    Thanks for the replies all! My polkaudio.com/downloads/manuals/home/RM33,53,73.pdf RMS-5400 Polk guide (specs on page 45) listed the smaller speakers as the fronts and the larger as the rears so I set them up that way. Didn't register with me that I coulda just swapped them. The lower end...

    KP51-WS500 - Flicker Started - Sony Covering In-home Repair

    Got my tubes replaced today. Took the tech approximately 2 hours to replace. My set did not need the resistor swap. Apparently some of the sets already had the resistor swap but the old CRT guns. Either way - my set is now flicker free! The tech was ISF certified and recommended using a...

    So after happily owning my KP51-WS500 for 11 months the flicker has begun. Sony has a bulliten listed on their page regarding this. They are extending their manufacturer warranties on the affected sets to get them repaired at zero cost to the customer. I called their service center and after...
