    Sony vs Mits RPTV

    I would say think twice about the Sony. I have the KP65WV600 and would not buy one again. It's been in the shop twice in less than 9 months. I work 6 days a week and go to school 3 days a week, plus ebay 7 days a week. I'm lucky if I get to watch one movie a week. So its not from overusage. So...

    Weightlifting question

    If the main focus is to get bigger biceps stay away from the e-z curl bar. Mike_d is right you will see in increase in size using one. It is not from the biceps getting bigger. When you use an e-z curl bar it puts your hand in a pronated position and stresses the brachialis. This muscle runs...

    Window tint to dim display?

    Walmart sells a static cling tint that should work. I wouldn't recommend using normal tint without using the soapy spray (a couple of drops of baby shampoo and water is normally used). Its only purpose is so you can maneuver the tint into place and then the solution is squeegied out. IR will...

    RP-62 help with remote/ no manual

    I bought a rp-62 as an open box with no manual for our family room. Setup was a snap and it works great. The only thing I haven't figured out is the 4 bottom buttons on the remote. A.srd, bass a/b, cinema, and d.enh. Panasonic doesn't offer the 62 manual for download. What do they do?

    Acoustic panels, how can you tell if they would help

    Thanks for the replies. I don't mind spending the money to improve the sound. I just want to make sure its going towards actual improvements. Rather than ask 1000 questions is there a site or keyword so I can learn what would be some appropriate steps to take. Thanks again Reid

    Acoustic panels, how can you tell if they would help

    How can you tell if acoustic panels would be of benefit? Besides the hand clap test there doesn't seem to be much info on how to test. We have our HT in the living room which is very large and opens into the rest of the house. Aside from making our great dane bark the hand clap didn't yield...

    Bench Press: What Am I doing wrong?

    Yet another possibility is your grip is too wide. The wider your grip is, the more your shoulders (anterior deltoid) is involved. The narrower your grip is, the more triceps are stressed. Also how often are you benching and how often do you go heavy. You may not be giving yourself enough...

    Auditioning the JM Labs 906 and a wire question

    Instead of going out to the local hi fi shop, I talked to a friend that works at local cable manufacturing plant. He said yeah I'll get you some 18 awg, 16 awg and 14awg. I thought he meant a hundred feet or so . Then came the fork lift with 3 spools of double insulated, solid core wire at about...

    Auditioning the JM Labs 906 and a wire question

    I went in specifically for the 906. At their suggestion also the Jamo 830. Take it for what its worth, with my limited experience, but try them both at home, then decide. I'd be curious with your results.

    Auditioning the JM Labs 906 and a wire question

    Went to a local shop to audition the 906's the other day. I noticed as they were disconnecting the Utopia's that they were using what looked like phone wire. They told me that it was double insulated solid core wiring and it was preferable to use this. Still being new to alot of this I was...

    Ideal setup

    I'm still new to this so excuse me if I use wrong terminology etc.. If your main interest is HT (with some music listening), and your speakers are set to small with a sub anyway, wouldn't it be ideal to buy 7 of the same high end bookshelves (2 ways) and a sub. You'd have complete timbre...

We use the dvd player for movies only and I'm wondering which audio out is preferable to use? 6 channel(5.1), digital coax out, or optical out. I currently have it setup with 6 channel but the receiver wont...
