RE: Problems with 5.1 standard on Philips MX 1060D

I had a similar problem with my Panasonic set up. Turn down the volume totally on your Tv set. Look at the balance of the speakers. Adjust it so back ones are louder. If I recall right thats what fixed mine

RE: Sony MZ5 mobile for £99.98 (SIM/connection free)

which store did u get it from?

RE: Sony Stuff!

Check out the thread already going `DVD 500 quid budget` or something similar. They are discussing the Sony stuff there. I think what it all boils down to is - are u going to want the flexibility to upgrade. I have a all in one system and its great, easy for me to put together and control. But if you get seperates u can swap in newer stuff as time goes by and the sound is better. but im quite happy with mine, was cheaper than seperates and in a few years time i will put it in the study and get a new one for the lounge

RE: Sony MZ5 mobile for £99.98 (SIM/connection free)

Damn, I really want one of these but having trouble tracking one down, going through everywhere in London. The blighters wont even help check availability at other stores - chumps!

RE: 8 Way LCD Panel Learning Remote Control £39.99

does anyone know if these things are any good? also, would it help replace a remote control that i lost?

RE: Half Price Clearance in Electrical Dept. at Courts (Lakeside)

woman called me back from head office. swore blind that all had been closed for months. i said `what about lakeside?` i could hear the smoke from her brain working overtime, on the other end of the phone.

RE: Half Price Clearance in Electrical Dept. at Courts (Lakeside)

courts is the furniture place and powerhouse is their electrical bit. most powerhouses have closed down but some remain, such as lakeside, and they will be closing on sunday, hence much cheapness til then. im waiting for a call back from them to tell me which stores still have the powerhouse thing

RE: Half Price Clearance in Electrical Dept. at Courts (Lakeside)

Do you know if they sell fridges and freezers?

RE: Half Price Clearance in Electrical Dept. at Courts (Lakeside)

Their website shows half price everywhere so there is hope. thanx

RE: Half Price Clearance in Electrical Dept. at Courts

how much is not much? I cant get to one until Friday because of the opening hours. Can i pay over the phone?

RE: www.dvdpacific.com - Any Good?

Saturday morning - hooray. I think they are quite new as the order no. i was given was very low. Very high P&P rates but when the DVD is low in the first place, they often work out the cheapest still.

RE: www.dvdpacific.com - Any Good?

Hey Bob, have u received your order yet? I received an email saying they shipped it a week ago but hasnt arrived yet.

RE: LG 20" `designer` TV approx £94 delivered...

I had to get a portable aerial and plug it in the back. Or connect it upto the aerial on the roof, maybe even use a signal booster

RE: LG 20" `designer` TV approx £94 delivered...

You havent got a duff one - I too had the same problem with the sound only to order another one and still have the same issue. Dont bother with the automatica tuning stuff - it tunes the channels in the wrong order anyway. Manually tune. On the manualk tune page there is something up the top, the first thing to tune, I think it may be a B or something, flip this to the other option, I think an I. That fixed mine. Picture was perfect, just the sound was very dodgy. If it still doesnt work I will look at my TV 2nite and get the correct details for u.

www.dvdpacific.com - Any Good?

Hi, probably a bit late in the day to be asking this but has anyone had any experiences of dvdpacific.com? Altho their P&P is a lot they still worked out cheaper than anywhere else on a DVD I ordered. Are they reliable?

RE: Do you wanna split your sides laughing? Well do you?

I can`t take anymore. I get near the bottom and when I look again an hour later I`m only halfway through again. People are adding to it at a rate of knots. God, I hope they hunt down Brian and Bimbo.

Do you wanna split your sides laughing? Well do you?

I know, I know, absolutely nothing to do with DVDs but this thread has got to be the funniest ever and it has totally taken off today.

RE: Laptop for less that £270 !!!

I got the same, its just another e-mail sent to everyone trying to get out of it. half the world must be complaining.

RE: Laptop for less that £270 !!!

Bloke I spoke to told me they may sell it in the future but right now they don`t have it and won;t sell it to us at that price. the story changes each time i talk to them.

RE: Laptop for less that £270 !!!

alans, which trading standards gave u that gem of an answer?

RE: Laptop for less that £270 !!!

Yep, you are spot on Mike. They have assigned u a web order id afterall, it just happens they assign u another later for some unknown reason.

Also, as with the letsbuyit.com thing, the downfall there was payment details had not been exchanged. i gave simply my card details and they happily took it. i also have a screenshot, as in the mirror, that they had it in stock. they have magically updated all their website now to show what they really have in stock and what they don`t.

RE: Laptop for less that £270 !!!

Contact their local trading standards on 020 8496 3000. Someone will take all details and call u back. Simply have refused to discuss the problems anymore, they said they will get someone to call

RE: Laptop for less that £270 !!!

Received an e-mail

Regretfully, we write to inform you that we are unable to process this
particular order request. This product was actually discontinued from the
Toshiba range in January 2002 and due to a system error in our back office
system, the product has inadvertently been displayed as available for sale
on our website and at an incorrect selling price.

As a point of clarification, paragraph 2.5 of our terms and conditions,
confirms that your order request may not be accepted and fulfilled when an
error such as this occurs.

Whilst we appreciate that this may be disappointing for you and we regret
any inconvenience caused, please be assured that Simply Computers take every
reasonable step to avoid such situations.

Once again, please accept our sincere apologies, and we look forward to you
visiting our site again soon.



Also, check out The Mirror Newspaper tomorrow - a bargain at 20p - there will be an article in Amy`s I column

RE: Laptop for less that £270 !!!

Send a letter rather than e-mail and send it recorded delivery else peeps just ignore. I will do the same. Also at the bottom of the letter say a copy has been sent to your loval Trading Standards altho often they prefer to refer it to the companies local TS

RE: Laptop for less that £270 !!!

i doubt u will get them, they are deleting orders in bulk and not telling anyone. mine have disappeared as have family and no e-mails

RE: Laptop for less that £270 !!!

he also said that the stock details update twice a day so i said that those who ordered yesterday should be fine. he refused to comment. it seems they are all getting a little tangled up with what their story is

RE: Laptop for less that £270 !!!

Just spoke to another individual. I suggested that they were claiming out of stock to get around this price error. He said he cannot comment and when I asked if they would bring em back in a few weeks time at the tother price, he said maybe but my order had been cancelled and thats the end of that.
