*** THE OFFICIAL HOME THEATER & AUDIO THREAD**

Duane question:

i'm doing the MCACC test and it's detecting that one of the speaker's phase may be inverted even though i'm sure the wiring is correct. suggestions?

Are all the speakers wired the same way?

yep. one side of the wire came marked with a black line so i used that side only for the negative terminals and the other side for the positive terminals

[SR]

sigh just reverse the phase on the wire you are probably getting reflections which in tunr is causing a phasing issue with your auto measurments

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

^ yup same thing when I did it and had to reverse the phase (actually run the wrong phase!) on some speakers

heres the catch though

"For optimal quality HDMI signal transmission, we recommend installing the Wireless for HDMI 60 GHz Sender and Receiver units in a horizontally level, line-of-sight orientation in open space without tightly enclosing walls or ceilings. Tightly enclosed spaces such as cabinets will block the radio signal and significantly reduce the range. Obstructions in the radio wave path by furniture and other similarly sized objects should be avoided"

sweet....but dais small ting for u...my powerseller go contribute to getting that for u

[nick009]

^ Yeh the pictures really didnt do it justice, coudve sworn it was smaller.

The lighting and color adds a lot to the room though.

Send me the link for the sketchup as well. This is my samsung 56" also but after reading the link on calibration yesterday i believe mine really needs calibrating badly.

U said u werent finished, what else u intend on doing to the room?

say there sharkman is this the led dlp version?
did you get it locally?

Actually its the plasma dlp version..and i got it @ Circuit Zone.

errrr, what is led dlp version and plasma dlp version?

as far as I know there are plasma tv's, dlp tv's and lcd tv's
some newer lcd tv's use LED lighting instead of fluorescent CFFL bulbs

But I've never heard of a plasma dlp or a led dlp TV

Well theres not really a plasma version.
The light source in his own is the standard lamp and it has a colour wheel .
The LED DLP has led light sources and a fancy chip with a couple million tiny mirrors to redirect the light.
I only ask cause mine was stolen from my house and it looked pretty close to his own and i pretty sure it was the only one in the country

[Swisha]

jus watched some scenes of Dark Knight blu-ray on the new setup...my word!

so ah 2nr lime at your place soon then

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

sweet....but dais small ting for u...my powerseller go contribute to getting that for u

LOL hahaha

nah I like cables, hardwire gives me peace of mind knowing the signal is not degraded.
Same reason I dont like wireless speakers

wireless is for wifi and phones

maybe later on when they get better at wireless HDMI and uncompressed or lossless wireless data to speakers

jus watched some scenes of Dark Knight blu-ray on the new setup...my word!

did you calibrate the TV?

speaking of subs,mines freaking out since last week,hope the voicecoil not burnt

[crazybalhead]

The Fs of my sub is 22Hz, and the enclosure is tuned to 24 Hz.

Fs is 32Hz,

application is everything from watching movies to listening to music

^^^ That is not great for movies. Very good for music, but movies go lower than this.

What yuh mean freakin out.

[ru$$ell]

^it plays really soft,even when the volume is set on 3/4 on it,i have to literally pound the top of the box with my fist to get it to start back playing @ normal volume levels.It starts to work normal after,but sometimes when it does this,and i hit the top of the box,it starts to fap,then i usually hit it again,and it plays normal

looks like i gotta order that sunfire sub sooner than expected now,fml

[crazybalhead]

Sounds like a simple short man. Easy to fix.

[SR]

cold solder on the main board doubt anything worng with the sub itself

[crazybalhead]

Right by the RCA Jack on the input most likely.

[ru$$ell]

^will open it and check it,hopefully it really is what you guys say,gotta carry it now to find out what size torx screwdriver works on it.

@raptor,surprisingly $1800 at Triniwattage.(back in late 2k8,price was $475USD then)

Its more than perfect for my room size,and does a wonderful job with music.for a 8" it goes pretty low as well.

[ru$$ell]

So i opened it up,this is what the inside looks like and such:














so i put it back together,and its actually playing properly now,i didnt do a thing,just blew it out,put it back together,and tried it,its playing perfect now,like the 1st day i got it,which is strange,didnt even open up the backplate,any idea what could have happened? i have a vid on how it's playing now,will youtube it in a bit as soon

EDIT

ok,here's the vid of the after performance:

[crazybalhead]

The terminal connecting the sub may have been loose.
