Back about the time my 1st year was coming up, I started to hear this odd buzzing noise. I had someone come look at it and of course the guy could only tell me that this was normal for these types of sets. I thought otherwise and purchased an extended warranty. Thank goodness. Anyway, I've...

Well, yet again something is wrong with my 3 yr. old Toshiba 40X81. This time the speakers stopped working and I get no sound no matter what input is used. (The first few times the widescreen modes would shut off the whole set) I was wondering what a good replacement would be, or should I...

I just popped in my Pearl Harbor last night, and decided to compare the DD and DTS tracks, and have to say that I was quite disappointed in the DTS track. It almost seemed as if I was watching the movie with earmuffs on. I thought maybe my system needed to be re-calibrated, but I popped in...

Thanks for the quick reply. I started looking around and too found the Samsung. I had no idea about the $100 rebate...you may have just made my day!!!

Thanks for the replies. Sima was the name of the company that I couldn't remember. I kept thinking it was Sony that made a switcher that could convert composite to s-video. I was on the right track with a "S" at least. As far as hooking it up to his receiver, he doesn't have a true receiver...

I have a friend who has a TV with only 2 inputs, and would like to plug his VCR in using composite, and his cable box in through S-Video into the same input. He's already using component connections for his DVD into his 2nd video input. Is there a switcher that will accept composite...
