    Frustrated with new plasma

    What you're saying is that people that buy new TVs and don't know anything about DIY calibration CD and DVD exist which the majority don't, they're all watching TVs with a crappy picture? That doesn't make any sense, you don't make any sense and further more you surely need to take a CEDIA...

    Good start in the right direction

    Jeff, I have experienced the same thing myself, especially in large electronic stores, that most of the TVs on display look like crap except one or two, why's that? Those TVs nicely calibrated with a fantastic High Definition picture show, those TVs are the ones the store wants to sell in...

    Frustrated with new plasma

    Jeff, the way you describe it, sounds like when you get the plasma out of the box you better calibrate it immediately otherwise the plasma TV will blow up. In 30 years in the TV businness, I never took a TV out of the box that was set to dangerous levels to a point that could arm the TV set...

    Vertical green stripe runing down my screen...

    J, the problem is not related to the Matrix or R-G-B color output circuitry thinking that if the Red & Blue output colors quit working, the Green color becomes dominant. There has been some reports of Power Boards failure on some Panasonic professional and consumer model Plasmas since last...

    Frustrated with new plasma

    Vancouver, congratulations on your new TH-42PX20 Panasonic Plasma TV. Usually a brand new TV should come out of the box already adjusted to factory specifications and it shouldn't be touched too much. As you know a large screen TV as it is yours, should be viewed from a certain distance...

    How do I connect an equalizer

    I agree with zumbo, the idea of using an equilizer with you HT set up it doesn't seem to be a workable solution for obtaining a better tailored sound and have more control of your bass. Usually equilizers excell in large venues sound systems set up, theater's stages, rock concerts sound set up...

    surge protector question

    Most HT receivers have protection circuits (circuit breakers or fuses). You can plug any piece of equipment directly to a wall outlet including computers and they will work, but they will not be protected from AC voltage fluctuations and current spikes, that's why you need a voltage suppressor...

    speaker magnet question

    We usually cover the inside lateral walls of the speakers and fasten it with staples or if you can't use the staple gun because of lack of space, you can use flat head short nails, like the ones shoemakers use or even thumb nails will do. The foil works very well, you can even have the...

    DVD Cleaner?

    Actually your best bet is to keep your DVDs clean, so you don't have to clean the lens that much. Every 3 months if you're using your DVD player a lot and every six months for a normal usage. This lens cleaner seems to be one of the better ones, it costs a little more in comparison to the...
