    QVC Pixel burn in

    Thanks for the information. I checked my TV’s contrast level. My PAN does not have a selection labeled CONTRAST, but I assume the PICTURE (desc – adjust white areas of picture) setting is the same as CONTRAST. My PICTURE setting was at 100% (factory setting) and I reduced to a 20 setting out...

    QVC Pixel burn in

    I own a Panasonic PT-51HX40 rear projection digital 51” TV. While watching Olympic downhill skiing this weekend I noticed a faint yellow rectangle in the upper left and a 1-800 number across the bottom. Again it is faint but present all the time. Now I look for it during certain screen pics...

    Digital Cable audio connection

    Good question. I just got a replacement digital box (first one blew) from Comcast. My box is a Atl Sci Explorer 2000. I have no doc on the box, but on the back I have a AC-3 single RCA out. I'll experiment and see if it works with my Dig Coax input. My receiver is a Sony also. STRDE975. I...

    wiring options for Polk PSW350 with Yamaha 795 or Onkyo 696

    The Velo CT's you mention - do they (Velo) suggest a preferred wiring like the Polks? I want to use my Sub out from receiver and be done with it. btw- My System is the RM6200 set (4 sats RM1300'S and center RM1600), Sony STR-DE975 receiver. Which Velo would you recommend?

    wiring options for Polk PSW350 with Yamaha 795 or Onkyo 696

    I have the Polk PSW250. Still in box. Is the wiring setup different on the PSW350? I'm concerned with the recommended wiring that Polk wants me to do. It will look messy and I have purchased a 24 Ft Monster Sub cable that I would not use. If the 350 setup is the same - I think I'll swap out...

    Running wire in walls

    Thanks to all for the helpful posts. I'll go to Home Depot or Lowes and get the fish tape. I think I've got a video of my home when the stud walls were visible and electrical up. I hope I dont have a 2x4 section between the vertical studs. Now to find the video...

    Running wire in walls

    Just purchased Polk RM6200 system. Now I'm challenged with snaking speaker wire to the 4 sat locations. I can go under house and find my entry points and then up the walls. My thought is to start at speaker location and drill hole. Next use some long wire (? like clothes hanger gauge - I...

    Infinity HTS-20 Sub causing electrical interference

    Yes CC is correct. The Velo subs are touted as the best sell (I work at CC corp.), but $$ may be an issue. I'll check today. Thanks.

    Infinity HTS-20 Sub causing electrical interference

    I made the change, but no change. Interference still present. Rented Fast and Furious and watched as my first DVD. Awsome sound. Thanks for the Sub help. It looks like it'll be going back. Also my wife doesn't like the size and look of the Infinity surrounds so I'm looking at the Polk 6200's...

    Infinity HTS-20 Sub causing electrical interference

    Infinity HTS-20 Sub causing electrical interference

    I installed my HTS20 (Infinify Home theater 4 SAT, 1 CTR, 150W Sub) two days ago. Love the sound. But - big problem with the sub. It performs w/o any problems, but causes extreme interference with all TV's in the house. Channel 3. The interference is white lines 1/2 to an inch apart. I moved...
