Be carefull, Cobalt and BlueJeans balanced cables are 110 ohm, main use is AES/EBU, not analog. Wickedcables uses the Canare Starquad analog cable (5 conductor) with the same Neutrik connectors. They use a seperate cable suited for 110 ohm applications.

Solder should NOT be the point of contact. You may crimp bananas then solder to strengthen, in this manner the copper in the wire is making contact to the gold in the banana.

Burned phosphors on one of the CRTs. This is usually caused by someone opening up the screen VRs too high while the picture in service (collapsed) mode. The adjustment procedure calls for turning these adjustmemts all the way down before collapsing the picture, then opening them up untill a...

THX was spun-off from Lucas. Tomlinson Holman is no longer associatted with either. Its about the $$$ now!!!

Licensing fees have 5 digits in them!!!! To the left of the decimal point!!!!

Rounder in person!!! I worked on her TV concert last year!!!

Ill stand by Marks statement that Canare and Belden 75ohm coax with the Canare 75ohm connectors are superb for video and SPDIF, but not analog. I do however like Canares analog coaxial (GS-6) with the Canare F-10 RCA connectors, which give a nice ring at the top and a round bottom. Jump in...

Plus or minus 1/2 inch wont be an issue, Canare and Belden time their multi-cable runs to 2ns @ 100ft!!!!

Daniel I think you could do a better job than a tech in hurry!!! Get the manual to your set, study it and take a few hours with no distractions. Unless you write to ROM you can always back off to the last convergence adjustment. "Within spec" would not be acceptable in my book!!! On...

Records are cut with an EQ curve, basically highs are accentuated and lows are attenuated. Because its analog and the low frequencies can not be cut on a record due to its depth. If the amplifier does not have a phono in plug, you need a phono pre-amp to restore the equalisation to flat...

Make sure the adapter has an RIAA EQ circuit. $60.00 for a phono preamp is not bad.

I apologize, its MichaelFusick on this forum and MFUSIK on the avsforum. His posts have helped out a lot, since hes a Hitachi freak!!!!

Let me just start off by saying that a manual convergence helps the set 200% My 57 was nice out of the box, but the convergence made it much better. Read posts by MFUSIK, he has a lot of information that would help you.

He stated it also had a 1/4" TRS . When an amp has both XLR and 1/4" TRS they are wired in parallel. 1/4" TRS IS balanced the difference between XLR and 1/4" TRS is the connector. By using a 1/4" plug you are essentially shorting out the ring and sleeve. A properly built RCA unbalanced to...

I think the greyscale is too hot. The grey bar on the color bars are almost whit and having trouble getting the blue saturation to match on the bars. Dont worry, Ill get around to geometry and convergence soon enough:D

Well thanks everyone. especially MF here!!! My 57SWX20B was very good out of the box!! But Im someone who cant leave well enough alone. After a few days with Avia and the above service menu color tweaks. This set is looking magnificent. A week of burn-in. its settling in very well. I do have...

With my "cant leave well enough" attitude, I tried a tweak from the AVS forum. I believe you were involved in the thread!!!! My original settings were exactly like this person's. I changed them to the same values, Im in the process of readjusting with Avia now. I can tell you that these...

Oh yes, I've been reading extensively!!! I did a basic setup with Avia this morning, helped overall. The red is under control!!! Ill burn it in for a couple of weeks, and go from there!!! Impressed the heck out of my kid's friends, when they were over and got a double feature of Spiderman...

Well, I just got my replacement Hitachi 57swx20B!!! Out of the box, I tossed Episode II into my new JVC XV=S500BK connected with component cables from Wickedcables. MAN it looks fantastic (except for the red push) I just ran the"Magic Focus" then looked at convergence, it was very...

I wouldnt know, the Sears delivery guys DROPPED my Hitachi 57swx20B off the truck!!!!!!! Obviously they didnt know there was a power lift gate under the truck.:angry: New one arriving tomorrow!!!! BTW Sears does match prices, I got mine for $2600.00, and of course they just refunded my...

First my open apologies to BlueJeansCable, they came back with a vengeance!!!! Ive been doing cables on the web for almost three years, and have seen guys go when their reels ran out!!!! Chu Gai I cant see using 1694, when 1505 has less weight and is capable of tighter bends. Both 1505Aand...

SMPTE standards: 259m (360mb/s) component widescreen 960 ft - 1180 ft 292m (1.5 gb/s) HDTV 300 ft - 370 ft The above referenc is for NON-compressed video editing and recording to and from a D5 recorder. Hence the SMPTE standard. This does not apply to NTSC (DVD and HDTV )...

What spec difference? 0.100 difference in capacitance? They are both rated at 3Ghz bandwidth. HDTV is at most compressed to 30Mhz! The Canare plugs are rated 200Mhz which makes the cable size a moot point!! 1694A weighs more, and will damage your the RCA jacks on your DVD faster than 1505A...

Hi TechFlex, is nothing more than a cable bundling solution used in studio equipment racks. The intention was to be able to bundle cabling securely, and cut open easily to replace a damaged/defective cable in a crisis situation. They are now used as cosmetic covering. PLG
