Thanks RLA! Thanks for responding. As you can tell, I was very upset with the situation, and myself. Thankfully, the situation has gotten much better. I realised that the remote commander wasn't working very well, and some functions not at all. I called Sony and ordered a new remote commander...

Boy, did I screw up... Tried to fine adjust my picture with controls I had no business screwing with. Now, when the crosshair is up, the red line is bent terribly at the top and bottom and I only have convergence at the middle of the screen. The picture is virtually unwatchable. Can anyone help...

I agree with the concensus. Nak made the BEST cassette decks and car audio HUs in the business, but their quality has slipped. I still own an RX-505 auto reverse cassette deck ( for those who may remember, it was the one that physically flipped the tape when changing sides, so as not to change...

Let us know how it works with your new projector.

Thanks very much for the help. I think I'm going to build a frame and an attachable mask. I think I know how I want to do it... :)

I just bought a house that has a crt projector and screen. The screen is a pull-down type. When down, it has waves (for lack of a better word) in places extending fron the outside edges toward the middle. How would you suggest I stretch the screen? Is there a way to make the screen rigid, or am...

OK, I'll bite. What's the Wizard of OZ thing?

Sounds incredible! I read the attached article with GREAT interest. I have wondered for some time when ( and how ) someone would solve the problem of mathematically averaged processing to eliminate standing and reflected soundwaves through the entire listening area. I'm a firm believer in...

Thanx BMXTRIX! Hi BMXTRIX. Once again your analysis is much appreciated. :) One last question. If the line quad is operating correctly, is it putting out 960p to the Sony? Its probably a stupid question, and if so, I apologize.

In reading many threads about speakers, I notice no mention of ribbon or planar speakers for HT. Are such speakers--Magnepans, for example-- not suited for HT? I've heard several Maggies ( models MMG, 1.2 and 1.6, to be exact) and for music they are amazing. Great 'air', depth, tonal qualities...

Hi BMXTRIX, and thank you for your help. I actually understood most of what you wrote :D . I realize that the technology is old, but it still has a suprisingly good picture. As you advise, I will probably Ebay it within the next year, or two. But, in the mean time I'd like to try for true HD...

:confused: I just bought a house that has a Sony VPH-1270Q CRT projector in it. Have any of you had any experience with 1270Q's? Are/were they dependable? Any problems I need to watch for? The previous owner has a line quadrubler connected. Specs say that the 1270Q should be HD capable, but how...

How about "Plan 9 from Outer Space"? Cardboard tombstones, hubcap flying saucers on strings... it really was the worst. Also, my daughter made me sit and watch "Santa Conquers the Martians"!?! Torture. Absolute TORTURE!!! :(

Try 'Independence Day'. The scene where the alien spaceship's shadow moves across the moon made my huge clock fall off the wall, hit my mantle, flip over and land on the floor! All I could say was "Cool..." :D

My Favorites: The Beatles The Stones The Who Jimi Hendrix Eric Clapton Honorable mention: Led Zeppelin Bruce Springsteen Aerosmith Pink Floyd Stevie Ray Vaughn Third team: AC/DC Rush Deep Purple Electric Light Orchestra Blondie Best of the rest: Bob Dylan Frank Zappa...

I voted for Marantz. To my ears, they sound reasonably musical and accurate. Onkyo and Dennon sound pretty good, too. But, Dennon seems a little subdued, lacking a little real-time dynamic response. To be honest, I miss my old Carver receiver. It was the best for the money I've ever found.

Great Choices! Great choices for 'Best Live' album. You can certainly make a case for any of them. How about some of these? (in no particular order...) Led Zeppelin-- The Song Remains the Same Velvet Underground-- Live From Max's Kansas City Jimi Hendrix-- Live at Berkley Lynyrd...

Best ever? In reading all of the posts to this point, I agree with those who say that there is no way to single out one 'greatest rock album' of all time. If you are going to try, make sure you are rating the album as a single entity, not the body of work of that artist as a whole. Here are a...
