Customer Feedback, from the horses mouth, unsolicited
Hi,
Thanks for your imformation i've looked at the Buying Guide at am quite
impressed, it very comprehensive am gives a good coverage......
.....i take note it is important to have good cabling and
connections.

BG Response: Do you think the guide was worth the $9.95? (yes this part is solicited feedback, hey we could not resist :)?
"I think the $9.95 is good value for the report,
Douglas G. (of Lockleys, S.A)
I found the guide to be very informative.
I am a reasonably technincal person and the guide informed me a few things I wasunaware of.
The asking price for all the good information it contained was not too expensive.
Regards
Tony (of Manly Vale)
It certainly was worth the investment. I bought the guide and DVD (DVE).
The Guide
I am looking at HD plasma right now
....... The technical stuff at the front
of the guide is a good read. Not many people would know Aus and the USA
have different definitions for HD and SD.
The DVE
It got very technical regarding the TV/monitor adjustments. I did the
basic brightness/contrast/sharpness etc on my 68cm Sony during the show.
Very interesting. Can't wait to apply it to my plasma.
I have a Denon receiver and high end Denon player with 5.1 Klipsch
reference speakers. I ran the 5.1 audio tests through the speakers.
(Pink noise and 50Hz to 300Hz tests). The sub-woofer did not produce any
sound when the BluRay sent audio to the sub on the LFE (Low freq effects)
channel. It did come on during normal Dolby Digital effects. Have you
got any idea why the LFE channel would not drive the Sub. The Denon unit
comes with inbuilt audio tests and a microphone to auto adjust the
speaker levels and it drives the sub ok.

I think that the guide is informative and worth the $9.95 investment.
I feel that it was very smart that you took AMEX as a paynment method for me to
buy it in the bginning - if not, I wouldn't have bought it. Well Done.
I also bought the DVE for my upcoming Home Theatre installation - that was good
value.
I am 1/4 way through the buying guide - it is a lot to digest.
Regards,
Stephen (of Liverpool St, Syd)
The dvd has changed my overview of setting up tv's, it's fantastic.
Sam (Of Concord, NSW)
Thanks for the Plasma TV Buying Guide. I read it last night and I think
it has certainly helped me narrow down my options. The background data
that it provided will be very useful when making my final choice. It has
also changed my opinion (in a positive way) on the merits of having a
Digital STB.
....
Cheers and a congratulations again on a great publication.
Kerry L.
BG Reponse: Thank you for your feedback.
We would also like to add that recording Digital TV onto DVD from an inbuilt STB in a plasma could be an issue. The recording quality is restricted to the quality of the video output capabilities of the TV!
Dear Buying Guide Team,
I am in the market for HD TV and have been finding the guide very
useful, many thanks...
Thanks,
Ian
