(NOTE: The HDTV Magazine Publishing - Commentary & Discussion section is moderated and edited by HDTV Magazine staff, not HD Library and Forum, using their own guidelines.)
You make HD Library and Forum a great place to be!
The purpose of HD Library and Forum is to provide accurate help, education, assistance and reference information in understanding and using HD video and audio products so posts may be deleted or edited. This is achieved with a technical moderator that handles civil and uncivil disputes as well. While free speech is allowed in many cases these are technical discussions. We are seeking the truth regardless of the outcome. In this sense the site is not a free-for-all. Please, no flames, inflammatory remarks, name calling or foul language. Please make your point with intelligence, wit, and facts with integrity and respect. Of course there are many opinions and please express yours within the framework of the Forum.
Thank you for joining us in this new technology called HDTV, SACD and DVD-Audio. There is so much to learn and that is because we have been ignorant for so long. This will be a huge paradigm shift and quite an education. The good news is just like it is common to know some basics about cars we hope to have you kicking the tires on HD products probably knowing more than the sales person or better yet finding one as knowledgeable to further assist you.
HD Library fully supports the ISF and HAA calibration process using either a calibration DVD and customer controls or having a professional go deeper using a service manual and test equipment. HD Library does not support any postings on the site for going beyond the customer controls. HD Library does not support any postings on the site for repairing a product yourself. HD Library is here to connect industry professionals with end users seeking their assistance. If you want do it yourself, DIY information related to calibration and repairs it is on the internet easily found using a search engine and also check our links in the library.
In the spirit of the following,
Service and Repair Forum
This is a new addition to the site which we hope can remain. The following rules can apply as well to any other area of the site.
The purpose of the Service and Repair Forum is to help others determine if they have a setup problem or repair problem. If the product requires repair then the next purpose is to create an understanding of the service industry so you are better able to get the results you seek when looking for service or have service problems. As noted before this site is not a free for all, it is moderated and posts may be deleted, moved, changed or edited to help future users find the quality information they seek and keep threads on topic.
The public can be very passionate and emotional when their product does not work as expected, has problems or fails with the added difficulty of finding quality service in their area. Manufacturers and /or service providers often times add to this frustration due to the way they run their customer service. Our greatest concern is the end user who has been so disappointed that they now have an axe to grind with the manufacturer and or service provider and instead of remaining on point with factual information become a nuisance to the moderator, other threads or other members and a disruption to the site in their goal to let the world know they are not happy, demand satisfaction on their terms and/or how others should not support the service or product that made them so dis-satisfied.
We appreciate your comments and support as well as your disappointment and frustration. Please do not make this site your soapbox and platform to release your anger and frustration.
Just to be clear
Any member that becomes belligerent, argumentative, posts smart-ass comments or requires too much attention of the site librarian/moderator will lose their posting privileges. While these rules are relaxed in the "HD Coffee Shop and Member Chit Chat" section related to politics, religion and opinion oriented topics they are strictly enforced in all other sections.
This is a professional site and is provided for free to assist pros and end users with audio and video science. If you receive an e-mail or on-line post asking you to stop doing something or change something, please do it. We do not have time to enter into lengthy discussions over the merits of your position or ours and if you become a nuisance you will lose your posting privileges.
