You seem to be sure the game room is the only option. I thought the wall with the mirror was the only option. True , I have not figure where to put all the surround speakers and the front three seem to be okay around the TV. Elaborate on your suggestion, regarding the game room, please.

I reconsidering the fireplace option. I am leaning toward the east wall with the mirror ,of course once remove. Or the game room, I agree, thick blinds in there would be the way to go.

I am eager to get some serious suggestions.

Bought a house and I have 3 options to put the home theater. The somewhat Ideal place is on the west wall where the fireplace is at. We are planning to get a plasma and putting on the brick wall on top of the fireplace is an option. The second is the east wall and there is a mirror there...

My OTA was enabled and the channels in the 80's are HD. So, I am happy.

You right , I will see if my OTA have been enabled. The worse that could happen is that I have to call tech support again and get their help. I will try it.

Good point. In the setting there is a section called OTA, I am a little nervous messing w/things I dont know much about but I can give it a try.

My OTA are coming in, my question is that for sure I am getting HD in my HBO and Showtime channels but I am not sure I am getting HD in my local channels. I understand that LA will be getting HD by the end of the year but when I am watching most local channels it says: HD when available. I have...

My hardware is the Directv HD unit Hughes model 10-250 and my antenna is a regular antenna in the attic.

MOst of the shows I am seeing is w/the ratio of 16:9 and I was explained by Tech support that most HD are 16:9 but my problem is that the shows that are not HD are still 16:9 with the bars above and below. And I cant eliminate them. The HD remote has a ratio button but doesnt change anything...

Excuse my ignorance, what are presence speakers? where did you get them.

actually, the article says that this feature gives the illusion of having presence speakers when you dont actually have them , thus giving a more full and depth sound.

IN the review it talks how the Yamaha 1400 offers the DSP cinema cicuitry which creates enchanced soundsfields by adding a pair of "L/R" presence speakers that compliments the front, center, subwoofer and back surround speakers. I wanted to make sure that I was using this feature. I assume...

Good article. I did listen with THhx mode engaged for the movie, Hildago. It sounded like the enchanced surround sounds, not any better or worse-the part of the train moving along was awesome but I dont know if it would have been the same with the enchanced.

Okay, I read the links,it sounds to me that THX engage does give you a better clean sound. Am I wrong?

for clarificaton purposes, by pressing THX cinema on my remote for the yamaha 1400, doesnot necessarily gives me better sound-then the default enhanced surround sound for my dvd movies?

If I only have a 5.1 set up. I rented a few movies that says it is THX mastered, and I was wondering if I set my receiver for THX, will I get true THX Mastered digtial sounds?

Thanks!

come'on not one person has set up their pre-set stations?

I have tried to set up my fav stations on FM on my yammy 1400 and when I do it and return to see if its works, it doesnt work. I called the shop I bought it and they said , it's too complicated to help you on the phone, you have to make a trip to the store. I almost fell off my chair, are you...

I have my yammy 1400 now for several months and I do love it. I have a gamecube game set up with my receiver but I couldnt get it to work. I unpluged RCA plugs on the back and put it directly in the TV , then it works. But I was wondering what I am doing wrong? On the yamaha remote, which...

I use mainly surround enchanced, it seems to be the best. However, when you say a 2 channel movie- how can I tell if its a 2 channel movie?

Good Answer

I do love my yamaha and very happy with its performance. However, I have done the auto setup and performance overall is good. I read in one of the threads about the parameter EQ. Is that in the 1400 and how can I take advantage of it. Im a newbie in audio. Usually, when I see a movie...

my sub is at 200 hz crossover, and my yammy has the YPAO set up which is setup auto. But my when I hear dialog I increase the volume but when there is battle scene or chase scene , I have to decrease the volume. any suggestions?

Thanks, I read the links and they were very informative. My yammy 1400 receiver has the auto setup with THX standards which is sweet for a newbie like me. But after reading what an avia or VE calibration disc can do with a SPL meter, Im tempted to go for it. It just Im not that techie but I will...

Have a Sony 36XBR800 TV, Yamaha 1400 receiver and Infinity TSS750, Sony Directv/tivo combo and a Sony DVD 5300. I just got my receiver and Yammy 1400 has the auto setup which is sweet. But , I went in manually to see if I could get a better sound. Hard to tell. I do have my sub at 120 HZ...

are the yamaha 1400,2400 and 1300 happy with their receivers? And do anyone purchase the infinity Tss 750 speakers and are they happy with their performance?
