Turner F, I utterly agree. But have a feeling I have overwhelmed them with infor that they are not ready or capable of dealing with during this turbulent month. (and the old display broke – sans the urgency for immediate replacement) otherwise I’d HIGHLY recommend they wait for the fall lineup. (more choices in DVI, Firewire, more of a price range in low to high-end models launched). I have a feeling since its already sitting in their living room, they will sit on this model rather than 'deal' with the issues.
And Bruin when I get off this speaker thing, I’ll look up your suggestions (very unfamiliar product line to me).

Whatever I do it needs to be simple.

Follow's what I’ve been trying to post all afternoon, typed hours ago but not sent due to my work-related interrupts. Sorry it’s so messy. BUT HELP!?…..

Pulling My hair out in wads. Another call to the husband, Please let me know the model of your camcorder. He tells me JVC 320X. I say thanks, - plug that in google for specs, it appears to 320X refers to the ZOOM capabilities and is not the model # of the camera itself.

ADDITIONALY, and far more disturbing. My girlfriend just called. Asked for emergency help to get the speakers working with the new display this weekend. (the husband is making everyone else go deaf turning up the display right now. SO I call husband get him to go into the house (from the barn) and tell me what speakers he has…

This is what he tells me, (all satellite size). He has two speakers that sat on the floor L/R of the old display. He THINKS these have speaker wire attached. He has 2 speakers hung at ceiling does not know if wire runs through the wall (we will assume). All four are labeled RCA.

He has two speakers (and these are the CRITICAL ONES) that sat at the end table next to his chair, with no brand label,,,,,,,,,,,and no speaker wire attached. They just plugged into the wall into the electrical socket behind the table. And used to ‘work’ with the old TV. I asked him if these two table top speakers come with the original display? (thinking the display incorporated some sort of wireless station). He stated no,,,,these speakers were added after display when he had trouble hearing it. Next I asked for the number of the guy who came out and set this all up. He’s lost the contact, and states…”that guy did not know what he was doing anyway but somehow he got the sound out of the old display into the 2 tabletop speakers, but it won’t ‘talk’ to the new TV.” URRRRGGGGG.
Then I ask do you have some sort of box (the wireless base) sitting around, I feel these tabletop plugged in remote speakers (with no speaker wire attached), - HAD to interface with something! He said no, used to have a little FM/CD box the speakers went through orginially, - but does not have that radio cd player anymore. I asked if the tabletop speakers still received audio from the old display with the CD/Radio unit gone. He said yes.

My questions is: what am I going to find when I get out there. Any thoughts on how I can rig those orginial two tabletop remotes to receive from the new display?
Are there wireless products out currently that I can purchase two NEW remote speakers (wireless..any recommendations?) Where whatever interface is neccasary for this whole mess is included with purchase of speakers to connect to the new display?

Am I even making sense????
