i am currently using the richard grey power company in my system. the results are truly astonishing. not much of a difference in the audio but the picture on my television was dramatically improved. i work at a home theater store and we have this unit hooked up to everything from $2000 rear pros...
another difference between the two is that the 49tx uses a special video processing feature that upsamples all of your video sources to component output.
a good idea is to rubberize the room prior to the walls going up. also, there is a certain way to space the studs that eliminates sound transfer. there are also acoustic panels available but are quite expensive. try looking for a cedia certified home theater store in your area to do the work...
the elites in the past were hands down the best and commanded a higher price. however, in the past year mitsubishi (diamond line) has caught up to the elite on dvd and hdtv at a much cheaper price ($4500 compared to $5500). i will say this, the elite blows away EVERYTHING when it comes to...
hi guys,
i have a customer that has inquired about this new multi-disc dvd player for a system that i am installing for him. he purchased the new 61" marantz plasma and i would hate to see him "cheap out" on a player. i can't imagine the performance on this unit is worthy of a $30,000 display...
hi tim,
i sell a ton of multi room audio systems in philadelphia.
it is actually easier than you think.
all you need is a stereo receiver, a source and a speaker switcher. i also carry some in wall speakers that would add a classy touch to your store. it is alot less expensive/difficult than...
iam a firm believer that line conditioners work in certain circumstances.
i live in a 50 year old building where the electric is horrible. the line conditioner made a big difference
jay,
i just read your post. i dont know if you remember but i work at a hi end store in jenkintown, pa. i have both the 333es and the 555es in stock.
i have the 333es hooked up in my 2 channel listening room and i could hook up the 555es in the same room or in a seperate dedicated home...
hi,
i sell pioneer elite at the shop i work at and the rep was in the other day. the changes in the new sets will be minimal, improved lenses,etc. but will more importantly deal with the lock in full mode problem. the pricing has not been announced but i would imagine that they will drop to...
hi,
welcome to the forum!
i recently purchased the toshiba 40h80 based upon the price ($1900) and the small size. this is a great tv IF you know how to tweak it and are willing to shell out another $4-500 for an isf calibration. i would recommend only buying this tv from a reputable dealer...
im thinking maybe really rock his world...
-spend $500 on a h.t.i.b.
-$200 on a dvd player
-leaving you $800 on a tv and wires/accessories
there are plenty of great options in this price range.
i was just looking at audiogon.com at a listing for these. they have 2 demo pairs with minimal hours listed.
-$399 for 2.1 including custom stands
-$680 for 5.1 (retail $899)
someone PLEASE buy these so i don't make myself crazy wanting them!!! these speakers look simply drop-dead. how bad...
i found the link from a few weeks ago. it seems like it is similar to your problem.

check it out. i hope this helps!
hey,
that thing about your tv turning itself off was dealt with a few weeks back in a thread here. some guy had toshiba out to his place like 5 times to fix it. there are detailed instructions for fixing it if you cna find the thread.
i bought the store's "performance package" when i bought my 40h80 only because i'd rather deal with a store that is right down the street (i can go and get in their face) rather than deal with toshiba on the phone (who are well known for poor customer service).
you guys are f-ing briliant. i am not even kidding, i can't believe that these problems were fixed like this. i have not tried it out yet but i will tomorrow night and follow up. super!
as mentioned above, i have the red tint problem but i never had the player in interlaced mode, i had it set for progressive out since go. dont know if this is relevant??? regardless, a huge thanks to obi for looking into this problem and making it his even though his unit is not flawed.
i am using the progressive scan output to a toshiba 40h80 and i most DEFINITELY HAVE THE RPOBLEM. it is totally red/pink. there is a thread going on at avsforum about this.
i feel your pain brother!
as you can see by my post on the board, my 40h80 is not functioning properly either (green problem). i was thinking the same as you that "this is an inexpensive television" at first but i think we really need to take a step back and look at that. this may be an...
hi,
this problem is actually getting worse every day. when i first got the tv last week it wasn't there at all and every day it seems to get a bit worse. i will try to get into the service mode tonight and lower the green as prescribed. i do not think it is the dvd player b/c when watching...
thanks for the help...
i have found instructions on getting into the service mode but i do not know how to get to the specific parameters that you mention. could someone direct me to a link that could better explain this.
also, do you think i should just return the set and get a different one?
i received both of these units last week and i am beginning to notice that the picture looks especially green. i have been playing around with the settings but i cant seem to get things right. i have the contrast turned down past 40 and all of the other settings that were recommended. i have not...
i bought mine 2 weeks ago and it was delivered this morning. it seems that i am one of the fortunate ones to get a good unit, nothing appears to be wrong (and hopefully will stay that way). it does appear that the geometry is a bit off (looks like the screen just needs to be scrolled down) but i...
a friend of mine just picked up a used sharp xg-e1200u lcd projector for $400 (i am so jealous!).
he has asked me for help setting it up. i know a lot about home theater but absolutely nothing about front projectors. i believe that this is a very nice unit but i do not see how to connect...
hi,
my toshiba 40h80 is being delivered on tuesday and i am absolutely confused about the set-up. could someone please tell me what the best setting is for the following:
-cable tv (i would like to fill the whole screen)
-progressive scan dvd (black bars ok but i want the absolute best...
did they know or give you a hard time about being in the service mode. its good that you got it fixed, i am thinking of going into service mode on my new toshiba next week when it arrives. i am also scared of messing it up but as long as it can be fixed under warranty, ill give it a shot. let me...
