So would it therefore be worthwhile for me to take it to get serviced. I only paid $100 for the tv and would hate spending more on the repairs than what it cost me or is this incorrect thinking on my part.

Would a complete electronics novice be able to handle such a task and if did attempt it is there some reference material that would help me identify a flyback transformer or any other part i may encounter. Thanks for the help so far though.

I currently own a 32" direct view Mitsubishi CS-32207 1997 model television and yesterday while watching the picture would appear to become shadowed, whites seemed to turn orangish in color, and the picture seems to bend at certain points on the screen. i thought it was the tv channel but i then...

I can not find in the manual how to hook up just one back surround speaker to achieve 6.1 sound. I thought that I had read that you make the connection to only the left rear surround but i want to make sure I do it right. Also if anyone answering this question could also let me know how to...

Not sure which one would be better for me. I am extremely interested in its CD sound quality and it will be used on a non HDTV. I know seperate DVD and CD are reccomended but cabinet space is an isuue. It is going to run through the Sony STRDA4ES with a Wharfedale Diamond setup. Any insight is...

Just to let you know i just finished placing my orders today. I went with 8.4s for the fronts, the diamond center, 8.3s for the rears which came with a free pair of WH-2s that i will try, but maybe 5.1 (I have the Sony sa-wm40 which i will try for now)will be enough for now. It will all be...

And a question for Chad. Where did you pick up that setup for only $500 thats seems awfully good.

Thanks for the input guys. I am also wondering if you guys ever listened to the 8.4 as well and what your thoughts are. Also what subs are you working with and what are you using to drive everything. I have read that the Wharfedales can be pretty power hungry. Thanks again for the info so far.

My original intent was to buy two sets of Diamond 8.3s for the left and right of the mains and surrounds and then I was going to add in a pair of Diamond 8.2s for the centers front and rear. That is until I read that the 8.2s are not video shielded so could not be used ontop of the tv. First of...

I guess another question that goes along with my search is does one ever find a speaker that they truly love? With so many choices out there and the fact that they are not all locally available for auditioning how do you ever really know?

In reply to Jason's question yes the presence speaker is inside the same cabinet/enclosure. But does anyone know what this adds to the sound, does it almost make it a threeway speaker?

What I may be asking for may seem crazy to everyone here but I will ask anyway. I have a Kenwood shelf system that is about 12-14 years old now and I really enjoy the sound produced by the speakers. The speakers are the LS-722 with the following specs: Enclosure: Base reflex type Speaker...

I am just wondering what keeps a bookshelf speaker on a stand. I see some with spikes on the top plate some without spkies and some with clamps on top what are the "best" type. Sorry if this is a stupid question.

Thanks you everyone for all of your input it was even more than I could have hoped for. Currently I am leaning toward either the NAD PP1 or the Parasound PPH-100 or even perhaps the Sumiko Pro-Ject Phono Box MM/MC Phono Preamp all of which seem to sell for about $120. If anyone has any further...

A search for receivers leaves me with very few options that actually have a phono input. Phono preamps range in price from $50 to $1500. What are the differences and what do I really need?

Dave thanks for the information. Now this leaves me with a search for phono preamps that resluted in a price range of $50 - $1500. Now I am just totally confused. Would it just make more sense to find another reciever that I like that has a phono input. My second choice was the Onkyo SR800. Are...

I am curious as to how well this works out especially if it was identical to the front left and right channels. In many system reviews it sometimes appears that although the fronts may perform very well it seems that often the center is not reviewed quite as favorably. One example, and one that...

but i will ask anyway. I am considering the Harman Kardon 525 but it does not have phono input. It does however have tape input which i will not be using, so as you can guess I am wondering if I can use the tape input for the phono? Will it work, but will it be good as well? Any input is greatly...

I will try to express my concerns to the best of my ability without boring everyone so here goes. I have auditioned several brands of speakers and absolutely love the clarity size and sound of the NHT super bookshelves (SB2s and SB3s). After months of research and consideration I have several...
