Darren late last year Dish had to comply with the "must carry laws" they had to squeeze more channels into the already limited bandwith. They had to lower the compression quality of there core programming to do so. This is probably a good part of what you're seeing(Dish did launch a new sat...

getting you're dish aligned with a twin 500 can be tricky. once you've established the 119 is green, do a check switch and set it to the 110 location. If you can get a signal then go to the dish 500 screen where it shows both locations at the same time. Adjust the dish to get the highest level...

TerryD Im not familiar with all the equipment you've listed, but I'll go out on a limb and assume that this connection scheme will work firt composite(yellow is video, white is the left audio channel, and any other color is the right audio channel ie. black or red) composite out of the...

Robert A Fowkes wired his HT with canare so he could give his opinion on quality, pros and cons, etc.

Does anyone have the service codes for a hi-def samsung?

I was shopping the other day for some new movies. While doing so I had decided not to buy twister, since it didn't "claim to have a 5.1 soundtrack. Latter I did the same thing with "Robin Hood Prince Of thieves", before I put it back I noticed it was a WARNER BROS. release. Sure enough twister...

Paul thats not an easy question to answer. What kind of music do you listen to? What volume level do you prefer? Are the speakers going to be ran full range or with a subwoofer. what is your source material coming from(cd, dvd, dvd audio, super audio cd)? I would look for a receiver that has...

A friend of mine bought a thx pioneer receiver(I can't remember the model number) and it had several video problems. He took it back and got another one and it too did the same thing. He took it back and got a denon and everything cleared right up.

DENNIS I assume you are talking about dish networks digital home plan. It is just a lease, you don't own the equipment. After the 12 month commitment you can continue on a monththly basis and if you decide to return it there isn't a cancelation fee for doing so. For Hi-Def you would need a...

People all the time ask me "what brand of DVD player would you recomend? I usally tell them to stick with a brand they're familar with. And look for one with glow keys or back lit remote. How would you guys answer?

SIMONIND let me clarify. you can take 5 sine waves in the same frequecy lets say 1KHZ. Each one is recorded at a different level than the others. -20db, -25db, -10db, etc. Follow me so far. If you played each one with out changing the volume the -10db sine wave would be the loudest and the...

Richard Pink noise is undifferentiated signal having equal energy within each octave of the audio spectrum. It can be identified by listening for a "FFFF" sound. White sound is the sound your tv makes when theres not a signal on a given channel"SSSS" sounding. I've used white noise to help blend...

If you dont compensate for different values (0, -10, -15, etc.) then theres no point of charting the response. I'm curious on the down loaded sine waves. Can you put them on disc? I've been meaning to get a more complete catalog of sine waves, maybe thats my answer. Good luck

Thanks Jaehoon I should have read that reply backwards. I would have understood more of it that way. understand can I so time more one that say you can

Thomas S starting fresh main speaker adivice requested

I just read a post yesterday about a guy that wanted to start over and get rid of his current set-up. I believe he had def-tech 2002's find that post and shoot him a offer.

I beleive it was 2 db off. I set it to 75 db by my test tones and later checked it with VE and got 77db or something like that. Its been too long ago. My third test was sine waves from MCM Electronics. It looks like my opinion on VE's test tones are in the minority here.

Mike The hardest thing about tweeks is the fact that everything interacts with the end result. One cable brand might tame the highs. If you have overly bright speakers you might appreciate them in your system, another owner of the same system might think it destroyed their sonic...

Tan D. I've had similar results with my 5700 test tones and VE. I used a third test ( sine waves with the recording values attached) and VE was wrong.

Dishnetwork constantly changes their software. They make those changes from listening to customers like you. Try tuning in to Charlie Chat sometime. Charlie Chat E-Mail.......... [email protected] Charlie Chat, to ask a question live.... 1-800562-9405

All of the outputs should be active whether you use them or not. Unles like in the case of the pioneer dv-414. You have to select either component video or S- video. Your wiring scheme should work just fine.

My receiver did something similar. All of the channels transmitting in dolby digital would be out of sink with the video. When I went into the menu and selected pcm only it cleared right up. Try taking out the card until the receiver displays the receiver info ( smart card number, software...

In that price range, Paradign. Givem a listen.:emoji_thumbsup:

Hi rob I don't know if this will help, but try a surge protector that filters out radio frequency interference.

Jon Compromising the sonic values for asthetic values can only go so far. The best place for the sub might be in the middle of the floor(not likely), but you're not going to put it there and walk around it all day. So you need to find a place that gives you the best balance of the two...

way to go wayne!

Steve the main speakers tweeters should be at hear level from your listening position. when placing the center channel keep its tweeters with in 12 inches of the mains. titling the center channel can help compensate. When you place it on your tv try to keep it forward so that the sound...

I dont know very much about the new direct tv setups, but I do know a little about dishnetwork. As far as a splitter goes 1450 Mhz. is the required min. A multi switch though it looks like a splitter is not. it is a two way switch that passes DC current through to the lnb to SWITCH sats...

I started noticing a few movies I've rented or bought didn't have a 5.1 soundtrack or the picuture quality wasn't up to dvd standards. Seems like Warner Bros. don't care what all of their movies look or sound like. I'm not paying 20 bucks for two channel surround. Compare both of the Ace...

I dont know about direct tv., but dish network has Starband. The down side is about 500 kbs and the up is about 128. you can get dish network programing on the same dish. Dish network is trying to merge (buy out) with direct tv., so who knows what the future holds. Here's the really bad...
