Hello Tonto,

Our center channels are very heavily shielded (and they haven't caused any interference in the experiments I did using a 32-inch CRT set). Are you quite certain it's the VP150, and not your left or right front speakers? In the course of doing listening tests to our center-channel models, I accidentally moved an old pair of Mirage bipolar towers (unshielded) a few inches closer to my TV. Then I noticed magnetic interference and thought it was the new Axiom I was testing.

Did you try pushing the VP150 to the rear a little (if there's enough room to do that)? Sometimes just a slight adjustment will be enough.

Nevertheless, we have had one other complaint about a VP150 causing interference and oddly enough, it was also from an owner of a Toshiba CRT set about the same size. Some sets can be unusally sensitive.

If it really is the VP150 that's causing interference, you can get some 20-gauge cold-rolled sheet steel from a sheet metal shop.That will effectively shield the Toshiba from stray interference. Before you do that, call Joe Vassallo, our service manager and ask him if there's any possible problem with the shielding magnet on your VP150.
