Well a new machine does exactlty the same thing. I guess it has to do with the compression of the burned DVD or something that prohibits the upconvert player from reading it. Odd though that I've had little problem with Sony DVDs. I need a cheap DVD player in order to play all of my DVDs? That...

model SD-V593. Factory pressed movies seem to play fine. I've had problems with some burned DVDs. Sony discs always worked, some Fuji discs worked but not many, some Memorex worked. Tonight even a Sony disc started causing me problems. ALL work on my cheaper Samsung player as well as my...

Did you have to do anything special? Just hook the antennae or cable to the input, set the signal source to antenae A or B and signal type to cable or air and do a full scan right?

Hi Jack, This is the first time that I've attempted to use those inputs, though I know my neighbor used the DirecTV input which is just above the antennae inputs.I bought this TV from my neighbor almost a year ago. He was moving cross country and sold it to me for $400 (with the stand). I...

The display works fine using the video composite, component and S video inputs. The ones that don't seem to be working are the two RF inputs Ant A and Ant B. The TV has a full search function that I've run a bunch of times and it keeps coming up with zero channels added. I also should just be...

ok I hooked up the output of a VCR to the ANT B input, set the TV for Ant B and Cchannel 3, it's not displaying the picture at all and still says weak signal. I disconnected it fro mthe RCA and fed it directly into a 13" TV I've got and it displayed just fine. Do you think my antennae A and B...

For some reason when I hook up an antennae to the Ant. A or Ant. B input and do a search it finds no channels. Even if I enter a channel that I know works it still says "weak signal" and displays nothing. I've hooked my the same antennae source to another TV and it displays channels. I've also...

I've got a ground block that the coax runs through that I'll ground and I'm going to ground the mast as well. Is 12 gauge wire ok?

I tend to agree. That was my initial thought though as it was directly underneath the speaker. :mad:

Looked at the floor model at a local Best buy and that one shows a bit of a white spot in the upper center as well. Maybe it's just normal with those sets? I read a LOT of reviews and no one mentioned this issue. It doesn't appear to affect the viewing but it still kind of bugs me. I haven't...

I knew that that was an issue with older unshielded speakers but in the JBL owners guide it even suggests putting the center on top of the TV and includes a diagram showing it. There was nothing in the sony manual warning against it. I thought it was going to be safe and now I'm seeing a white...

ok I am finding some stuff on them now. specifically the forum at remote central.com. also some discussion here but that seems to mostly about the MX-500 model. anyways if anyone has experience with boith, I'd like to hear about them. thanks

I searched and found a ton of discussions on the Harmony but a HT installer I communicated with on another forum said that he never uses those and favors the MX-350 much more on his smaller jobs. I'm not findig much information on these. Reviews, discussions, etc. anybody have any experience...

I'll be sure to ask exactly what is and isn't covered. Hopefully my salesperson will be accurate. The person I'ved been dealing with is a senior guy. I ownder if they'de be willing to do a deal like if I offer to buy the contract on the TV will they give me a contract on the surround sound...

No other issues to worry about then besides the bulb?

I'm getting close to buying a Sony KDF50WE655 from Best Buy for $2050. The service plan is $400 for 4 years. Normally I pass on service plans as I fugure with all of the money I save by passing on them, if something actually DOES go bad, I can just buy a new one. Are problems common with large...

Thanks for the help guys. Awesome link Bob.:emoji_thumbsup:

before you need an amplifier or something?

I'm a little hesitant to make a purchase like this online but am willing to consider it if I can get more TV for the money and it's a reliable company that will be there if there's any issues. Any opinions? Thanks.

Specifically I think I've narrowed it down to a RPTV in the 42" range. :)

Ok for the speakers. How about the speaker wire? How far away does that need to be if run parallel? How about if you're just crossing an electrical cable at a 90 degree angle?

Sorry if I wasn't clear. The walls are currently open and I redid all of the electrical wiring. The electrical wiring is inside the wall and the speakers will be on the outside. One point has quite a few electrical cables running into it as there are three light switchs there. How far does my...

Because of the shape of the room and existing construction my speaker placement options are somewhat limited; what is the minimum distance that external wall mounted speakers should be from electrical cables (inside the wall)? How about the minimum distance for the speaker wire itself from...

I've got my walls and ceilings open in the basement and I'm running coax, cat5 and speaker wire. I'm trying to stay away from the existing electrical wiring but there are some places where I have no choice and have to cross it. What's and acceptable distance to insure that I get no interference...
