I have a set of energy C-R3 mono/Bi/Di Pole speakers. My question is, since there are no right and left markings, is there a chance that the FORWARD firing midrange on the Left is in phase with the REAR firing Midrange on the Right? Shouldn't both FRONT be firing in phase, and both REAR...
I have a DPX-1, and would gladly like to discuss your experiences with this projector. I only recently purchased it, and have some questions you may be bale to help me with. Thanks.
I have read way too much about aspect ratio. I have confused myself. I bought a 2.35:1 ratio screen. Will 2.35:1 movies fill the screen from my Yamaha DPX 1100, or will I need a lens? I understand 16x9 will leave bars on the side. If this seems elementary, I apologize, just got very confused.
I have one with 5 controllers (4 large, 1small) Monster optical Audio Cable, and Monster composite av cables and 8 games. What are you hoping to spend?
I just got a new passive sub, but will not have a seperate amp for a few weeks. My question is can I use the speaker hookups on the powered sub to power the passive sub? Since I am using the LFE Pre out on my Amp, will the sub crossover interfere with the signal? The reason I ask is that I...
I have a 14 x 22 theatre, with 7.1. I have been trying for months to get the system to blend and sound natural.I finally did, but not by usual methods. I spent money on SPL meters, Calibration Discs (DVE, AVIA),and software. Thought I had it down, and sounding great. Then, had a couple of...
I just finished my Basement HT room. It sounds great, except for the bass, which has dissappeared. My room is 20'L x 14'W and I have an 7'8" ceiling. I used to run the front speakers 8'apart, with the sub in the bottom of my stand. It sounded great. Now, the speakers are 11' apart and...
I have just recently bought the DVE test disc. What an improvement to my system already! I am confused on how to calibrate using the different tones. I would appreciate it if someone could help me with the answers to the following questions. 1).How do I calibrate my rear surrounds seperately...
The only reason I am messing with the delay is so that the receiver processes differently. I have set my speakers to the actual distance. I wish the manual explained the relative delay section better. As I understand it, the receiver processes the signal for the distances I have programmed, then...
I have an Onkyo TX-DS989, and have a 7.1 setup. I have input the correct distances for my 7.1 setup, and have calibrated with a SPL meter. My question is this. My rear speakers are only 3.5 feet behind me, while my side surrounds are both 8.0 feet away. There is a relative delay setting on my...
I know Blu Ray may be the next best thing, but how soon will it really be mainstream? I just bought a Pioneer Elite DVD player, and after hearing about BluRay, I feel like I just got kicked in the balls. How soon will my high end DVD player become a very expensive paperweight? Is this just...
I am hoping to buy a Toshiba 65" RPTV (LCD and DLP RP do not offer better PQ for the dollars in my opinion). After looking for about 2 weeks,(and hearing every sales pitch in the world), I think the Toshiba is the best value. However, the floor model in the store has a horrible blue tint to it...
I have my theater almost complete, now I just have to figure out how I am going to build my entertainment centre. I would like to use my floor standers, and mount my centre channel at the same height. That makes my TV at about 48", and that seems a bit high. I have played with the projector...
I would like to try running two center channel speakers up front. How could I run the wire to prevent them from hurting the receiver? Both are 8 ohm speakers. Series or parallel?
Do I still use the sub out from my Onkyo? Will the sound actually suffer by doing it like this, or is it better. In other words, should I need to do this to a high end receiver? I was thinking about buying a seperate amp to run my fronts, but if this will work away we go. Just looking for...
I am on track I think. I know that there is nowhere to set the X-over. I would have to get the Upgrade from Onkyo, which I am still waiting to hear from! If I am getting you, here is what I should have: RECEIVER - FRONT L/R - (+,-) out to SUBWOOFER - High Level in L/R - (+,-)...

I am relatively new to this hobby, but I feel I have a good system, and just want to tweak it for best performance. RECEIVER-Onkyo TX-DS989, DVD- Pioneer DV43, Front Speakers-Energy C-9, L/R Surround- Energy CR-3, Surround Back-Energy Encore2, Center- PSB Century 2000i, Sub-JBL S120PII. I am...
I am trying to figure out how to set my Receiver to get the best sound out of it, and am hoping some other 989 owners can help me out.I have a couple of questions. I am running two cables from the sub outs on the receiver. What are the advantages/disadvantages of each? Does anyone have the ver2...
Just got this bad boy after upgrading from a Sony STR-DB1070(which was not all that bad actually!). Just wondering how you can tell what version you have(ver.1/ver2). I have DPL II, but no way of knowing if I am getting DTS-ES, or if I need to upgrade.Will the display change to show what is...
