    Subwoofer near boiler room = trouble?

    Thanks for the reply. The sub would be at least 10 feet away from the furnace enclosure, I just worry about such intense vibrations even happening in the same room! MD

    Subwoofer near boiler room = trouble?

    The header says it all. We're thinking about building a home theater room in the basement of an old house. The one concern is, the boiler room would be in the same room as the HT setup (albeit encased). Should we worry about the sometimes-pounding air pressure from a 14 inch subwoofer causing...

    A possibly silly question about the JVC 500 DVD player

    Now that I've got a RPTV, I'm going to make the jump to a progressive scan player. Scaling features are very important to me and given this, it would appear that my only real options are the Panasonic RP91, JVC 500 and 600 or the Malatas (which I definitely don't want to touch, given their...

    RP91 and non-enhanced DVDs...WOW!

    Oops - Hank, just noticed that you actually HAVE a JVC 500! How does it compare to the 91?

    RP91 and non-enhanced DVDs...WOW!

    Or for that mattter, does JVC's XV-S500 (http://www.hkflix.com/hardware/jvc_xv-s50x.asp) do scaling?

    RP91 and non-enhanced DVDs...WOW!

    Does anyone know if the RP 91's successor (whenever it's finally announced) will do scaling as well? I can't believe they didn't issue a variation of the 82 with this feature. From where I stand, it's absolutely essential.

    Yikes! Yamaha amp heating up when turned off!

    It's totally surreal. If I leave fan blowing on it, even at the lowest setting, all's well. If I turn off the fan for 5 minutes, it starts getting warm (again, while it's turned OFF). I do leave it plugged in while it's off, but as Shane wrote, that wouldn't explain the heat, as Standby has...

    Yikes! Yamaha amp heating up when turned off!

    Has anyone ever seen this happen? My Yamaha RX-V992 has been performing beautifully for the five years I've had it. The other day, it turned itself off. This was the first time that I've ever seen the unit behave this way. When I felt the top, it was considerably warm. Tried turning it back on...

    Anyone know of a Pioneer-literate ISF calibrator in Montreal?

    Hi Gregg, That would be amazing. Here I was thinking that I'd be lucky if I even found an ISF-tech-in-training-with-lots-of-photocopied-manuals to work on the set. I never thought I'd be able to secure a virtual ISF superstar! :) Give me a shout at [email protected] so we can work...

    Anyone know of a Pioneer-literate ISF calibrator in Montreal?

    Surely one must exist? MD

    10-12 away?

    I'm torn between getting a Pioneer 533 (53") or 643 (64") myself. My big concern is that weaker quality sources like VHS would become all but unwatchable on a 64 incher. Even DVD, I would imagine, would be noticeably degraded on a screen that large. Am I correct in thinking this? When you've had...
