    Line Voltage Interference Cure?

    I am getting voltage interference from incoming CATV signal on my whole house audio system. It is causing a slight hum in the background which is noticable in between songs at high volumes or at the end of CD's. The installer unhooked the CATV and it went away so I know it is the source. He...

    Virtual HD???

    Low on the learning curve so be easy on me. When should I be using the "Virtual HD" on my Hitachi RPTV. The manual says "press to toggle between 1080i and 540p" - lost me there too. Can someone explain that as well? I did a search but still am lost. My head is spinning:frowning:

    Interesting Samsung Comment......

    The delivery guys dropped off my new Hitachi 57TWX20B last night (yahooooooo:D ). and they had an interesting comment on Samsung. They mentioned that 70% of the Samsung TV's they drop off need to be picked up again for repair....sometimes multiple times. They think it is great because they get...

    Recommendations on multi cd/mp3 player?

    Well Keith you are quite correct - I don't even know what HDCD is - nevermind what it has to do with the post but thanks anyway Mark:b I will look at the 400 disk changer by Sony as well. Is it a pain to index all the CD's? MP3 playback is a great bonus. Any other CD rippers and players such...

    Recommendations on multi cd/mp3 player?

    We just built a new house and I purchased a Russound 6.4 for whole house audio. Needless to say - playing cd's in my single DVD player isn't cutting it (running back and forth to much). Can you guys recommend a good multi disk cd player (that hopefully plays mp3/wma)for my stack? I don't...

    Hitachi versus Sony 57" Proj.TV??

    I am currently shopping around for a 57" projection TV for the house we are building. I spec'd out the enclosure for the 57" Hitachi mainly due to the excellent measurement information in pdf on their website. I am trying to decide on between the Hitachi 57UWX20B ($3800 Cad) and the new Sony...

    In Wall or Not In Wall?

    Just to clarify - there I won't have cabinets for the rears. They will be just either attached to the wall with brackets or in wall for aesthetics. The cabinet will be at the front and I plan on bookshelf speakers there - probably my existing Energy Take 5's for a little while anyway. So...

    In Wall or Not In Wall?

    I am building a new house and considering either wall mounted speakers or in wall speakers for just the rears. I like the cleaner look but am afraid that if they blow or I want to upgrade the rears later that it will be a huge hassle. Comments?

    Rear in Wall Speaker Recommendation

    Thanks Marc. Let me clarify. The rears would be possibly in wall for a 5.1 system. I have reservations regarding in wall for the system that is why I thought I would ask. I may have 7.1 in the future but that is a ways off budget wise until it comes to the consumer level price wise.

    Rear in Wall Speaker Recommendation

    Hi everyone - this is my first post here! I am currently building a house and I have the Energy Take 5's in my existing house. I am planning on putting in wall speakers for the rear l/r speakers. 1. Should I go in wall or mount speakers on the rears (aethetics vs. technical) 2. If in...
