While watching the Grammys I would get some pixelation during performances that used strobes or any quickly flashing lights. I have noticed this while watching other shows as well, specifically with HD feeds. Basically, it looks like the screen is filled with a bunch of squares. I have a...

Forgive me if this has already been discussed. I used the search function but came up empty. Have any of you experienced a problem with not being able to play the dvd The Aviator? This is what happens. When selecting the option to play movie, the player starts for about two seconds then...

I am in need of upgrading my sub, since my POS Sony 35w just doesn't do the job. I have done plenty of research and am considering the Dayton from parts express. All indications are the Dayton is a good performer in its price range. I considered some of the other top performers, SVS, but...

If an entertainment room is fully carpeted, would it be better to have a front firing sub? Or does it really make a difference? Tod

After two failed attempts of in-home service and two at the shop, I finally have my tv back after being down for two and a half months. Now there are some new problems that weren't there when the tv went in. Will not do auto-convergence and some bowing of the signal. (top and bottom of the...

Being in need of a center channel, I came across a new, in the box, cerwin-vega RL-25C for twenty bucks. (Just couldn't pass it up for that price) My question is this. Its rated at 6ohms nominal, will there be a problem incorporating this into my system? Pio VSX-810, JBL HLS-610s all the way...

I currently have a budget of $200 to purchase a DVD player. I would like to get a player that also does DVD-A and/or SACD. Since I consider my home theater system middle of the road, I find it hard to justify spending anything higher. My system components are a Pio VSX810 receiver, RCA...

This may sound like a stupid question but here goes. If both my DVD player and my AV receiver both have a built in DD & DTS decoder, how do I specify which component does the decoding? Or, is this an irrelevant question and it does not matter. The two components are a JVC XV-M567 DVD and a...

I have a Sony STR-DE635 receiver that went into protection mode. After cycling power there is no sound output from the speakers. Since it is past the warranty period I took the cover off an noticed two blown 1.5 amp fuses were blown. I replaced these and turned the power on and they blew...

I have an RCA HD61W140 which has a buit-in OTA hd tuner. While watching a football game on FOX yesterday, I noticed that it was being broadcast in 16:9 at 720p. However, the actual picture was in 4:3 format with the black bars on the side. I then switched to the US open on CBS and it was...

I recently purchased an RCA Scenium HD61W140 RPTV with the built in off air tuner. I am able to receive HD broadcasts through the use of a VHF/UHF Antennae. Unfortunately my cable company does not transmit HD, but is in the process of BETA testing the HD cable boxes. At this point I am unwilling...

After purchasing an RCA Scenium HD61W140 RPTV, I stumbled across this website in search of information. I must say that it is chock full of information, recommendations and opinions. I have read posts regarding calibrating a RPTV. I was unaware that this procedure should be done. Can someone...
