For New Jersey Residents
Live in New Jersey? Within an hour of Great Adventure? You're in luck! Head on over to Connections Made Easy. CME is Joe's
own company providing computer and home theater service throughout central and southern NJ.
Not so lucky, huh?
Don't worry, there's alternatives. Use websites like PriceGrabber for finding the best deals on the equipment you need.
Personally, I use MonoPrice for my cable needs more than anything else. Its a fantastic site with the best prices and fastest shipping.
When you need more answers, stop by our Home Theater Forum, drop us an email (help@howtohookitup.com), or use Google. You could spend lifetimes learning new things with Google. I'm sure of it.
Getting Service When Fists Fail (don't hit your TV!)
If your TV, receiver, computer, or whatever isn't working properly, you've got three choices: return it, if its within your return period from where you bought it; get it serviced by contacting
the manufacturer for local service centers; or replace it. Sometimes, it really is more cost effective to replace it. Repairing today's technology is costly. Even if its fixed,
you have no real idea of how long it will stay fixed. Hopefully, you're still covered under a manufacturer's warranty.
As for retailer extended warranty plans, we advise against it. Especially for TVs and home theater equipment. Most manufacturers provide 1, 3, or 5 year limited warranties
covering defects. The things that would go wrong with your TV probably aren't covered by retailer warrantys anyway! Surprising? Do some researching on whether or not to buy
extended service plans. Just be sure to grab a fresh box of tissues first.
This area will be consistently updated to provide you with as much information and resources as possible to get you the knowledge, service, or answers you need.
