Finally got my KP57WS500 fixed to rid the Green HUE problem.. 2 weeks later my 27" WEGA dies out. Ive had the TV about 2 years now without an extended warranty. TV was on and perfect then Just shut off. I did not notice any discoloration or any other issues until this. We had just moved...
When ghosting occurs, what usually is happening is, your local stations signal is being picked up in your cable line due to a defective connection or cable. This is called ingress. You can call your local cable company to have them correct this... usually free of charge.
Is this legal? :frowning:
Am I going to be banned for this???

I have prepared the following guide to aid those who own the WS500 series Sony Rear Projection Television (RPTV). Yes, they are known for being great out of the...
I found a bunch of stuff at a Sony Tweaks spot on
Yahoo Groups.. Theyve got a lot of stuff on there you all might want to check it out...
For those of you who havent been there:
Here's a link...
Rain... I remember reading about you having problems and returning your Sony ??
If your TV has a MONITOR OUT jack, you can take cables from there and hook up to a spare input on the Onkyo. You would then switch the TV's audio to Fixed or Variable. hope this helps.
Do you remember ever seeing a white volume bar on the top of your screen? And occasionally seeing ones at the bottom possibly green? The cable box has its own volume control and needs to be set and locked on stereo. Once that is done, there is a way to force the remot control to just control...
Just got a PE 300-794 amp.. now what? My objective not only is to feel and hear those low frequencies you all are raving about but also for the gratification of building a monster. My baby 100W powered 8" driver just doesnt deliver. I was thinking of either a Traditional or Sonotube...
A lot of the times, its an issue with defective cable or connections. With the lower channels being affected it can also be ingress.. where the local stations satellite signal is being picked up causing a duplicate image or just poor reception. Sometimes just a weak signal can also cause...
I dont know if that is actually a good thing to do. i believe that the audio tracks have specific sounds for each left and right surrounds and the receiver processes it accordingly. If you were to just run 1 wire, and splice to both speakers, you would get the same sound out of both speakers...
I was in the same situation about a week ago. I own a sony 27" wega and now a KP-57WS500. I love the picture on a direct view but to me, the big screen effect is just not there, even on the 40" XBR at the stores. My only problem with the RPTV now is the reflection. Viewing in the daytime in...
It turns out that the only time I had this problem was when I was listening to the radio/tuner. Probably not geting a good signal. With all the other sources, everything seems to be okay. Stupid mistake... Sorry. Thanks for the replies.:frowning:
Thanks David for the how to on the red push. I tried it out and looks good! Theres a THX calibration deal on the Toy Story DVDs that I've been using. Theres a test on there and it shows that my horizontal may be a bit too far to the left (missing the left bar on the rectangle). Does anyone...
Just got my KP-57WS500, now what? What are some of the things I should try to avoid or do? This thing is huge. i alomost feel like I should have bought the 51. What modes do you guys use for different types of sources?
I have a Denon 1802. The only adjustments that I can make are for each channel. No "fader" or "balance" on this. Thanks Joshua for clarifying that for me.
Thanks for the input! I got a coupon in the mail for 10% off at Best Buy and it expires today. More than likely I wont be getting any sleep tonight knowing Ill have a new TV delivered soon! Thanks again for helping out.
Anyone know the better of the two? I thought I knew wich one I wanted until today. I didnt know that the HW40 existed. The difference I see while comparing the specs is the WS500 has 3:2 pulldown and DVI interface. Is there more or is this what I get for $500 more? Best Buy has HW40 for $1999...
Ive had my setup for a few months now and Ive used my complete surround system everyday since. Im pretty sure Ive gone thru the break in period and now have a problem.
From the beginning Ive been told to get the calibration disc and SPl meter but havent only because I've been content with the...
Im had the same trouble deciding on which to go for also. so far Im leaning towards the 57WS500 mosty because Im very happy with the Sony Wega I have now. At best buy I did see the Tosh 50h82 and the Sony 51WS500 right next to each other.. I did see a better pic quality on the 50H82 but dont...
