My mechanical room is adjacent to my Ht room and I was wondering if anybody has any ideas on how to reduce the resonating noise transfer coming from the one of my main supply ducts and my return duct. The ducts run just above a door into the HT room (see pic) I am currently in the process of...
I had the audio dropouts a few times when using the optical connection. Now I’m using the HDMI for audio has it has never dropped out (about 20 movies viewed with the HDMI hookup)
I got the new Toshiba H2 player a week ago and have not yet watched a standard DVD on it. I will try it out when I get home and see what I get for audio when using the player with the HDMI cable.
I might be able to help a bit because I have the Yamaha 1600. First off if you don’t have a sound meter setup the system using the supplied YPAO thingy. (now that’s getting technical lol) Put in your movie and hit play then press #5 on the remote. Hitting #5 will cycle you between STANDARD Dolby...
Just because someone will eventually ask what it will fix I will post it up now...... Frequently Asked Questions: Q1. What does this update do? A1. This update addresses some problems Toshiba has identified with HDMI/DVI connectivity and disc playback. Q2. When I connect my HD DVD...
I have the F series from Plateau. They were a bit more then the others but $100 was not bad. The build quality is top notch and it comes with spikes and round feet. Just fill them up with sand and your ready to go.
Ventilation around the unit is fine and I don’t keeps games in the 360 when watching a movie. I have no idea what is causing the fans to run so fast. I solved the problem and just got me a HD-A2 player. Now I sold the 360 HD player so I can get the Sony blu-ray player. The sound when using the...
Got me a HD-A2 unit today and have to say that I love it. Currently I’m running it off of component and toslink because my long HDMI cables are on order. I can’t wait to see how it performs when using the HDMI for audio and video. It is so nice being able to now watch a movie without that...
I have two gripes with the 360 HD DVD I have. First off if you have it anywhere close to you during a movie all you will hear is the fans in the 360 and the dvd player running. My amp rack is built into the wall along the side of the room and I can watch a movie because of the noise distraction...
Take a look a this thread. I’m still new at this but its is my understanding that Using HDMI for audio will allow lossless audio transfer form a player like the Toshiba to my amp. Quote from other thread

Now no need to get sassy….. I re-hooked the old Pioneer system and tested the same movies and found all sounds seemed exaggerated and unclear. The new setup is nice and clear and now I hear the movie the way it was made (loud is loud and quiet is quiet…lol) I guess it is true about having to get...
Due to the distance between my built in rack and TV I need to purchase a 30 foot HDMI cable. I was going to purchase it from monoprice.com due to the fact that people on this site recommend them. I was wondering if I should go to the 22ga cable over the 24 ga one because of the length. If you...
TRUE or BS about the spikes? MIDBASS however is where our problem begins...midbass travels partialy through the air, and partialy through the floor...because we have 2 waves and a slight delay (the wave in the floor goes faster) we are stretching the midbass (altogether a bit of a nasty sort...
I will have to do some reading about flat frequency response to fully understand. I”m just getting into this Ht stuff so I still have a lots to learn. In short does ‘flat speakers’ mean crap speakers?
After posting my first comment last night I was listening to it some more and the rears seem to be fine but the fronts are the ones sounding a bit flat. The real time they sound flat is in action scenes of movies. Could the whole reason for this be the fact that I previously owned a smaller...
I was just wondering if someone might be able to tell me why I might be hearing somewhat of a flat sound from my new setup. Recently I purchased a set of Energy speakers. C-500 fronts, C-200 surrounds, C-C100 centre channel, and a S8.3 sub. I did listen to the same speaker setups in two...
My speakers are made for bi-wire or bi-amp so I thought I would make the most of them at this time. Your right I could have just run a larger wire up to the speaker then split to the bi-wire setup and connect the high and low but when I wired the room a while back I just ran 2 sets of 12ga to...
Oh god I don’t know why I never thought of this earlier today…….. I feel so stupid. Would a 10ga banana plug fit 2 12ga wires? Anyways below is a link to a picture of how it is hooked up now just so you know what I was getting at. Just copy and paste into the address bar and add a (h) to the...
Ya I know bi-wiring is a touchy subject but the HT is all wired up for it and the speakers can do bi-wire or bi-amp. So for now I'm just doing bi-wire because It’s a feature on my speakers and one day I might bi-amp if I think it’s worth it. As far as I know bi-wire can’t hurt can it.....
I hope this question is in the right topic area…… Just wondering what tips you might have when connecting bi-wired speakers to a receiver. Currently I have a Yam RXV659 and I just hate the speaker terminals. In order to install two 12ga speaker wires you have to go from the top and bottom of...
