Thanks for the response Arthur. I agree the plasma is top of the line for SD viewing, but I can not get past the glossy screen on plasmas. I find myself focusing on the reflections. I also agree that the Sony 50A10 is an awesome TV. It is on my short list, along with the JVC D-ila, both of which...
Please help. I realize each RPTV technology has good and bad features. The subject line reveals the important features in my decision to buy a RPTV. I will watch SD/analog mostly and would like very good PQ on basic input. I like crisp accurate colors. I want good black levels, low refective...
Been lurking for a while gathering info on selection of 50-52" RPTV. I have seen many comments on poor PQ when watching SD. What is the best format (LCD, DLP, LCoS, Dila, etc.) for viewing SD signal? Any difference between brands? Thanks for your help
For those of you that didn't already reach this conclusion, this forum rocks!!! Paul Dyer suggested the fast forward "secret" to get BOTW to skip the lock up, and he is absolutely right. Paul, I would love to buy you a beer, a large iced tea, or something. Thanks!!!! :D
Got my JBL's from J&R. Good prices, free shipping and they are an authorized JBL dealer. I know that because my PB12 died after 8 months, and was repaired under warranty. Highly recommend J&R. You can go to the JBL web site to see if a dealer is authorized.
If I could get out from under my PB12 I would do it in a heartbeat. It is a good sub, but there are other good subs out there without the amp problem. I contacted JBL to see if they would extend my sub electronics a year from the repair date (which was 8 months from purchase), and they said they...
I love my JBL set up, and think the PB12 is an under-rated sub. It is tight, and rocks my H.T. room . . . but, my sub lasted 8 months before the amplifier died last month. JBL repaired the amp under warranty, and I asked them to extend the warranty on the sub electronics. They said the...
Wow Paul, I hope this works for me!!! I just tried the DVD in my neighbor's Yamaha DVD player and it worked fine, and he asked if he could watch the movie tonight. So . . . I can't try your "trick" till tomorrow. Thanks a bunch!! :)
My Toshiba SD4700 DVD player refuses to play the TVA Films 3 disc version of Brotherhood of the Wolf. The player will display the "Warning" screen in English and French, and then will lock up. I must power down the unit before it will play other DVD's. Other DVD's play fine. Anybody else...
My PB12 has had the dreaded and oft reported internal amp failure. Since it is less than a year old JBL repaired the amp under warranty. According to the paper work there were two capacitors replaced. Has anyone experienced a second failure? If so, what is JBL doing about the second failure if...
The cable box is GI - I think it is General Industries, or something like that. My Denon 1802 is an amp/receiver. The digital TV has Right & Left RCA ports that are labeled "Audio out to Hi-Fi". The audio outs from the cable box are also RCA's. There are no other audio outs on the box. I tried...
I have a Denon 1802 amp and a Hitachi 53" TV. I ran RCA cables from the TV to the amp so I could control amp volume with TV volume via the TV remote. Yesterday I had digital cable installed in my house, and the new cable box had RCA outs on the box that were intended to connect to the amp. So, I...
I contacted JBL and was advised that BestPriceAudioVideo was not an authorized retailer, although the salesman at BestPrice assured me that they were authorized. Caveat emptor.
ELmo,
"I always wondered who needs 25 feet of cable for a DVD playe to TV...so I ask you, how do ya need 17 feet? "
I have bookshelves on the front wall of my home theater room. The space between the bookshelves will not accomodate my 53" Hitachi, my JBL Studio Series 312 towers, and a rack...
I posted this question under "Audio / Visual sources" and realized it probably should be posted here . . . I was told a component cable set from Monster is only available in length up to 2 meters. Is this accurate? Are there suppliers that will custom fab component cables longer than 2...
I was told by a Monster Cable salesperson that the max length for a component cable set is 2 meters. Is this statement accurate? Can component cables be ordered in lengths longer than 2 meters from other cable companies?
Thanks for any help. ;)
Highly recommend J&R. Good prices - price matched a Toshiba 4700 DVD player - free shipping on JBL - fast delivery - good packaging. I will buy from them again!!
I have used DryWash-n-Guard exclusively on my '99 Corvette. It has 13,000 miles and has never been washed with water! Once the car has a few coats of Dry Wash, typical road grime, bugs, dust, etc., simply wipe off with a rag that is wetted with Dry Wash (or water) and buff with a towel to...
One of my favorite vacation places. It is not your typical tourist destination, because it is not on the ocean. Wrightsville Beach is 20 minutes away, and is a wonderful beach with really cool sea shells. It also, is uncrowded as compared with Myrtle Beach, etc. The battleship USS North...
"The biggest downfall of the C5 is that since it IS a transaxle, there isn't room for a spare tire. So all 97 and newer vettes must have run-flat tires on them."
The C5 ZO6 Corvette does not have the run-flat tires. They are equipped with a high performance standard sidewall tire, and...
Had the surgery a looooong time ago, and it was a breeze. I recommend wearing an athletic supporter or bike shorts after the surgery. . . something to give the "boys" some support, cause it will take a lot of strain off the tender area. I am not a pro wrestler or anything like that, but I...
