Hi Jeff, Have you purchased anything yet? I own the 1018 and am very happy with it. I can't say if it's better than the 606, but it is certaily a very good alternative. It has good power and runs very cool and isn't plagued with any major problems. If it has enough HDMI ports (it has 3 instead...
Thanks Jim, it's a 480p. I thought all I needed was a progressive unit, but wasn't sure if upconverting would make any difference to the image or not. Appreciate your help.
I just won this projector. It is a good entry level unit, that I have read very good things about. I'll be using it for movies and don't plan on using it for high def tv. I would like to get a DVD player for it, but don't know if I should get a progressive player or opt for an upconverting...
Thought I'd mention the Toshiba 46" DLP. I'm not sure of U.S. pricing, but the Toshibas have a pretty good reputation and if its in your price range, would be worth considering. Larry
Since a few of you mentioned you had seen the set in stores recently, I thought I'd make a few calls to the Blockbusters in my area. Well the first one i called had one of the sets in stock and I picked it up Sunday. I guess I should have called around first. Thanks again for your advise...
They told me that the set was on order and it will come in when it's available. I'll either buy the 3 sets individually or call a few Blockbusters and see if one of them has it. Thanks to you all for your help. Larry
I was given almost $100.00 of Blockbuster gift certificates in December, for my birthday and went to my local blockbuster (north-east Toronto area)to buy the 12 disc set of LOTR. I figured it had come out for Christmas and I might have to wait for it to come back in to stock. Well, I'm still...
Can anyone recommend a place where I can rent a projector. The one I was given to use tomorrow is defective. I live in Thornhill, just north of Toronto. Any place in the Toronto area, preferably the central or east side, would be fine. I meed it for tomorrow. Thanks for any assisstance. Larry
I borrowed an X1 from our supplier to show my daughter's wedding video at a party this Sunday. I hooked it up to check it out and immediately saw a bright white line right down the center of the image. It makes no difference if there is a video input or not, it is always there...right down the...
ken, I doubt any manufacturer will tell you how to get into the service menu of their tv's. It would probably void your warranty if you did and they found out. You can really mess up the picture if you don't know what you are doing. Larry
You've probably done this, but make sure you set the sub setting in your reciever to yes and your speakers all to small. If there is no crossover point in the reciever, set it at 80hz on the sub. If there is a crossover point in the reciever, set the one on the sub at its highest setting. If...
Bracks is an excellent store and they have a location on Yonge St. in Thornhill as well. (a few blocks north of Steeles on the west side). Audio Excellence is equally as good. I've known the owner for years and recommend them highly. Another very good store is American Sound of Canada on Yonge...
Well I called the Screenplay distributor today. It is called Aralex. It seems that Infocus will not allow an on line reseller to handle it's Screenplay products, so I won't be able to source them. I was also told that by our main supplier of projectors in Canada, who sells us the Infocus line as...
The distributor for Screenplay projectors in Canada, (at least I know of no others), is situated in B.C. I'll call him and see if I can help with a list of resellers/retailers that handle the product, and/or if I can get them through him. Larry Hoffman TigerDirect.ca
Wayne, I'd be willing to bet that at least the loudness control was on. It's the easy way to pump up both bass and treble, so it sounds "good" to many who shop for speakers at this type of store. Flat doesn't have the kind of punch that sells speakers in a big room, to people that have little...
No they won't. The Panasonic is U.S. For warranty you would have to call Panasonic in the States. Keep in mind though, that it is also quite a bit cheaper than if you bought it locally. You have a choice, pay more for it or take the chance of having to ship it to the U.S. for repair during the...
Hi Chris, I'll check for you tomorrow and see if any of our suppliers carry that model. We can get Hitachi projectors though, so it is a good possibility. Larry.
