    Thoughts on Sharp Aquos

    Hello everyone: I am thinking of getting a Sharp Aquos 46D64U. Wondering if any forum members have a view on Sharp Aquos LCD TVs. I read something about a 'banding' problem. Is this a concern unique to Sharp? Thank you in advance.

    Is my Subwoofer working?

    Hello everyone, I have an SVS PB12-Plus SW and a Yamaha RXV 2700 receiver. I briefly disconnected my subwoofer, so that I can run the wire through the walls, and then connected it back again. I was doing a routine test to see if everything works. I went to the setup part of a couple of DVDs...

    Do I Really Need a Power Center ?

    Hello Everyone, My local store sales guy included a $500 Monster Power Center (model HTS 3600) in the HT quote he gave me (my total budget is about $10k). Do I really need to spend that money. They quote benefits like "smoothing" the voltage to my components?? Thank you!
