Topic title may be a bit confusing, so let me explain: My problem is a certain 1-year-old troublemaker who is making a determined effort to drop my rear surrounds on his head by shaking the stands they are on. I am going to put the speakers on shelves, but that still leaves me with a concern...

Last night, the TV was fine. This morning - I see this. It looks like the blue is horribly misconverged. Any ideas what this is, whether it is fixable and how much it would cost? It's a five-year-old RP Panasonic, so I'm trying to figure out if it is worth trying to fix.

Weird, I know. But today he just marched into my office and handed me a check for $500 out of the blue "to defray the rising price of gasoline." I live pretty close to the office, don't drive that much on business and have a pretty fuel efficient car. But I didn't turn it down. :D Last year...

Hey folks, I need to buy a bottle of decent booze for a buddy's birthday. I don't drink Scotch, and I know he likes it, so I need some advice on what to get. I was going to spend in the neighborhood of $50-$60. Suggestions?

An article on Bose marketing written by audio engineer turned marketing guru. I found it quite interesting. BOSE MARKETING

"Bloom County" is back starting Nov. 23, and no one says a word about it on this forum?? Are you too concerned with such trifles as the state of the world?? Or more serious subjects, like the state of silica packets? Plain out of touch? Or is it simply that no one cares that one of the greatest...

I was just wondering because this is weird... I recently noticed a red spot in the middle of my screen (a Panny 47wx42), about 1/16 in diameter. I called the authorized repair shop, they came out and told me that the spot is in the green projection tube and that the tube needs to be replaced...

Ever do something real stupid that you could kick yourself for? Ever do it for a year? I have a RPTV, HD-ready, that I've had for about a year. Bought a progressive scan Panasonic DVD player along with it to make sure that I had the best picture possible. To that end, I've also gone into the...

I don't know how it happened, but my RPTV has a little red spot in the middle of the screen. I have no idea where it came from. I did the manual focus on my Panny yesterday, and it looks like it happened after that--but what could it possibly be? I never touched the screen from the inside...

As I was sitting in my dentist's chair this afternoon (:frowning: ), the classical station that was on started playing "Flight of the Valkyries" by Wagner. As my eyes wandered to a child's drawing of a helicopter on the wall, I couldn't help but think of Apocalypse Now . I actually can't ever...

I know I missed it, and this is one of the movies I've been really, really waiting for on DVD. Didn't find out about it until today, which is kinda nice-- less than a week to wait!:)

Okay, I wonder about some strange things sometimes so this occurred to me a couple of days ago when looking at pictures of statues... How, or rather why, did human buttocks evolve? Apes don't have them, so what was the evolutionary advantage to our ancestors of being able to sit comfortably? How...

I'm puzzled. I have seen lots of people announce that they are waiting with bated breath for the new Blade Runner SE which will supposedly have the original theatrical version. The theatrical version had a voiceover and a tacked on happy ending which were both added long after Scott finished the...

The news I've been waiting for all my life...:D Beer!

Well, I did something very stupid. I went into my service menu, and wrote down the original settings in the wrong place on my little chart. I went to change them back, and ended up changing the wrong settings, so I had an awful picture. I fixed it somewhat, but it still doesn't look nearly as...

I love this film, and I haven't heard even a hint of a rumor of it coming out on DVD. Has anyone?

We just got a new living room set and my better half wants a big new TV to complete the project; in order to promote domestic harmony I have to comply (pity me :D). I have a few questions: --I'm thinking about a 16:9 set, but I'm a little worried about burn in, since we do watch quite a bit of...
