- I recently purchased a Sony KE50XS910 plasma tv. The description of the product says it has a built-in ATSC/POD tuner for HD broadcast. I have the Sony SATHD-300 HD DirecTv receiver as well as a HD receiver from my local cable company. Do I still need all these HD receivers? Does it matter that they are all connected to a unit with a built-in tuner? Thanks for the help.

- I want to purchase SONY KE-42XBR950 and bring it back to Indonesia, but we have PAL & 220V, Can the sony xbr still be used? I can puchase a DVDO iScan Ultra to convert the Pal to NTSC or HD but what I want to know, will the step down voltage converter will affect the picture quality?
- Which is a better model TV? The SONY KDE-42XBR950 or the KE42XS910 Thanks.
- NMy husband and I live in Japan and we want to purchase a Sony Plasma tv. It is 110 power here, but we understand frequencies between Japan and the states vary, so if we buy a Plasma tv here and use it, then move back to the states and try to use it there, it may not work. Is this true? Of course, we only want to buy the plasma tv if we can use it in both locations since it is such a high cost entertainment system. Thank you for your advice. Sincerely, Lynn Gaylord
- I have Sony PFM42V1E when watching films the picture moves slightly to the right then back again every couple of seconds is this normal. If the plasma has progressive does it matter that the tv tuner I am using does not?
- The Sony 37XS910 is almost 12 inches deep. Why so thick and can it be wall mounted?

Unfortunately, burn in is something that can not be repaired. Some units have features built in that will pose a negative of the image to clear any temporary ghosting. Also some have an intense white screen to "erase" the ghosting.

You need the SAT HD300 receiver for decoding of the DirecTV broadcast. That unit as well as the media receiver for the XBR can decode OTA HD broadcasts. So you can choose which ever is easier for you to utilize if you are taking advantage of the free airwaves. The built in tuner is not beneficial for satellite reception as you need the satellite receiver.

The surge protector and warranty are good insurance ideas. An AC Line conditioner or filter is only required if you power is unstable or has a lot of noise.

You are correct, the U = US and E = Europe. There are very little differences between those models.

If you have a DVD with DVI, that would be the best picture. Otherwise, using a special break-out cable with a VGA D-sub 15 pin connection on one end and three RCA component connections on the other, will be the best alternative. That would use the PC input on the plasma and the component output on the DVD player.

A good quality step down voltage transformer will not affect picture quality.

Sony's top of the line product is the always their XBR series. The 42XBR out performs the XS910. However, the 42XBR950 may not be the best fit for you with the separate media receiver box. There is no media receiver box for the 42XS910, all of the connections are run directly to the plasma screen.

I would research the power specifications of the unit you are interested in purchasing. Sony units are made in Japan and I believe most will work there. In any event, look for a unit that operates from 100-120V and 50-60Hz.

This does not sound normal. I would suggest calling Sony's technical support, as they may be able to diagnose the problem.

You will find the depth of 12 inches include the table stand, while the plasma panel is only a 3-4" deep.
