Best Buy lies in their ad about what they will do with their calibration!
The ad that promotes Best Buy calibration here:
http://images.bestbuy.com/BestBuy_US/en_US/images/abn/2008/tvv/pcon/BestBuy_HDTV_Calibration.pdf?h=4...
clearly states:
A calibration session
includes two inputs on
the set, so if you have a
DVD player and cable
box, for example, the
HDTV’s inputs will be
calibrated specifically
for the video output
from those two devices.
Calibration also
adjusts the sound levels
and positioning of the
speakers in a surroundsound setup, so your
entire home theater
will look and sound as
good as it can
The actual calibration you get is:
No Audio, just the picture!
The following are NOT included with this service:
Setup of audio or video components
You were warned!

This is right, calibration does not include setting up of audio or video components.  A calibration tech will makes sure, for instance, your 5.1 system has the speakers in the correct position.  If your rear-left is in the front soundstage, that can be corrected on site.  Most of what they do on site is run the auto-calibration software on an AV receiver if it has not already been done.  Other than that, you can opt to pay up to $800 for a full-fledged ISF or THX calibration from an independent calibrator.  You get a very good value for the $199.
The service provides a "video" calibration, not audio.
Well in that website link I provided and in the "First Glimpse" magazine they give you at the store, page 17, says they offer more than what you said:
Calibration also adjusts the sound levels and positioning of the speakers in a surroundsound setup, so your entire home theater will look and sound as good as it can.

    Return policy may be different from Apple's vs Best Buy. Regardless of crowds, only buy from Apple. Dealing with Best Buy in the future, if there's a problem it may not be worth what you believe to be a $40 savings.
    You can make an appointment in advance at the Genius Bar.

    Buying used GPIB/ENET100 card. What software must have with it to configure and use. Have LABView 7

    Actually, I believe the drivers that are available on the NI website are licened for upgrades only. If the hardware came with an NI-488.2 driver, you can upgrade that to the latest version with the link above.
    If your purchase did not include a software license (the hardware is sold separately from the hardware due to single- and multi-user license options), you need to purchase a license of NI-488.2.
    http://sine.ni.com/apps/we/nioc.vp?cid=10622〈=US
    The part numbers for the single and multi-user license for Windows are 778598-02 and 778598-01. Other operating systems are listed as well.
    If you have any confusion, you should contact NI to confirm licensing issues.

  • What Monitors WILL work with the Mac-Mini?

    If the new Mac-Mini does not put out analog video and Apple does not state this, what monitors will work with it?

    I was able to get an Apple Studio Display to work via the adapter in the Mac Mini box combined with that huge DVI to ADC adapter they had sold me years ago. In the Apple Store I really had to press them to assure me my display would work as they told me they'd charge me a re-stock fee if I had to bring the Mini back. I pressed the point that Apple should know if a monitor it made works with a computer it made. The rep asked around and we both searched the web and then she was able to confirm it would work. They really need a list of acceptable monitors. If anyone locates such a list, please let us all know!

  • What dongles will work with a macbook OSX 10.6

    Hello.
    I have an old Macbook (2006) 13 inch and I have upgraded to Snow Leopard and the system is running OSX 10.6.8 and I am wondering what dongles will work with my Macbook.  I am moving to a studio that doesn't have an internet connection and I think this is the only way I will be able to connect.
    Thanks

    I just cleaned the drive with a CD Lens cleaning kit, it looked like an ordinary CD but had two small brushes on it, a small amount of ethanol on the brushes, pop it in your superdrive, DVD's are now recognized
    Was just a dirty laser, weird how it wrote CD's and not DVD's though, anyway, problem solved.

  • About what can be done with free tools today

    Hi,
    I'm quite new to MHP and JavaTV. I've seen many web pages that informed me about MHP (like Steve's one, thanks if you see this message), but I'm still a bit confused about what can and cannot be done with the free tools available today, eg XleTView, openMHP or others.
    I'd like to fetch a DVB stream (or an object carousel? I'm not sure about it) from a DVB-T card (which has BDA drivers) and access it with MHP (in order to find which services are available, etc...).
    Tell me if I'm wrong, I think XleTView or openMHP can't access my DVB-T card, it's just useful to test Xlets.
    Is there a way to have it access the DVB-T card, or even a stream or an object carousel that would be on my hard drive?
    Many thanks, and sorry for the silly questions.

    [oops]
    when I say "it's just useful to test Xlets", I don't want to say it does only minor things. I understand all the MHP stuff is complex to implement, so don't take it bad, I just expressed myself the wrong way :)
    I'm grateful to the programmers who help to do this. Thanks!

  • Ok i finally decided what i will order with my new mobo. Pls tell me what you think...

    Ok i got the 875p neo Fisr pcb 2.9
    I have a p4 2.8(800) atm , but im thinking of ordering a 3.0 or 3.2 since i dont overclock much...
    Decided to go with kingmax ramm unless someone saiys else i got a reply earlier that someone has this and it works. only thing i worry is they dont come in a duel kit so im gonna order 2 from prolly a bulk load... pc3200 kingmax . newegg has them for 80 a pop. 512 meg a stick. one thing that worries me is they are rated at 2.5 volts and if needed to crank them suckers to 2.7 then i might change the memory order if you guys think that will be a problem.
    Got a bfg geforce 600gt coming from best buy for 399.(434 w/tax.)
    Gonna get a vantec 520 watt psu, has oveer 25 amps anthe 12, has over everythng LOL.
    I dont know what bios this new mobo is so i am wondering if after i install all if i should flash to the latest bios or not to worry about flasshing??
    Woot im finally getting close to ordering , only thing i might change is no pcu if you think a 32. from a 2.8 wont make a bigg difference , or if you think the kingmax ramm rated at 2.5 volts might give me a problem . Im afraid to go corsair or very low clas like 2. these are 2.5 . Im my last board the pcb 1.0 after i bios flashed from somethng ( i dont remember which i had i could no longer run in ultra turbo)Ohh ye i had 1.92 b at that time. but for some reason it worked . My only concern is that i wont be able to run in ultr turbo, i could still run in slow on my last mobo but i lost scores in all benchmarks. Well well see what happs this time.
    Ill let ya know . thanx for all of you that replied.

    the neo lsr or fisr should be great boards . mine kicked butt until i messed with it and i guess the flashing which i did correctly on my board didnt undo when i went back. So all with a pcb 1.0 if it works, dont mess with it. LOL . Worked great and was very fast .
    I hope the new pcb 2.0 is just as good.
    ohh that was geforce6800 gt not 600 LOL. Sorry im tired been up and stressed over what i should order...
    Im out .
    Peace !

    The OP should wait for there local store to get in these units. It won't be much longer.

  • What keyboard will work with os10.5.8

    Which keyboard will work with os10.8.5, I don't mind if it's wired or wireless? Thanks

    Most any USB keyboard will work with your Mac Mini.
    I have been using a couple of Logitech MK120 - USB Keyboard & Mouse Combo's with iMac's and Mac Mini's for years.
    The key funtions may very (the Command and Option keys are reversed and the Volume up & down keys may or may not work) depending on what keyboard you get.

  • Confusion about what is going on with my 'repair'

    Hi,
    On the 27th November, my phone line stopped working, no dial tone, and when dialing in, the phone does not ring, although my broadband is still working fine.
    Reported the fault via the website on the 28th November.  Got a call three or so days later saying the fault is in my property, and maybe my equiptment.  Was advised that if my equiptment I would get charged £130.  Not wanting to get charged, I checked my phone in mother in laws house (it worked), checked her phone in my house (did not work).  But, because I was away with work and this took a bit of time, the 'fault' had expired on the website and my only option was to re-report it, which I did on the 9th December.
    This morning (12th December) I got a call from BT saying the fault was inside my property, and maybe my equiptment, so might have to pay etc. etc, and should expect a call from the engineer about his visit.
    This afternoon (12th December), I email and an SMS saying "We've had a look at your problem and think we can fix it by the end of 15/12/2011".  So, now really confused, is an engineer coming, or have they now found a fault elsewhere, that they can fix without a visit?  Why another 3 days?  Phoned the (Indain) call centre, no help what so ever, just reading from a script, and could not answer any of my questions.
    Really frustrating as been without a phone since 27th November and can only get a (bad) mobile signal outside in the cold and rain.
    Anyone got any ideas?

    Thanks for letting us know, good to hear the engineer was able to find the source of the problem (though I'm sorry it took longer than expected).
