    JVC XV-S65 Any fix for ep. I subtitle glitch yet?!

    I recently read a thread from someone who had the 90BK (w/ DVD-Audio) and had the same problems. He finally got someone at JVC to admit to the problem. Someone at JVC actually called him back and asked him to ship the unit to them for an upgrade. I don't think he has it back yet so I'm not...

    Sorry, but need help really soon...

    My wife and I purchased a Mitsubishi WS 55857. It was sitting side by side with the Sony, and the 55807. Here's how we narrowed it down. The Sony looked very out of focus and the edges of everything were a bit soft. Given that it was a retail store, it could have been just horrible...

    Mitsu WS 55857 Line Doubler

    Thanks for pointing me towards more information. It looks like quite a personal preference. Many people like the 480 and others like the 960... I guess I'll just have to try it out and see. From what the manual said about 960 "it will soften pictures..." I didn't want to even bother... I...

    Mitsu WS 55857 Line Doubler

    I was flipping through the manual of my TV when I noticed that it offers two different line doubler modes. Does anyone know which is preferable, or if there is any difference. There was only limited information in the manual about the two modes. Thanks in advance!

    Store Display of 4x3 program on 16x9 set

    We recently purchased a Mitsu WS 55857. I tried all of the different formats available and have settled on the standard. This format lets you view a regular broadcast in full screen mode. For the first week or so I thought everyone on the screen looked a bit elongated. But after that and to...

    HD-Time warner Cable can you receive it with DTC-100

    Wow - you should be lucky they offer HD channels there! I live in San Diego, California and have Time Warner digital cable, and we don't have any HD broadcasts. I sent TW an email and asked when I would be able to fully enjoy my new TV w/ HDTV programming. Their response was fairly...

    Problems with projector

    AVIA is a DVD used to calibrate your television and audio. I used AVIA to calibrate my Mitsu WS 55857, and it made quite a difference. I had the TV for about a month or two before I calibrated and I had noticed that it didn't look quite right. The people who delivered the TV had adjusted the...
