I've finally "finished" my system and am enjoying surround sound for the first time. Totally Awesome! While setting it up I found that I can choose the speaker impedence settings on my receiver. My speakers will operate at all the different choices (4, 6 & 8 ohms). Receiver power is only...

If you haven't already, how about reviewing some of HK's new equipment? Like the digital AVR, the DPR 1001?

Christina, I'm a new owner (since 12/20) of the 51swx20b and I love it! And I haven't had an ISF calibration yet! Haven't really noticed any significant glare problems. Whether that's due to the screen, my set placement or a combination of the two I can't say. Since I haven't compared the model...

I agree with Tim on this issue being a little hard to swallow but it sounds like we have the good old free market system (supply & demand) hard at work here! The ISF calibration guys are simply charging whatever they can get from the market they are in. That's why the same house that costs $50K...

Jan, Great advice for the time being, thanks! :emoji_thumbsup: It just amazes me that progressive scan is said to be the "best thing" to have in DVD players if you want "the best" picture on a high quality TV. However in practice (in my case at least)the opposite seems to be true. I guess I'm...

Greg, Thanks for your reply! I guess I will have to invest in this Avia disk I've been reading about. I am getting an ISF calibration in the near future. Once that's done do you still use the Avia disk? And if so how frequently does one do that? Larry

Greg, Thanks for your reply! Here's what I know from talking with their sales people. I was told it would take 2-3 hours and they check and adjust numerous parameters, color, gray scale, focus, etc. I specifically picked these people as their ad stated they are ISF certified. When speaking...

Scott/Steve, Thanks for your input. The TV model I have is the 51SWX20B. And unfortunately I'm afraid I'm stuck with this player for awhile. I can't (in good conscience) go ditching a gift from my son and daughter-in-law weeks after receiving it. :frowning: I'm hoping that this TV calibration...

I've been wondering exactly what are considered the "proper" levels of contrast, color and brightness? I realize you may want to change these slightly depending upon the content you're viewing but what exactly is considered "normal?" (assuming your set has been properly calibrated). Larry

I'm new at this home theater stuff and after reading enough articles to make me dangerous (along with some other issues) decided to schedule an ISF calibration on my new set. I was shocked when told it would cost $275.00 :angry: but scheduled it anyway. After reading Bill's reply ($400-$600)I...

I've got several questions so please bear with me. Santa was very good to me this year. In the form of a 51" Hitachi HD RPTV. My oldest son and his wife bought me a DVD player (my first one) and here (I think) is where my questions/troubles begin. It's an off brand progressive scan model...
