The Integra DTC-9.8 might need a firmware update at least up to version 1.05 If it is a new unit within two months it should be ready for "Audyssey MultEQ Professional." Yes, each processor be it Integra, Onkyo, or whatever, requires a $150.00 license. The only unit that does not require a...
Well, instead of 10 locations I ran 12 locations, making the "sweet-spot" a very large "bubble" of extraordinary sound and enveloping. I played several regulard DVD's (Master & Commander, Gladiator, etc) and several HD-DVD's (Batman Begins, Transformers, etc) and some Blu-ray discs (The Fifth...
The Audyssey available on the Integra DTC-9.8 is great but the "Installer's Professional set-up" is far superior. I have done several times the "internal" Audyssey calibration with great results; but when I purchased the Installers Kit and became a certified Audyssey Pro calibrator it brought a...
Last night I conducted an Audyssey MultEQ Professional audio calibration.. The process is a lot more involved than the one available via the Integra unit itself. I did six locations; this weekend I am going to do it again for 10 locations. One of the parameters it wants to know is the...
Hello, I had the Integra DTC-9.8 since October 2007. I use it with Axiom Speakers, Sherbourn Amplifier (5X200) Outlaw Mono-Blocks for 7.1 and a Velodyne Sub. The Display is a Mitsubishi Diamond DLP 73-Inch. When I play the HD-DVD (on the Toshiba HD-35) it sends the "full bitstream" for the...
I had the DMP-BD10AK sold it and purchase the DMP-BD30K Because the latter passes the bitstream of DTS HD Master Audio and Dolby TrueHD to my Pre/Pro Integra DTC-9.8 I also had the Toshiba D1 and sold it and purchase the HD-A35 for the same reason!

About a few days ago I purchased the Toshiba HD-A35 HD-DVD player to connect to my new Integra DTC 9.8 Pre-Amp/Processor. I was hoping to be able to use the pre-pro to decode the new HD sound codecs! Yesterday I received my HD-DVD order of "Eagles Farewell Live from Melbourne" it has DTS HD...

I have been using "Bass Shakers" for a long time. I had mine installed under the sofa, the viewing seating. The device I am using is from Clark Synthesis, the model number is: TST429 Platinum. It gives a tremendous feeling when you play DVD's with good bass (sub-sonics) like Batman Begins...
Last week I purchased the Toshiba HD-A1 player. I researched the best price and options and ended up with Amazon.com. For $459.00 and no tax or shipping costs it was the best way to enter into Hi-Def! The first thing I did was to upgrade the firmware to 2.0 After that I played: Lara Croft's...
