I seem to recall from my electronics background that a 75 to 300 ohm transformer is the same as a 300 ohm to 75 ohm transformerl. Am I recalling correctly? Thanks.

I've had my 43FWX20B since early December and had Sears send out a tech last week to tweek up the geometry. He also made several other adjustments which resulted in noticable picture improvement. Here's the problem. I think he left the set in some kind of factory calibraion mode because the...

Would it be wise to buy the Avia calibration disk on Ebay or is that too risky? I can get one for bout $25.00. Thanks,

;) Well, they don't get any newer than this! (my first post). I've been lurking for the past month while I made up my mind on what HDTV to buy. Finally took delivery of my new Hitachi 43FWX20B from Sears today and so far I'm liking it just fine. Here are some comments which may be of interest to...

I'm about to buy a widescreen TV and would like to know what size 16:9 I need to buy to have the screen size be at least 36"diagonal when viewing 4:3 programming in natural (non-stretched) mode? I seem to remember a website that has a chart or a formula for calculating this for all size screens...

I just hooked up a pair of 1980s ADS L1590/2 towers as the main speakers in my HT. They sound awsome in stereo mode and also really good in HT but when I use the test tone (pink noise?) from my Onkyo TS DX595 to try and calibrate the system the left speaker sounds different from the right one...

I've just been given a pair of '80s ADS L1590/2 towers. They sound awsome behind my Yamaha M65 Power amp at 170 watts RMS/channel. I'd like to use them as the mains in my Home Theater which is powered by an Onkyo TS DS595 which puts out a clean 75 watts RMS/channel. These speakers have dual 10"...

I've just inhereted a great pair of ADS 1590/2 tower speakers that I want to put to use as the left/rights in my home theater system. They are monsters with dual 10" woofers. Problem is, they are very hungry speakers and I'm concerned about trying to drive them with my Onkyo TX-DS595 at only 75...

I'm waiting on my new JVC HR-S7800 Super VHS VCR to arrive and went to BB yesterday to purchase some Super VHS tapes. I noticed that they sell T120, T160, & even T180s. Just wondered if the old concern of long tapes sometimes causing feeding problems in VCRs is still an issue? Or, should even...

I'm having trouble setting font size. Whenever I send a new thread the font size is huge and I have to edit the message after it is posted. I would like to set up a default font and size that would be used for all my posts. How do I do this?

After reading several threads on this forum I've decided to replace my old VHS Deck with a new Super VHS JVC. One question I'd like answered, though. I've got a lot of purchased pre-recorded VHS movies and a lot of other stuff recorded from TV broadcasts. Will the new Super VHS player play...

My HT setup is centered around my new Onkyo TX-DS595. I've decided to use vintage speakers to begin with and would be interested in how some of you feel about vintage speakers compared to modern ones. My speaker setup consists of a pair of Wharfedale W35s in front. These are walnut bookshelf...

In setting up my speakers on my new Onkyo 595 I'd like some recommendations on whether to use the "small" or "large" settings with my particular setup. Here's my setup: Onkyo TX-DS595 Front speakers - Vintage Wharfedales 8" Woof, 4" Mid, 2"Tw Center - Infinity - Dual 5" plus tweeter...
