Amp, TV and BDP

busterb · 03-31-2010, 11:20 AM

I have an old Aletc- Lansing 251 speakers. Which states "Warning: The subwoofer is not magnetically shielded. As such, it
SHOULD be placed at least 2 feet (0.6m) from TVs, computer monitors,
computer hard drives or any other magnetic media (e.g. floppy disks,
Zip disks, computer or audio tapes, etc.).
I'm finding it to be a problem as to where to place the sub woofer. 14" ± is about the best I can do.

Can I shield it, maybe with aluminum? Or is it worth worrying about? Hate to screw up a new tv and bdp.

FWIW. I got one of the TV Trickle savers. If my thinking is correct sucks. If you plug the tv and bdp in, then turn off tv it stops power to bdp, so then you have to reprogram the damn thing. Right?

If you have a new LED TV, they are not as affected by magnetism as the old tube TVs. The old tubes could be permanently affected by a very strong magnet. The new ones work differently so it's not a problem.

I meant to say LCD TV. LED TV is something different and yet - the same. Anyway, all flat-screens are safe with subwoofers.

As far as the trickle thing goes - you are right. And it's not a big savings, either. Your fridge uses about 2000% more energy than the TV in "trickle mode".

Tnxs again. What about the BDP and disk?

IF "BDP" stands for "Blu-ray Disk Player" you are fine. If not, I don't know what "BDP" stands for.

Sealed disks are already shielded so that's fine.
