| 657182 | 2008-04-08 22:35:00 | A week and a half ago my brother bought a 40" Sony LCD TV, the same model I bought at the beginning of Feb. from them. My brother not being very technical paid NL the $50 to go out to his place and connect it all up to his stereo etc. NL even chucked in a component video cable to be able to connect his DVD which had component connections to the TV. Anyway the guy didn't connect it properly. I had to go out and set it up after Noel Lemmings had been there. The component video cable, instead of connecting to the component video sockets he had connected it to the ordinary video socket and useing the other 2 cables for the left and right audio channels. What a moron. :) |

| 657183 | 2008-04-08 22:44:00 | sounds like the guy connected it correctly. sounds like a 3 lead cable, so you can only have it as 2 audio + 1 video. if you use it on the component (rgb) you will get pics but no sound. you need a 5 lead cable (or a 3 and a 2) to have componant + sound. HTH |

| 657184 | 2008-04-08 22:51:00 | tweak'e, the fact the NL threw in a component video cable, and then connected it up in the way a normal RCA AV cable would be connected is the problem. If they had thrown in a RCA AV cable and connected it up like that, it would have been sweet. Sounds like the guy who set it up was either lazy, or didn't bring the right cables and couldn't be stuffed telling the customer. He got a free cable out of it though, it's all good! :lol: :p |

HTH No No No. Read my post again. They chucked in a free 3 lead Component video cable which had the red, blue and green leads. They connected it up useing the ordinary yellow video rca connection. Can't remember which cables were in which sockets but say the red one was in the yellow socket and the green one in the left audio socket and the blue one in the right audio socket. :) |

| 657190 | 2008-04-09 02:10:00 | Isn't the $50 the delivery fee, and the setup is free, so I don't think you would get a refund. | robbyp (2751) | ||
