    Your all time favorite guitar solo is??

    One of the best to be sure. Check out David here on Fat Old Sun. Jump to 3:20 where he takes off the acoustic and straps on his Telecaster and the tempo picks up.

    Mitsubishi SR-HD400- where to find?

    I actually ended up with a Hughes unit and I love it. I also ended up with the Sony KDP57-XBR TV too. The Sony remote copntrols it just fine. MIKE

    And as for last night's _Enterprise_...

    It was nice to see Hoshi in a little red tank top. She is stiff competition for T'Pol for "Babe 'O' the Ship". Mike

    Question on car tune-ups

    There isn't likely to be damage if the plugs, cap and rotor or wires are left in too long. It would likely begin running rough or idle lumpy. On the other hand, if you let your fuel filter go too long, it could clog and leave you stranded. A worn out air filter could pass dirt into the engine...

    RPTV with built in surround sound

    Well I got a pair of Klipsch Quintet speakers and connected them to the TV as well as the Klipsch KSW-10 suswoofer. I put in the DVD of "Behind Enemy Lines". I can't saay much about the movie but it sounded really great! The front and center speakers built into the KDP57XBR2 really sound...

    RPTV with built in surround sound

    My new Sony KDP57XBR2 HD RPTV has a built in center channel, rear and sub outputs, and a 100W amp. Has anybody tried to use this as the only sound system? The Hibachi top series has this feature too. Before you go crazy, this set is in my family room. My old set including 5.1 system is in the...

    Set top box advice

    I bought a Mitsubishi WS-55909 55" Diamond Series RPTV that includes a HDTV tuner -actually they deliver it on Friday:D I was kind of confused about the digital tuner thing. I come to realize I need a Direct TV HDTV "set top box" to view the HD HBO, HDNET, etc. So I call the store and ask him...

    line conditioning

    Thanks. I have the Video Essentials DVD and will bring that out soon enough. I was actually thinking of the UPS for my TiVo unit, though I've never had a problem before. My thinking is while a surge protector stops high voltage and spikes, what about low voltage(brownouts). I've seen that do...

    Mitsubishi SR-HD400- where to find?

    Im looking for a SR-WD400 HDTV DirecTV reciever to use with my Mits widescreen. They don't seem to be available anywhere? Any idea why? I could go for another brand that's chaeper and available, but I had a silly idea about keeping all the components from the same MFG. Like I am also going to...

    Firewire

    I was about to buy a Mitsubishi 55" RPTV wit built in HDTV tuner to go with my new Direct TV package being delivered later in the week. I was just informed that the DirectTV receiver isn't HDTV capable and that I should buy the cheaper TV set without the HD tuner and then add a Direct TV HDTV...

    Tuning HDTV

    I am buying a Mitsubishi WS-55859 55 16X9 RPTV which features an integrated HDTV tuner. I have also ordered a Direct TV setup the includes a 18X24 dual LNB dish, a Direct TiVo, and 2 regular Direct TV receivers. Now I know what comes through the TiVo is not HDTV, though I hope it still looks...

    Mitsubishi RPTV series differences?

    Thanks. I went back to the brochure and it states that the WS-55859 has intergrated HDTV, making it the only one in the Platinum line with that feature. The other 2 lines have it with and without as well. They all looked good in the showroom with HDTV on. I'll probably go with the 55859...

    ISF Video Calibrations in Chicago Area

    I was going to ask this in a new thread, but here seems appropriate. What is an ISF calibration? I hear people talking like a brand new unit requiers a ISF calibration. Is this true? Why wouldn't manufacturers set them right at the factory, and if it needed it when new, wouldn't that be under...

    Mitsubishi RPTV series differences?

    I was at Tweeter today looking to replace my Mitsubishi VS-50604 50" RPTV(4X3). I liked the WS-55859 55 RPTV HDTV. I could get it for $3200 and I think that is a decent price. The man also told me that Mitsubishi is starting a 20 month "no payment, no interest" plan later this week. Anyway I...

    Speaker placement in hard to fit room (picture)

    Thank you guys. The problem is my "home theater" is my wife's "family room". She even wants those Bose "Jewel Cubes" because they are so small and unobtrusive, but that's for another thread;) I realize it's not really a home theater, but I want to make the best of it. I could make one in the...

    Speaker placement in hard to fit room (picture)

    After 3 years in a new house, I am finally setting up my TV/entertainment area. I have a Mitsubishi 50" RPTV that we bought when we moved in. I am buying an amp and speakers to go with it. The room is our family room and has some severe limitations. It is 16X19 and two stories high that is open...
