Hi all, I have been trying to find an answer searching the forum, but I haven't had luck so far. I have the AVIA DVD disc, which I used to calibrate my TV for optimized TV viewing. Today I got an Xbox for my birthday, and my concern was burn in (of course), and from my research, I've...

Hi guys, Thanks for the responses. It's a 51" Sony RPTV. Yeah, I have a feeling it's going to be very difficult to move. If anyone has any recommendation of places (in the Los Angeles area) that would be great. Thanks again, Steve

Hi guys, I live in Los Angeles and am moving to another part of the city, and I was wondering what the best way of moving my TV would be. Because of the sensitive equipment, I think I should hire a professional who is insured to move the equipment, rather than trying to do it myself. Does...

Well, The day after I first post this, the whole unit lost power, so I was forced to spend 40 bucks to pack and ship this thing back to Samsung, to be repaired under the warranty. Best Buy was no help so I'm hoping if there are units that do this often, that Samsung has knowledge and can...

Hi guys, I have had this DirecTV HD receiver for about 3 months now. About a week ago, the picture and audio froze, and I couldn't do anything, even shut off the power via remote or on the unit itself. All I could do is unplug it, wait a few minutes, then plug it back in. And since then, it...

Steve, Thank you SO much. I have been able to play around on this a bit more, and found your information so helpful. One last thing, what do you recommend - setting the DVD player to Interlaced and then using the DRC control on the TV. Or setting the DVD to Progressive and letting the TV...

I am truly puzzled... I just got this morning the KP-51WS510. So far, after only about a half hour (grrr, work) of playing with it, it seems great. There were just a few questions I had that I haven't been able to figure out and I'm hoping someone can help me... I cannot seem to be...

Hey guys, I recently got the Triple LNB dish from DirecTV, and I am going to be purchasing a HD receiver in the next week. I have been impressed by both the Samsung SIR TS-160 and the Sony SAT-HD200. While the both seem to have gotten impressive reviews, does there seem to be a general...

First off, Let me say how truly fantastic I think this forum is. I have purchased an entire HT system, which I am very excited about (I'm still waiting for the delivery of the TV), and I researched, read, and re-read so much on this foru. I am very grateful for the well of information on this...

Noah, My honest suggestion would be to look into professional movers. They have insurance for these types of things, and if anything happens, you know you are covered. It might be more than you intended to pay to move, but think about the cost of new TV to replace your broken one...

Hi everyone.... hoping to get some advice.... I recently purchased a Sony KP-51WS510 51" HDTV, Samsung DirectTV HDTV tuner, Sony NSP-725P Progressive Scan DVD player. Now, of course, I am looking at sound systems. I didn't want to spend too much money for two reasons: 1) I bought the...

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone has seen any reviews for the Sony KP-51WS510 RPTV? Or maybe a quick personal review, if someone owns it? I have been unable to locate one yet, and I was very interested in the model. Wanted to get any and all feedback... Thanks, Steve

Hey guys, Just wondering a question... I am purchasing the following equipment: KP-51WS510 Sony RPTV TS160 - Samsung DirecTV HD Receiver I live in an area of Los Angeles where there are really no mountains in my way and I can get semi-decent analog television reception using rabbit...

Hey guys, Quick question I was hoping someone could answer... I was told by the people at Best Buy (who are certainly NOT the most reliable sources), that I cannot use the PIP on my Sony KP-51WS510 using the Samsung SIR-TS160 DirecTV HD receiver. That the receiver, even though there are...

Thanks Jonathan, I know that getting an old receiver (or a low end one) would probably be the best bet. I will inquire with friends about an old receiver. Were you able to read the prior reply from Chung regarding the Technics SH AC300 or 500? I happen to see one selling for pretty cheap...

Hi everyone, I just purchased a Sony KP-51WS510, along with a Sony progressive scan DVD (DVP-NS725P), and the Samsung SIR-TS160 HDTV DirecTV receiver. Now, after spending all this money, I wanted to wait just a bit before I ordered new speakers and a receiver. Right now, I have been...

Hi everyone, I just purchased a KP-51WS510 (very excited!) and I got it from a place that does not sell their own extended warranties. So I was wondering if anyone has dealt with a third party warranty company (such as Viking or WarrantyByNet) in dealing with repairs on a similiar TV set. Or...

Richard, Were you told when it would be availible? Also, any other important specs he mentioned?

I was made aware that the 510 is replacing the 500 model, but that, so far, is the only thing I've heard. Also, does anyone have any opinions on these Sony models vs. the Panasonic PT-47WX53? I saw them both displayed and they both looked pretty spectacular. Just wondering if anyone had a...

Hey everyone... Has anyone heard about the differences between the two Sony models. I have found some specs from the Sony website, but they didn't seem very accurate. I was told that the local big screen TV dealer would have stock on Aug 11. And that it would sell for $1698 (the same price...
