Hey everybody, I've had a Mitsubishi WS-65857 since 2000. Never had one problem. Not one. Now, a week ago, I've had this weird problem that started out temporary, but is becoming more frequently. At the top and bottom of the screen, it goes from a perfect picture to a blurred picture with some...

t drop a line here and let me know how far you sit back from your main speakers. Mike

Hi- I have an STR-DE975 Sony receiver with JBL S38's as the two front speakers, JBL S-CENTERii, rear speakers, and SVS 20-39PCi. On my receiver, it has a function where I can individualy set each speakers crossover (I have the SVS one disabled before anybody asks). I have all of the...

Hello- I just got a pair of JBL S38ii about a couple months ago. When I watch some DVD's (whether loud or quiet movies), I seem to get a lot of distortion coming from my two JBL S38's. It's happening so frequently that I don't think it can be the source material on the DVD. I have the SVS...

Hello there- I did some rearranging of my home theater room. I have a 65" Mits Widescreen TV and it looks best at about 16 feet away, so I moved my seating arrangement around so that I am seated 16 feet away from my TV. My only corner available IN FRONT of my seating arrangement for the SVS...

Hi- I have the Radio Shack Digital Meter. I just got the SVS 20-39PCi and am trying to decide how to correctly calibrate it. I have the Sub in the corner, and am getting a fairly good response that varies between about 2-3dB, which is the best I've gotten so far. However, I have heard...

Ok, I have the whole set up. JBL S-Center II, JBL S38's for mains, SONY STRDE975 receiver, and SVS 20-39PCi. However, when I watch some films, I get distortion even when I am 5dB from reference level. I was wondering, after I list the movies and the select scenes, if you have any of these...

Hi, I just ordered the JBL S38 Series II speakers and they should be arriving late this week or early next week. I've heard that these sound really good with a good subwoofer. I don't have enough money for a new subwoofer right now, so I want to know how my current subwoofer will match up...

Hello Well, I have used Avia and have all of the speakers (including the Sub) calibrated to 85dB from my seating position. As I stated above, when I used an 80Hz crossover for all of the speakers, the dialogue didn't sound too good. However, I messed around a bit and got good results with...

I have used Avia to do the calibrations, but the dialogue in my movies sounds really weak. There's no deepness or clarity to it. I have my crossover frequency at 80Hz on all of the speakers. I don't really know how to do the warble or phase tests, but they sound pretty good to me. However...

Hello- Is it all right if my "sweet spot" is not in the center of the room. My couch is closer to the left front speaker than the center speaker. I am about 17 feet away from all of the speakers, but my couch is positioned to the left. Will this ruin my calibration? Can I take measurements...

Hi- I've seen some people say that you set the subwoofer crossover to 80Hz. However, I've seen many posts that say you should put ths subwoofer xover at the highest it can go (150-200Hz). Is it just a matter of opinion? Or is there a "correct" answer? I have a JBL Subwoofer, pretty heavy...

Hello I just got the AVIA disc today and I think I did all of the video calibrating stuff correctly. However, when I put in any DVD, the colors of everybody's faces is a real ugly, almost orange-ish look to their faces. On the disc, they said to turn off TV color tones. I don't know what...

Hello, I am a first time poster on here. You guys have already helped me so much, and I really appreciate it. A lot of people have had the same questions that I have had, so it was nice to see them answered without me actually having to type it. However, I have run into sort of a problem. I...
