    Help with Sherwood avp-9080 issue

    The AVP9080 is a great unit. I think the issue I am having is a technical issue, not a design flaw. I don't have anything bad to say about the unit at all. However there are some things that I would like to see. More digital inputs, more component video inputs, decoding of all sound formats...

    Help with Sherwood avp-9080 issue

    update- after fooling around some more I think I've narrowed the problem to the optical connection of the pre/pro. I get Dolby Digital sound from the optical connection ONLY when I turn off the pre/pro and source and then turn everything on again. Also if I switch sources once I have turned...

    Help with Sherwood avp-9080 issue

    I am trying to run two separate Dolby Digital sources to the AVP-9080(DVD, Digital Cable). My problem is this: I cannot get sound from both sources when both are connected to the pre/pro. One component is hooked up via digital coaxial, and the other via optical. However, I can get Dolby...

    What db to calibrate sub to?

    Thanks for all the input everyone. I think I got it figured out. One more question. When does someone have to worry about doing damage to a subwoofer? I know this may be hard to answer. For example, say I have a small room that provides lots of gain. Thus my output on the receiver and...

    HI, I'm using the Sound snd Vision dvd to calibrate my system. I've calibrated all the speakers to 85db. I also have calibrated the sub to 85 db. It seems a little lacking though. Any hints?

    PR enclosure question

    Dan, Thanks for the info. With regards to the downward firing position could you tell me how much it will effect the output of the sub. Over the long haul will the effects be noticeable? Will the driver eventually "wear out"?

    PR enclosure question

    Thanks Craig Jack, I know you have alot of experience with PR enclosures. So in you opinion driver placement, whether foward or down firing shouldn't matter as long as it doesn't adversely effect the driver (AV12), correct? The most important thing is to have the PR's vertically mounted on...

    John, What would be the best amount of power to feed to the AV12 in a thunder 12 box? Is your 350 watt amp a good choice for this alignment?
