    What is the Danger?

    That's funny. Is there such a thing as a Yugo machanic? I thought you just threw those cars away once the little mouse in the wheel died. :) David, You never said how well the surround worked after the cable install. Does the 14ga work ok for you? How did it sound? Thanks, Mike

    What is the Danger?

    I forgot to mention, Bob had some very good suggestions before. Quote: Do not run in parallel with power wires. Keep the wires apart if possible and if you have to cross some power wires, try to do it at a 90 degree angle. This is very true. Power wires generate a lot of noise. I found...

    What is the Danger?

    Hey David, It’s all pretty confusing, huh? I don’t know if your question was answered in one of the previous post, but “conductor” simply means wire. In other words, “4 conductor” means 4 wires or two pair. I had a really heavy 4(wire) conductor 10gage braided copper wire that I used for my...

    Please point me towards the best tv review sites......

    This one is pretty good. http://audioreview.com/defaultcrx.aspx The CNET and Epinions sites are also good, but not used as much as I thought. Just some ideas, but I agree, the forums are the best source. I've been searching for and looking at big screen options for almost two years now...

    DVI and Firewire can we convert to Component, making us not need a new tv?

    I'm not sure if this will help and I really don't know if this is the right type of cable, but it maybe worth looking into if you have a DVI source and only component inputs. http://www.projector.com/kore/catalo...D/product.html Let us know if this works for you. Thanks, Mike

    Anti-Reflective(AR) Screen Cleaning

    I have some questions about cleaning a big screen TV AR protective screen. The Sony WV700's, as do several tv's, have a plexiglass protective screen. Several of them also have the AR coating on them as well which makes cleaning a challenge. If you don't use the right type of cloth or if you use...

    Authorized Dealer Warranty?

    Ok, I was told that if I don't buy my new Sony big screen TV from an "Authorized Sony Dealer", internet or locally, that Sony will not honor the One Year manufacturer’s warranty! IS THIS TRUE, or just some line that the Crutchfield sales guy was feeding me to get me to buy from them? What’s...

    Sony SXRD: Friend or Foe?

    Has anyone actually seen or read anything about this new technology that is suppose to be released this summer? How will it compare to the current LCD based XBR800 series? Quotes from TWICE.COM: The SXRD micro display produces over 2 million pixels (1,920 by 1,080 pixels) of picture data...

    What Electronics are YOU Interested In?

    Well since I'm here, I'll be in the market for a RPTV, preferably the Sony WV700, in the next few months. An HD receiver is a cool idea, but I won't be able to afford one of those for a while after the TV purchase. :) I'm heavy into wood working as a hobby outside of computer networking and...

    (Sony RPTV's) Is it safe to go back in the water?

    First off, I'm a huge Sony fan and have been for several years. That said, I've been in the market for a Sony RPTV for about two years. I've put off my purchase because I wanted the prices on the newer DVI capable models to come down a little before committing. My question is about the...

    How long is too long?

    I'm building an entertainment system for my "soon to own" Sony 57WV700 and I want to move my sub to the other side of the room. Going behind, up, over, and down will most likely be a good 50ft. Can anyone tell me if this will work and if so, what kind of wire to use? I was thinking RG6 Coax with...
