is anyone else watching this and thinking "pink floyd... comfortably numb..."

as you all know ( and are proberbly sick of me posting about it) my sanyo 32" LCD TV is not HD READY and has no HDMI input/outputs but it does have a HD resolution. and.... i have JUST READ THIS FROM SKY... "Provided your TV has a minimum native resolution of 720 lines and will support 720p/50 or 1080i/25 · (WHICH MINE DOES =Resolution 1366 x 768 (WXGA))

I have just bought my first AV (Audio/Visual) receiver, a Yamaha RX-V357. I have connected up the sound, and can now get my TV, Sky, DVD and VCR through the six speakers. But I am having trouble understanding the benefit of putting the picture through the Receiver. Currently all the devices (Sky, DVD and VCR) are connected to the TV via scart sockets.

I bought a second hand one of these about 18 months ago and although it's had little use - about 100 hours - all it will give is a red/pink screen with SVid, composite and component input. Is this the lcd panel giving up the ghost and if so, is it worth getting it repaired. Thanks in advance

I recently purchased a Samsung 42" plasma (PS42S5H) but each time I switch between channels on my Sky+ box, I have to manually tell the TV how to display the image - 4:3 or 6:9. I found that I was constantly switching between aspect ratios to get the TV to display the image correctly (not squeezed or squashed) so I contacted the manufacturer via their web-site. Samsung initially told me that this...

Dear all, I suspect this may have been done to death (and if so, apologies) and I daresay there is no clear cut answer, but I am new to this debate and need to make a decision on a new TV very soon. It will be a 32" set. Some arguments that I'm vaguely aware of a-

I am torn between two LCDs, the Philips 32pf9967 and tosh 32wlt58, both have pros and cons over the other but both would meet my requirements. Primary use for watching 'normal tv' and Sky+ with occasional DVD. Any comments on which is best? Cheers Gary

sanyo have just released this... http://www.sanyo.co.uk/Scripts/hsrun.exe/Distributed/NF_iFramework_UK/StateId/CfJtNhHkqOn-0hR7c450q4HZZXnTG-V8Kv/HAHTpage/HS_F6_Main?PageID=1199 bloody tw@'s surely, ALL new production TV's should have HD capabilty! sorry, just having a rant becasue i bought a NON HD ready tv!

On the back of my Sony KV-28FX60U TV are 2 audio connection options - 1) Standard red & white RCA phonos, to go to a Hi-Fi / Amp (Labelled L/G/S/I and R/D/D/D) 2) 2 external speaker terminals, 2-pin DIN (Also labelled L/G/S/I and R/D/D/D) I've scoured the manual, and there's virtually no information about either of these audio options.

Hi there As per previous thread where my panasonic tv is about to expire, perhaps I'll jump on the LCD/Plasma bandwagon. I only want 32" maximum, have small living room so dont want it to take over the house, so LCD seems the likely option. I also presume I should get one that is HD ready, but wonder how much that adds to the price. Cheers

Hi, My folks had the Denon 3300 for about 5 years with no problems. A couple of days ago they called and complained that they were getting sound but no picture on the television. The Denon serves as a switch for composite and svhs (DVD, VCR, DirecTv reciever, LD player) As a quick fix I told them to route a composite cable quickly from the Directv reciever to the TV directly. When I came home...

Hi My X1 has started making a grinding noise. It changes pitch with the colour wheel speed (ie when I switch between PAL and NTSC) so I assume it's something to do with that rather than the fans. I've taken the whole projector apart (it's out of warranty) and blown away any dust but it's still there. It happened a couple of times before but went after a few seconds so I'd

Hi there I am looking for a DVD recorder to be used as a replacement for my vcr, but also to back up mini dv camcorder tapes. Panasonic's most basic recorder with the dv input seems to be the DMRES20. I like Panasonic because of the time slip thing and chasing playback that DVDRAM allows. However, will discs recorded on this machine play on other players - some reviews seem to indicate yes,...

I fear my 6 year old Pansonic tv (CRT) is about to break. It has started making an annoying whistling noise that increases in volume the longer it stays on, yet is intermittent. Do you think the tube is about to die, or is this something that could be fixed with fitters standard toolkit? (hammer)

Does anyone know where I can get connectors for speakers to plug into Sony DAV-S300 home cinema pakage? My room is already has hidden speaker wires ready for connection and would like to make use of them. Please note i do not have the original speaker cables/connectors. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

The recent debate on mains cables improving your sound/picture (or not) got me wondering whether other techie hobbies are also blessed with similar pseudo science claims? For example, having an interest in digitial photography I am not aware of anyone pedalling strange add ons that in some mysterious way improve my camera's picture taking ability. Or have I just not come across them yet (I...

Anyone recommend any budget projectors? I'd mainly use it for computer stuff and watch the odd DVD from my laptop. It'd be nice to get an XGA one - what's the cheapest these are going for? Anything else I should think about? Stuart

Is there such a thing, or if you want to go to HD, do you have to leave CRT behind? Cheers andyt
