    Toshiba 50H82 Gemetry/Convergence Issues (LONG)

    Pete, I can't anwser all your questions, but i'll fill in what I can. 1. I think there are service menu codes which let you do rotation, I however do not know what these are. General rule of thum is that you shouldn't do a 56pt convergence until after 100 hours of use. Doing it sooner then...

    JBL-SCS 135 Package - PLEASE Help!!

    I agree with the above statement. The SCS 135 is a great package for the money, especialy the sub. I started with that same exact package back in February. I've recently started upgrading my speakers. I'm still using 2 SCS 135s for my surrounds but my fronts have all been replaced with JBL S310s...

    First time calibration with VE (newbie type questions - kinda long)

    Charbel, Yes I have read that too. However, even though the difference in sound between large and small mains is very very small to notice, I like the sound of my mains set as large with my sub set to L/R+LFE. One thing that bothers me about that, is that I haven't been able to find out what...

    First time calibration with VE (newbie type questions - kinda long)

    Steve, I checked as you said and like I thought, I only have a S-W level adjustment. This level is the same even when I change the sub from LFE only or L/R + LFE. One thing I did just try though, was run the LFE track in VE in a a-b loop. I then tried different combinations of LFE, L/R+LFE and...

    Digital Cable Receivers

    Here in Toronto, the digital boxes have coax out, and s-video out. Some of the shows on the Movie network (think HBO but in canada) are broadcast in 5.1 dolby digital. The rest just in doulby digital surround.

    I need your thoughts about jbl speakers

    Robin, I know how you feel. However I too think that these JBL Studio series speakers are a great set of speakers. I currently have 2 S310's as mains, and the S-Center for the center. Next month, I'm upgrading my surrounds to 2 S38s. I listend to a LOT of speakers and I kept coming back to these...
