    Heating a Basement?

    Listen to frank- he knows what He is talking about. If your house is only 7 years old it should be all set up for a future basement. All you have to do is put heat ducts in every room (except bathroom is not required) probably over the windows on exterior rooms. Also you need returns in each...

    Difference between 57H83, 57HX83, 57H93, 57HX93

    I have the toshiba 57hx 83. I did a lot of res-each on these TV's before I bought. The only difference that I can see between the HX83 and the HX93 (also the only difference between the H83 and the H93), is an integrated HD tuner. Picture this, two TV's, the H series and the HX series. Then add...

    theaterlink cable part #?

    First sorry for so long between posts, very busy you know. Now, yes, I have called toshiba (five times) and gotten three different part numbers from them, they have horrible tech assistance.

    Electrical Surge question

    I am electrician by trade, and you don't have a surge of electricity, you have a lack of it. The lights are dimming because of the start up current needed by the AC compressor. That is where I would start, sounds like the compressor is drawing way to much current. Mort is right on, if that AC...

    Update- repair man came friday- found a spring that had either come loose or was an extra sitting on the bottom of the set. It was laying on a circuit board and shorted out some stuff. They had to take the TV out of the house and I should hopfully have it back in about a week.

    What is wrong with my Toshiba 57hx83

    actually they were very helpfut to my wife. They contacted toshiba directly for us and then sent us an E-mail copy of the fax. They "seem" to be in our corner trying to help us out. Until then though, we put a hold on the credit card payment until this gets resolved.

    What is wrong with my Toshiba 57hx83

    All right, here is the skinny, the wife called the dealer that sold it to us and they said they could do nothing. They told her they were nothing but middle men and that it was up to toshiba to fix. Wife called toshiba and now we have to wait until next week to get a tech out here to look at it...

    What is wrong with my Toshiba 57hx83

    One other question, since this unit that I bought was a refurb, should I still demand a different unit? Or am I stuck withn this unit? I am really new to this home theater (first big screeen, trying to save a buck) stuff and I hope I wasn't taken. Any opinions would be a help, good or bad. thanks.

    What is wrong with my Toshiba 57hx83

    Thanks Jack and John, I will do that as soon as I can get a hold of a real person from the place I bought it from. Hopefully tomorrow morning. I was more concerned that I didn't do something correctly when i hooked up the set, or maybe a simple fix that I had never heard of. I will post after I...

    What is wrong with my Toshiba 57hx83

    I can't see any menu's or anything. The screen never changes from when it is off. The only reason that I know it is getting power is that the little light is on and the speakers are making a very slight whiring noise.

    What is wrong with my Toshiba 57hx83

    I just recieved my new tv today, well my wife took delivery on it since I was at work. The delivery guys would not remove the tv from the box and let her try it out. They just lifted the sides of the box just enough for her to reach in and grab the power plug. She pluged it in and reached up...

    Anyone using the Denon 3805 remote with a Lite-On DVD player?

    I also was having troubles with my remote learning codes from other remotes. Finally got it where I wanted it and it stopped working all together. Could just be a faulty remote? (Unlikely but possible) Mine would freeze up when trying to learn some times when trying to learn some signals. The...

    is there a dvd-player out there to fit my needs?

    James- I looked at the sony and I could see my self getting pretty annoyed with all of the space. We rent a lot of movies and it looks to me to not have a +1 drawer. I also think it would be to big to fit in my entertainment center. too deep that is. Joe, I will look into the Yamaha when I get...

    is there a dvd-player out there to fit my needs?

    On that link above, the information is wrong. I just did some more reseach and yup the 1815 and the 2815 DO play the -r's. So, now the question is what is the better player between the two. Also- what are the big advantages of the 2200 and the 2900? Even though they are single disk, if they are...

    is there a dvd-player out there to fit my needs?

    It looks to me that the denon 1815 and the 2815 don't play cd-r's and -rw's. That Is a very important feature to me. I researched further and found last years 4800 looks to have all of the bells and whistles that I am looking for, any comment on this machine?
