    Pixelation Issue

    While watching the Grammys I would get some pixelation during performances that used strobes or any quickly flashing lights. I have noticed this while watching other shows as well, specifically with HD feeds. Basically, it looks like the screen is filled with a bunch of squares. I have a...

    Question to all 563a owners.

    WOW..........only 14 views and no response. I figured somebody out there would've had the same issue as I. Anyway, if you have searched and come across this thread regarding The Aviator here is what you do. Choose scene selections from the main menu and pick scene one and you'll be good to...

    Question to all 563a owners.

    Forgive me if this has already been discussed. I used the search function but came up empty. Have any of you experienced a problem with not being able to play the dvd The Aviator? This is what happens. When selecting the option to play movie, the player starts for about two seconds then...

    how good is the pioneer VSX-1014 going to be compared to the elite.....

    I currently have the 810 and was thinking of upgrading up to the 1014. Without going back and reading the entire thread. can you tell me what the crossover points are on the 1014? I would hope that they are changed on this unit because the 810 only goes down to 100. Thanks - Tod

    Distance to picture?

    I moved my seating back last night to about 12'. And I must admit that this distance has a more mind pleasing effect. I think I will take some measurements and tinker with the distance a little more. Tod

    Distance to picture?

    Hmmm, at three times my diagonal screen size the would be 16'3" for me. That seems a little far to me. I think I am close to 9' with my 65" Mits and it seems fine. What would be the benefit to moving farther away? Tod

    Should I get this RCA Scenium?

    Mike If it happens to be the HD61W140 I would recommend not getting the set. Although the HD and DVD picture quality was excellent out of the box, the relaibility factor is an issue. Mine failed within a year after purchase and took almost five months to get repaired. Even after all the...

    Opinons on my new rptv.

    Brandon My RCA HD61W140 crapped out after 11 months. After six months of failed repairs Ultimate agreed to replace it with a Mits WS-65613. I would agree with Andy, go bigger if you can, or at least get the same size. My advise, research the model you intend to get. Tod

    Opinons on my first set up?

    Brandon I can give you an honest opinion of your RCA since I own one, albeit a different model. I own a Scenium series HD61W140 with a built in HD OTA tuner. Out of the box SD cable broadcast is fair. HD programming is awsome. DVD is pretty good. Here is what I recommend you do. Calibrate...

    Dayton sub, talk me out of it!

    Dorian What size room are you putting the Dayton in? My concern is that 100 watts may not be enough for the size of my room. (15' x 30' x 8') Tod

    Thoughts and opinions on this sub

    I am in need of upgrading my sub, since my POS Sony 35w just doesn't do the job. I have done plenty of research and am considering the Dayton from parts express. All indications are the Dayton is a good performer in its price range. I considered some of the other top performers, SVS, but...

    Front firing or down firing?

    Sooooo, either one will work just as well in a fully carpeted room? Tod

    Front firing or down firing?

    If an entertainment room is fully carpeted, would it be better to have a front firing sub? Or does it really make a difference? Tod

    JBL E150 Vs. Dayton 10"

    Computer to HT receiver

    Eric I have done this several times. I just connect my optical out to one of the optical ins on my receiver. Make sure the setting for the sound card is set to output 5.1 or 6.1. You'll have to use one of the DSP modes like PLII to get sound from all of your speakers. Hope this helps - Tod

    Componet cables vs. Coax ?

    Allan In other words, for better video quality use the composite video out (yellow) from the cable box. Correct? Tod

    My Home Theatre - 12 Pictures

    Nick, very nice setup. I agree with you that there is a feeling that it is missing something. A few well placed plants and some pictures, and or posters would do the trick. Tod

    Issues after 16:9 HD set serviced.

    Thanks for the response Jean. It was new in the box and I bought it April 26 of 03 and it failed on April 6 of 04. I purchased it from Ultimate Electronics, formally Audio King. The tv didn't power up one night when I went to watch it. So they did get it up and running, only after two and...

    After two failed attempts of in-home service and two at the shop, I finally have my tv back after being down for two and a half months. Now there are some new problems that weren't there when the tv went in. Will not do auto-convergence and some bowing of the signal. (top and bottom of the...
