    Screen Shield for Panny 47WX42?

    I made my own shield out of 1/8 acrylic plastic. It works fine and can be removed easily. It covers the front, and about 4 inches of the top and 2 sides so that I did not need to use Velcro. Was installed for a Super bowl party. No problems so far.

    Is it the DVD or the player

    I tried to watch Planet of the Apes on my JVC player that is connected to a JVC receiver the 8020, it read the disc for a while and then spit it out saying no disk found.

    Body Heat question (possible spoilers)

    Body Heat always reminds me of another erotic show nothing movie and that is The Postman Always Rings Twice with Jessica Lang and Jack Nicholson. Similar plot too. Lou

    First post center channel advice

    Good idea I will get the 26's for the front. The Advents are left over from the 1990 CD only set up I had. I wish I could use the ONKYO TX-844 but it is 2-channel only. It does have an optical output and input for a digital video device, I think it was a tape of some kind. Thanks Lou

    First post center channel advice

    Would it be better to put the Advents in the back and use the matching JBL's N24's in the front with the JBL center. I have not purchased any thing yet except of course the old Advents. Lou
