I have a Tosh 57hdx82 and the theatrewide 1 mode suits my taste for 4:3 material. It's a relational stretch that scales and stretches more toward the perimeter of the screen.
I have a 30" 13 year old tosh and it never saw service. So I went out and bought the 57HDX82 in october. It has been wonderful so far. I looked at most of the competitive sets and the thing that sold me was the way the Tosh displayed standard cable and it's strech modes. I think all of the big...
I am using a 25' Radioshack cable that has 2 RCA males on each end then I added a R/S 2 into 1 adaptor at the receiver end. Inexpensive and it seem to work fine. I think it was less than $25.00. I use good quality cables for all interconnects but I am a believer that spending a fortune on cables...
I have a very similar set of JBL's and love'em S310II rather than s-38s They work well for music as well as HT IMO. You wont need much of a sub for music. I did notice that the JBLs take a good abount of time to break in. 2 months or so for me. They went from just OK to very good after...
If you have been the happy owner of JBL speakers for 7 years why not look at the new studio series JBLs. Inexpensive (online) and sound great to me at least.
Your sub is one of the models plagued with amp failure. Chances are that is what happened to your sub. Borrow a sub to check the incomming signal. If it doesn't work replace the amp. I understand Parts Express sells amps that would suit your application. Best of luck
If 6500 K is an important factor(which I am not convinced)any dimming done will drascically change not ony the color temp but also the color rendering index. The only lamps available that have a CRI rating of 100 (which is best) are incandescent which are not available in 6500 K.
The 65" Toshiba is made to be delivered in two pieces. I am sure with a little knowhow you would be able to split it in half move it and reassmble it. I am having the men who delivered my 57" move it for me after I saw how much fun they had bringing it up two flights of stairs.
You should determine if you were going to use you system much for music. Any music SACD, DVDA or stereo will benefit greatly from using larger (Full range speakers). Larger speakers for the most part are more efficeint so you will use less amplification for your desired listening level. A very...
I have the newest SA box. It's a 3/4 size box (don't know the model#) It's only advantage is it's size. I have had both. The older style SA box wouldn't seem to hang up on the digital channels as described above.
I had techs there twice redoing every conection from the pole to the set top box. (two half days off work.) Adelphia is the cable provider.....(could this mean anything). They also avoid any questions about HD signals. The set has been replaced both times. It's one of the newer smaller SA boxes
Thanks Tim; The information you have provided sounds correct. But I am still puzzled why the same movie on the same channel looks pixelized at 7:00 and much better late at night...say after midnight. I love the fact that I get cable modem Internet access so I am not as apt to change to the...
I bought the 57HDX82 after extensively looking at the offerings in this price / size category. I thought the Tosh had a more natural looking picture. I don't seem to get the hiss from my speakers but I use my receiver and surround speakers for all but the news. The Sony and others seemed to have...
I have digital cable installed at home (no hdtv offerings yet). Anyway I seem to get variable PQ on the same digital stations. To me it seems like decompression artifacts. I have a theroy that the PQ degrades during peek internet useage due to reduced bandwith available. The PQ varies from near...
You could try to leave your towers set as large. This is what I do and I like the results for music and movies. I also leave my sub crossover set to 50hz and leave the volume down on the sub. This way the sub pretty much dissapears while i play music. Oh yes JBL s310s and PB12
Hello Folks; I am looking to purchase a quality DVD player that has decent SACD capabilities. Would like to stay within a $400 - $500 budget. Thanks Any Suggestions????
By the way.. if this was already said excuse me. A real film in a cinema is continuous tone and has no real resolution. The picture sharpness in limited solely by the transparency (film positive) size. A real testement to this is an IMAX movie they utillizes a very large film source.These movies...
I have a 57hdx82 and a reciever with a pre out. Pro Logic is for two channel input and derives a synthetic surround using 5 or 6.1 speaker set up. The problem is that the toshiba's internal speakers use the toshiba's built in amp and might be difficult to match the other speakers in your set...
I have a set of JBL 310s and I am very happy with them for HT as well as music. I drive them with an onkyo 797 and they will play much louder than I care to listen. I think the strong point of these speakers are thier ability to image the soundstage. I used to have about 10 K invested in...
I was lucky enough to audition both side by side and bought the s series which were hands down better for music and they work great for movies also.
I purchased them from etronics.com s-310 184 ea. s center 128 pb12 249 plus shipping.
