupid question but: I am planning on buying the Outlaw 950/770 combo. However, my room only allows for a 5.1 setup. Can the two channels I have left over power a subwoofer (or two), such as a SVS 20-39+? Thanks in advance for the help.
