Well, I purchased a Kp-43 about a month ago and it was defective... Overscan problems, VSIZE problems in both 4:3 mode and 16:9 mode.All easily fixable, but the big problem was a convergence issue with the red gun on the right inch of the screen causing images to seperate and bow out...
I owned the unit you are speaking of, but sold it in the mid 90s. I currently have the CT-WM62R, which is the dual well version with dubbing (6+1 recording.) From my experience with both the machines it sounds like yours is busted. There is no reason why it should play in double speed or faster...
For anyone who's interested, I took a look at about 10 different display sets today on the way home from work at various retailers. Half of the sets had the exact same problem I have, the others didn't. We're talking about the 43ht20, 53hs30, and the 61hs30. From what I understand they are all...
See that's what I thought Jim. I kept asking the repair guy to check out the interior to see if something was jarred out of whack but he didn't want too... Which kind of irked me since I was sitting around all day waiting for him.
Thanks Jeffrey, I went down to my local Best Buy last night and their floor model doesn't have the problem either... I hope my replacement is not in the same production run. Does anyone know what causes such a corruption like that at the edges? Dre
The Sony tech just left my house... I was having a problem with RGB ghosting/separation in the far right inch of my TV screen. He went into the service menu and pulled up the convergence screen and was equally as shocked as I was! All the red vertical lines on the right 1&1/2 boxes were...
I received my Kp43ht20 last week and have noticed a little red and green around hard lines and movement in the far right 3/4 inch of the screen from top to bottom. The rest of the picture is awesome. Is this an easily fixable convergence problem, or something more severe? I have a Sony tech...
Thanks Steve... I already have the contrast somewhere between 30 and 40% in the pro mode... I was watching Blackhawk Down (very dark pic) last night and still see the halo but not as bad, kinda getting used to it... Another problem's popped up though that i'm noticing. At the far right hand side...
Thanks Jack... I suspected that may be the case, and I've heard of people doing that. I plan on having a ISF tech calibrate it in the next couple of months so maybe he'll be able to handle lining the interior for me. Thanks Again. Dre
I just received my sony 43ht20 the other day. When I watch dark scenes, say a nightime scene and a car's headlights approach, I'll see a reflection / defraction that looks like a "shadow" on the opposite side of the screen. This seems to happen whenever the scene is very dark and bright objects...
I have a DVDO line doubler between my receiver and the TV's RGB input. I can't turn VSM on the component inputs (Hitachi! Arrgh!) But there is no VSM on the two RGB inputs. I got the set so damn cheap. Also, I plan on buying a couple of Kenwood 400 disc changers once I see some reviews. So the...
I got the SD-2710 a couple of weeks ago and on about a third of the films I watch the player hiccups... It pauses for a second then continues, and this doesn't happen at the layer change. I back up and can't repeat the problem. Anybody else have this experience with Toshibas. I'm used to Pioneer...
I'm using three Caselogic fake leather CD/DVD binders that hold 208 DVDs in each (Cost me $30 bucks each.) I used DVD Profiler to catalog, then print out a nifty report with scans of all their inserts. I have almost 600 DVDs at the moment, and all those cases in bookshelves was looking a little...
I'm currently using wall mounted RT35s for my front channels and my surronds and a CS300 for the center with my Pioneer Elite VSX-24TX receiver and Elite 12" Sub. When I upgrade this fall to an 7.1 receiver I'll probably go with RT25s for the rears since they'll be close to the listening area...
I'd look into the basic Pioneer model. It can be found around the web easily shipped below $200.00, and in my opinion, has the best anamorphic downconversion if you you're not using it with a 16:9 TV. My experience with Toshiba's downconversion in the past was horrific, anytime there was up and...
