I have a Toshiba 56" WH 08 B Rear Projector Television.

The main problem that I have been trying to address for the past month is the fact that when you switch the power button on the audio or visual does not appear, however the Front LED flashes Red to Green continuously

We changed the power supply to no avail even though the High voltage appears but then the protection circuit kicks in.

Otherwise the set is in very good condition, the tubes are in good nick, no signs of fading.

Any suggestions as to which board this may be on?

Thanks in advance ]]> CRT Televisions Toshiba56 http://www.avforums.com/forums/crt-televisions/1130090-toshiba-56-crt-wh-08b.html Lip-syncing help needed! http://www.avforums.com/forums/av-amplifiers-receivers/1130089-lip-syncing-help-needed.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 21:06:12 GMT Hi, I hope somebody in the know will be able to help me here.

I've had trouble since day one trying to get my SkyHD viewing to match the audio in terms of lip syncing, I know sometimes a quick up and down of the channels seems to reset it but I wondered if there's more I can do.

I have Sky+ HD connected to my Samsung LE40556A LCD tv with a chord hdmi cable, the audio goes to my Arcam AVR280 via QED optical cable.

I can set Sky to delay the sound via the optical, but i need it to catch up with the video! I would put the video signal through the Arcam receiver but I don't know if this would slow it down to match the sound better or not. I only have 2 hdmi inputs and I use one for PS3 and one for Xbox 360, plus as the Receiver is incapable of decoding audio over HDMI as I understand it I think I'm getting a better picture connecting the Sky HD directly to the TV.

Any suggestions or solutions would be much appreciated, it's really spoiling my viewing pleasure.

Thanks in advance

I was in house alone so put on the 5.1 for a change.

Have to say it does a superb job of recreating the movies atmosphere, sounds are great, hearing someone scream, 'help get me out' from behind my settee was freaky.

Alot of the gameplay is dark so your given a lighter thats perfect in lighting up just enough to see where your steppig but not enought to light up the whole room and take away the scare factor.

The puzzles are ok, bit easy up to now, but when you only have 1 min before your head is blown off, the speed factor makes puzzles really tense.

Other inmates are scarey enough and make you jump, but heres teh massive down point, combat is shocking, really shocking. But it doesnt happen much so i'll let em off.

So only bout 1 hr in but it does a really good job up to now. ]]> Xbox 360 Games oasismark http://www.avforums.com/forums/xbox-360-games/1130088-saw-video-game.html Wanted : SKY BOX http://www.avforums.com/forums/electrical-goods-classified-adverts/1130087-wanted-sky-box.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 21:02:41 GMT Anybody got a Pace Sky Box they want rid of ?

First question would be, is it better off getting a plasma or lcd for the size i want? The TV will mainly be for watching SKYHD/Movies, PS3 and 360 will be played on it but rarely since they will be connected upstairs.

I have a max of £2500 to spend on a tv so want it to be pretty good so what would you people recommend in that price range?

Just away to start wiring up my extension in preparation for cinema set-up, but don't know what type of wiring required for a sub-woofer.

I've ordered a Pioneer VSX-LX52 and looking at the Monitor Audio Radius 370 sub woofer which will be paired to my Monitor Audio Gold in-wall speakers.

Do I run normal speaker cable or something else?
