Hint for the day:
while it is true that the original Plasma TV’s had an issue with moving them during and prior to installation it is not true of the Plasma tv’s of today.
The older TV’s were not supposed to be tilted more than 20 degrees prior to installation due to the gas in their tubes. The Plasma tv’s of today can be laid flat on their front for extended periods of time prior to installation without damaging the unit.

hint of the day:
before venturing off into a new universal remote control do yourself a favor and check out the new zagg box unveiled at the
consumer electronics show in Las Vegas.
it will revolutionize the way we treat our home theater remotes and could possible save you money and time.

Dear Do It Yourselfer:
Whenever installing a flat screen tv on a wall why make sure to have the power lines and the low voltage coax lines
seperated by at least 6 inches?
when you bring power up a wall to install a 120 volt recepticle behind a new flat tv screen installation, you must make
sure that the tv coax that is brought up the wall to bring the picture to the tv, is at least 6 inches away from the 120 volt
recepticle. If high voltage, in this case 120 volts, is brought up the wall paralelling the low voltage audio cables or coax cable,
there is a possiblility that 60 cycling or “humm” from the 120 volt line will cause tv interference.
These two lines have the possibility of this interference if the paralelling is for 12″ or more.
