Yes, I was. I have little or no experience, but from what I remember I think it's an either / or proposition. Either you can listen to outside or inside, but not both. Any extra insight is appreciated. By the way, I ordered the HTD speakers and they should start shipping in August. Thanks for...

Thanks for the recommendation. I'll check them out! gk

Hi, all. I'm looking for some really really cheap (did I mention inexpensive?) outdoor speakers. Right now I have a DENON AVR-3802, Paradigm fronts, main, and surrounds, and an SVS-PB2+ sub. I was looking at these: http://www.circuitcity.com/detail.js...toid=-8023&m=0 I am more worried...

I just got the service manual and am flipping through it now. Again, thanks for the link. Hopefully this will have enough detail to solve my problem. Thanks again! gk

Thanks for the link, Tom. I'm going to see how closely their setting abbreviations match my set and then if I can figure out what needs to be tweaked I might give it a shot. I guess my biggest problem is that unless I'm able to have a DVD playing while in the service menu then I won't be able...

Ah.. I didn't catch the difference between menu and "service" menu. I'll start doing research. If anyone out there can give me more details about accessing the service menu for my TV, please share! Thanks! gk

I'll check it, but I swear I have been through every menu my TV offers and never saw anything that allows me to adjust the geometry. I have a KV-36FV26.

Hi, all. I've had my 36" Sony Wega for a couple years now and something I've noticed is that when it plays a widescreen DVD, the picture on the left side of the TV seems to angle slightly downward. The picture looks great otherwise and I have no complaints in regular ole 4:3 mode. It's been like...

Thank you, sir. As advertised, I'm eternally grateful. gk

Well, I messed up. I had a business trip to go on so I had to wait to calibrate my newly purchased SVS PB2+ based on Ed's written instructions. "Ed's notes will still be on HTF when I get back..." Wrong! It seems my post disappeared due to diligent moderator scrubbing. A search of "SVS...

I'm just starting to look at universal remotes. Price isn't really an object. I thought I'd take an informal survey to find out what other remotes people use and if you have any recommendations, please let me know. By the way, my setup is fairly basic. Sony TV, DVD player, DSS receiver...

I calibrated using the "Video Essentials" DVD and a Radio Shack analog SPL meter. All of my speakers read essentially the same dB level at reference (70 dB). Based on my previous experience, I bumped up my center channel to +1 dB and then the sub to +2 dB for my HT channel. For music (DIRECT...

The wait is over. My SVS PB2+ was delivered today. This is my first "real" sub and I was quite excited to get to play with this baby. At first I was a little concerned as I had read the warnings about starting off with the gain no more than a quarter turn but at that level I didn't feel the bass...

A FREE SVS SHIRT!??!?! Hell, man, why didn't you say so? Dear SVS, give me a free t-shirt and I promise I won't send another annoying e-mail. gk

JohnnyN, I feel your pain. I've already tried throwing a pity party a few times on the message board, but no one wants to attend. I have faith that the wait will be worth it. Maybe we should form some sort of support group in the interim. I'm having pre-sub delivery depression, Doctor. Can...
