Here in western New York (Erie County Libraries) it works much the same way as Martin described in the original post, however, we can only keep the discs for 2 weeks (1 checkout, 1 renew). I think it's a great deal, especially if you are backlogged on new releases by a few months. I put my...

Lars, I experienced the problem on my direct view (CRT) 32" Sony WEGA. Tony

Michael O, I'm so glad I browsed through the last few pages of this thread, as I thought I might have a problem with my equipment. I watched TTT alone the other night with a single 75W bulb on in my theater and did not notice anything unusual. I watched it again on Sunday with friends, but...

For those interested there are three discrepancies between the .pdf version of the SD-P2000 manual widely available on-line and the version that actually ships with the player : 1. Page 32, Section "Playing an MP3 encoded CD", bullet "Selecting a track (file name) in the disc" - different...

Scott, You're right, I found the same note in the manual that actually came with the player. I bought my player from OneCall.com and printed the .pdf version of the manual from their website before it arrived. Since the manual that came with the player looked the same I never bothered to read...

Scott, I looked on page 75 of the manual and can't find where is specifically says not to disconnect the AC power while charging the battery. I see on page 76 where it says "Do not detach the battery pack while you are operating the player (while the POWER/CHG indicator illuminates in...

I have a few questions for any owners of the Toshiba SD-P2000 portable DVD player : Is there any way to force the headphone output(s) to remain active with the screen closed? I would like to use it for listening to CDs in the car with a cassette adapter connected to the headphone jack. I also...

Dave, I actually dug up this old thread also and put it in a link yesterday regarding service codes for the new FS100 model: http://www.hometheaterforum.com/htfo...hreadid=115631 I have the KV32FS12 (same model year as your KV36FV16) and after setting up the new KV32FS100 I can tell you that...

Colin, I just set up my brother in-law's KV32FS100 using the same service menu codes that I used on my KV32FS12 (year 2000 model WEGA). I'm sure these codes will work for your KV27FS100 also. See my second post in the following thread for service menu navigation instructions...

Here are two that I didn't see above : Cast Away, 20th Century Fox Home Video, DVD (DTS track) Chapter's 7 and 8 (Mayday, The Crash), 8 min 30 sec The initial explosion (right after Chuck removes his band-aid) is a great transient. This event will really test the dynamic headroom of your...

I agree with Clinton that DTS typically yields a more detailed sound field compared to the same movie with a DD track. (An excellent example of this can be found on "Oh Brother Where Art Thou?" during the song of the sirens. Listen to the ambient sounds of the river, especially in the surrounds...

After owning the Apollo 13 Collectors Edition DVD (with DD sound) for several years I decided to buy the DTS version based on internet postings and reviews. The DTS version is widely regarded as having a more dynamic soundtrack with heavier use of the LFE channel. After comparing the launch...

John, This is what will happen if settings are saved in the service menu with the TV in 16:9 mode. I don't know how it got this way, but to correct the problem get into the service menu while displaying one of the Video inputs (it shouldn't matter which one) and re-save the settings while in...

Thanks for the info, but I still have a few questions : Are the scan lines themselves compressed, or is the distance between them reduced? I'm still not quite sure how VSIZ can affect the height of the picture displayed witout also affecting the apparent "aspect ratio", since the width is...

32FS12 May 2000 ASP Only Affects 4:3 and 16:9. My question is, if ASP adjusts the aspect ratio, then the width must be fixed while the height is varied. If this is the case, how is this different from VSIZ. I've adjusted both and they appear to do the same thing for a given HSIZ.

Ted, What kind of DVD player do you own? I have a Sony DVP-C670D and I had problems with the speaker phase test on HTT also. The tones would play correctly and would match the screen for the "in phase" portion, but when the tones played "out of phase" the screen would revert back to the "in...

Pete, Not to confuse you further, but there are some DVDs labeled "Widescreen" that are not anamorphic. The best and most popular example of this is "Titanic". If you leave your TV in 4:3 mode "Titanic" will have the correct (2.35:1) aspect ratio. If you put the TV in 16:9 mode it will be...

Jeff, I found what you suggested by accident while adjusting 16:9 geometry settings on my KV32FS12. I also noticed, however, that although the set comes on in 16:9 mode, the Setup menu will say "16:9 Mode OFF". I think by saving settings in 16:9 mode you confuse the TV. It's more of a bug...

David, I have a KV32FS12 and have posted some information on WEGA service menu access and adjustments on a post titled "Sony WEGA television question." The thread was started by Lee-c and as of this post there were 35 replies to the original. Rather than scrolling through all posts in this...

Jason, Turning off the guns and setting / checking to the bar patterns by toggling back to the standard menu is simply easier than holding up the little plastic rectangles. I have checked it both ways, and there is only a difference of one color scale increment (at least on my set, with my...

Lee, The service menu is easy to navigate, and you can always turn the power off and back on again to return to the original settings if you haven't performed a save while in the menu. I would recommend tweaking only those parameters you are familiar with, however, as there are some that...

Lee, I've been reading topics in this forum (sorted on keyword "Wega") for a long time, but this reply is my first post. I've recently adjusted my KV32FS12 color and tint with only only one gun at a time on rather than using the plastic filters supplied with the Avia disc. Turning the guns on...
