Carl, I think your last point about the post Baby-Boomers being ignored is right on. Wal-Mart and K-Mart have done some extensive research and found that people like yourself are too busy looking for a good deal on diapers to be wrapped up in music. I really think that more attention has to be...
Many of the added value DVDs are limited edition. Some for a higher cost, some for the same price as the CD. And also, some may say, "includes video" but it may be that the video is streamed once you get on a website. And many of these do not happen when the CD first comes out. They may be...
Like some of you noticed there are quite a few CDs coming out with either a DVD disc in the package or the CD itself has a link to a web site that contains videos and other information. The new Bon Jovi had a link that would allow the purchaser to buy Bon Jovi tickets before they went on sale...
If you were a fan of the last album like I was, This one has way better playing from Carlos. I can't believe this guy can still play like that. Check out the track with P.O.D. He plays his ass off. And the latin tracks are as good as the last album.
Not many Knopfler fans are familiar with a disc that came out mid-nineties (I think) called The Notting Hillbillies. A quante album full of cool shuffles and acoustic stuff. One of my favs.
Just to reinforce your decision, I bought a new one (X model) a few months back for $3,000. Just think of what it's going to take to move it again. take the deal and upgrade.
I have an oval dish so I can get both sats. It has a the four-gang box to distribute the signals. I was looking to only get the promo channels! If I was to get the promo channels, I'd be very happy and sign up the second box! There's something else here.
After replacing my old DSS receiver with an RCA DTC-100, I decided to hook the old one up again. The old one is an RCA DRD515. But when I hook it up, I don't get any satelite signal at all. I thought that the DTC-100 would still be on the old Sat. Do I have to get on the roof and tune in the...
In regards to hooking up my VGA/Component converter from an RCA DTC-100 to the HD Monitor.
Which would be better, or would there be a difference if...
I hooked up a 10' VGA cable to the receiver and a short component cable to the TV.
Or should I just use the short VGA cable and use a long...
Just like every other piece in our HTs, the more you read, the more confused you get.
I'm looking at the Mits WS65819 and the Tosh 65HX81.
Both are nice sets, and both would be great after being tweaked.
I know that the Tosh sets look great right out of the box. It was even evident in the...
Dave,
My opinion would be to buy as much screen as you can afford. you won't regret it. You won't be sitting on your couch wondering how cool the bigger TV will be.
I speak from experience.
As far as the extended warranty goes, I would pass.
Tosh is a good brand and if anything goes...
The physical shape of the TV is pristine.
The TV is in a Dedicated HT, no little kids or cats in the house.
I calibrated the set using VE and Avia, so yes, all settings were done correctly.
I'm selling the set because I want to buy a Sony 10HT (used) front projector.
You're certainly...
Chris,
it's model KP-53XBR200
*Digital Reality Creation (four-times higher density thatn the conventional NTSC picture) I will say that the line doubler in this TV works really great.
*Two Tuner features.
Picture & Picture, with zoom-in (Twin View)
Picture-in-Picture (PIP)...
Only 3 years old and handled with loving care.
53 inch XBR.
4:3 screen has all the goodies that go with the XBR series.

True, you can run your video signal directly from your DVD player (or other source) to the inputs on your TV.
You understand that you need the Receiver to decode the DD, dts and other versions of the same from the DVD player.
In many systems, people include a VCR, a DSS receiver, maybe an LD...
I always check the Open Box table at Best Buy. And I've gotten some great deals there.
Just check the warranty. If it's good, go for it. And don't buy the BB extended warranty. At that price it's worth the risk. Besides it delutes the great deal you just got.
Klipsh make a VERY efficient speaker, and chances are that the speakers didn't need that kind of power to sound good.
Let me tell you about my experience. I own NHT VT2s.
These babys suck up power like a paper towel sucks up spilt milk.
I passivly biamped them and it made a world of...
I looked up this receiver on the Kenwood site before I responded. It wasn't much help.
It appears that there must be only one Digital input, but I say that only from what you described and the fact that they didn't list how many it has.
Bottom line, DO NOT use a Y cord to input two devices...
Kevin,
If you're going to play your system at any decent level, then yes, your parents may hear it.
Sounds like a domestic issue to me.
As far at your room goes, try to find a place where the TV or monitor can be on a straight wall, (no corners unless you absolutely have to).
And if you...
I bought the Kenwood HTB-504 for my son.
The receiver has plenty of S-Video inputs and enough digital inputs for a good sized system.
Lastly, it sounds really good.
If it's a large room, he may need to upgrade the sub.
