I received a response from my local ISF calibrationist after I told him I was going with Gregg. I told him that it was also suggested that I only had the 480p scan rate calibrated because it should get 1080i and 480i pretty close. He asked me to send him a list of Gregg's services in the $400...

Shaun, You're talking about the RadioShack 15-2117 (same remote as the 15-2116, but includes the RF transmitter). This remote is JP1 capable and used to go for $50+, but it has been discontinued. However, most stores still have it (not available online anymore) at a steal for $29. If...

MartyM, What RadioShack remote did you go with, the 15-2116? Are you using the JP1 features with that remote?

Calvin, I am probably going to go with Gregg. He is going to be down in Florida in May, so i am going to try to set something up then. When were you planning on having it done?

Another funny thing is the amount of time he quoted me vs what you guys are saying. He told me it would take 7 hours.

Michael, Thank you very much for the quick and thorough response. After reading through various posts on this and other forums, I thought it was little much, but I did want to consult the professionals for reassurance. :) Thanks again for helping me out with this. Tom

I am viewing a Toshiba 50H81 HDTV RPTV. Sources include a progressive scan DVD player, DirecTV HDTV STB, and 3 TiVos. I am running all sources through a Yamaha RX-V1400 receiver to the HD input on the display via one component cable. I have been given a quote by a local ISF calibrator of $750...

MuneebM, I apologize if my post came across harsh, I wasn't trying to discredit your choice of the 2400 in any way. However, since Robert was saying he was on a "limited budget", I thought the 1400 would be the best choice for him. Also, as far as a remote with an LCD screen, the...

MuneebM said: I am going to have to disagree with this statement being your reason for choosing the 2400 over the 1400. For $20, you can pick up a RatShack or One for All JP1 capabale remote that I guarantee will do everything the 2400 remote can do plus more. When I was contemplating...

I got the Bass Shaker Pros for $24.88/each at PartsExpress. They also have the original Bass Shakers for $29.80/pair.

I just received 4 Aura Bass Shaker Pros today...I am planning on attaching 2 to my main sofa and 2 to my loveseat. I was planning on using 2 Y-cables to split the LFE signal from my Yamaha RX-V1400. I will use one Y-cable to split the signal to my sub and use the other Y-cable to send a...

I have heard good things about the N24's, so i think I am going to go with them. Plus, i'll save a little bit of money to put towards either a SVS or HSU sub!! ;)

Todd...sent you a PM.

I recently purchased a Yamaha RX-V1400 to replace a Kenwood HTIB. I decided to go with the JBL E90's for my mains and now want to replace the Kenwood surrounds. The 1400 is capable of 7.1, so I am looking at either two pairs of the E10's or N24 II's. I can get the N24's for $75/pair and the...

As Clint said, a JP1 compatible "One for All" remote is very capable. The Radio Shack JP1 compatible remotes are excellent as well. I have the 15-2116 programmed to control 3 TiVos, HDTV receiver, Yamaha 1400, DVD, and CD player. Find out everything you want to know about JP1 at JP1 Forum

BestBuy has the JBL E90's on sale for $249.99 each (black or cherry finish) this week...these usually list for $399.99 each. I purchased these two weeks ago to go with my new Yammy 1400 and they sound awesome.

Pro Logic II - Music is one of the modes I tried, but I'm still getting 2-channel.

Just set up the 1400 and it sounds great!! However, I am unable to find a listening mode that will matrix 2-channel stereo into 5.1. Am I missing something?

Vic, Do you know if I can assign the digital inputs to 7 different sources? I need to connect the follwing: - 3 DirecTivos - 1 HDTV DirecTV receiver - 1 Panasonic DVD-RP56 DVD Player - 1 Kenwood CD Changer - 1 X-Box

I am planning on upgrading a Kenwood VR-507 (from a HTIB) to the Yammy 1400. I see that the receiver has 7 digital inputs (not including the front panel), 4 optical and 3 coaxial. The outputs are labeled (i.e. CD, DVD, etc.), and overlap between optical and coaxial, however I read that they are...

I have been contemplating switching over to DirecTV for a while, and am now ready to do it with the NFLST special they are running. I was leaning towards getting the Blockbuster deal with a two room set-up (because they offer the elliptical dish if you tell them you are getting the Para Todos...

You will not be able to utilize the PIP if you only have one receiver. You will need to either set up another receiver, or if you have an OTA antenna, you can use that for the second source.

I figured I would get a few responses. Has anyone ever encountered this problem??

Bob...you have been a wealth of help...maybe you can answer one more question before I set-up and calibrate. Radio shack has a few different switches. A basic "4 Speaker Switcher" (#40-132). A "3-way Speaker Selector" (#40-240) rated at 50 watts/channel. And a "4-way Speaker Selector"...

About two months ago I purchased the 50H81. Everything was going fine with it until a few weeks ago I noticed some red on the right side of the display when the screen was black (like during a very dark part on a DVD). The redness has gotten substantially worse, and I can now see it happening on...

Bob...thanks for the prompt answer. I know when I first began my venture into HT and posting a few questions on this board, I was told that mixing speakers was a no-no because they had different timbres. I did hook up both the Kenwoods and the Pioneers to the fronts, but could not tell much of...

I have two sofas set up in my veiwing room...one in front of the display and one to the left. I currently have the raer surrounds on either side of the main listening position, but I want to put surrounds on the sides of the sofa on the left. I am planning on using an A/B speaker switch...

I'm pretty sure that this model has a dual tuner (two coaxial inputs). This is how I have my Tosh 50H81 with digital cable set up: 1) First, You'll need to get a 2-way coaxial splitter. 2) Split the cable from the wall. One line goes directly to the TV, the other goes to the cable box...

I believe it only happened once per movie. What exactly is a layer change?

Has anyone had this problem? It has happened on a few movies, but it is always at the same frame on that particular film, which leads me to think it is just a software problem. However, the discs are brand new...out of the box.
