I know this is a ancient post, but what did you end up doing? I currently have a project coming up (in the planning stages now) where the customer has no place for a center channel except for in the ceiling (they don't want a subwoofer anywhere either....so gonna have to be sending bass to the...
So on Christmas Eve my 31 month old Samsung LCD tv died. It started out as a black 8th inch dead pixel line from top to bottom, from there a 3 inch white vertical line and then finally a grainy mess all the way across the TV. So I called up Samsung the day after Christmas and got no where cause...
Just a FYI for everyone, my TV (Samsung LN55B650) and Blu-Ray Player (Samsung BD-C5500) is HDMI 1.3. My AVR (Denon DHT-591) is HDMI 1.4. These specs shouldn't make any difference but I wanted to put them out there.
@ schan1269 - You are completely right, I should not have been messing around with the service menu sound (or anything in the service menu for that matter) settings. But, it was late and I was tired of the issue and my brain was not working properly....lame excuse I know :-) I did however look...
@ Jason Charlton - I'm not running any sound out of the TV. The problem is, the sound that comes out of my home theater speakers happens before the picture. When someone says "yes", you hear the sound and then about a half second to one second there mouth will move and you can see they said yes...
So I was watching Sherlock Holmes (Game Of Shadows) last night on Blu-Ray and the lip sync (sound after picture) was really bad!! So I pulled up the menu on my AVR (Denon 591) and adjusted the delay to the max (200ms) and it was a little better, but still off. So I grabbed my Watchman Blu-Ray...
Go with the Denon DHT-591BA. . . .about $100 cheaper but sounds WAY BETTER!!! If I had to choose between Onkyo Speakers(not known for there speakers) and Boston Acoustics, I would pick the Boston Acoustics. Just my opinion. CB750 was right on about the speakers though. Everyone's ears are...
I'm afraid there is no fix. I have a similar problem that I'm trying to resolve for a customer who installed a Bose Speaker System with a Harman Kardon AVR. Except with him, it's the front's left and right that shut off(or at least i can't get any sound out of them). I was on the phone with Bose...
Don't go with Bose!! BOSE SUCK!!! They are over priced, they don't sound good at all and there systems have no room for addition's!! I have had customers buy there system cause some idiot of a sale's person convinced they that Bose was the best thing since sliced bread and I installed it just to...
I'm in the process of moving all my HT gear into the hall closet cause my son is at that age where he gets into EVERYTHING. . . .plus I have always wanted to have a HT Gear Closet. So I have run all my other cables(16/2, RG6, RG59, Cat5e, etc) and I'm down to the last run and that is my HDMI...
Well I called up Desco Audio And Video and I found out that Samsung is not a ISF "stamped" product. Meaning, it is not a ISF Certified Product. . . . .I thought that was odd!! Oh well. . . .maybe I'll check into the THX that Gregg Loewen suggested. . . .I will keep y'all posted. . . . . . . . ...
GET THEM. . . .YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!!! I used to have all Klipsch Synergy Speakers(when i had a full time job and extra money) and they were the best speaker I ever owned!!! Just my opinion. . . . . .I will agree with the other guys(or girls), Klipsch horns are bright, but there horns!!
So I have been considering getting my 55' Samsung LCD calibrated by my local Home Theater specialist(www.descoav.com) but I'm wondering if it is really worth the money? I listen to a lot of Home AV Podcast's and read a ton of information on the AV forums and a lot of the HD/TV Tech's recommend...
I have the Samsung LN55B650 as well and I have the exact problem, BUT only when I turn on the Motion Plus!!! If I shut the Motion Plus off the Lip Sync is correct. . . . .!! I have a 2009-2010 Denon Receiver and I thought that would fix it, but it didn't :( Also I can't get into the "Programming...
My living room is 15x17(i was off by about 200SQF). I had a JBL system(SCS145.5) and it worked okay but the satellites were too small. I know that whatever I get is not going to be my Klipsch Synergy's but just something that will sound more full than my tv speakers. What about the Onkyo...
So I happen to run across this the other day and wondering what y'all think. I have installed a lot of Marantz and Denon equipment and they both are great products(i prefer Denon over Marantz, but we won't go there. . .LOL) but, I'm kinda leery about the speakers. Anyone know anything about...
I had to sell my Home Theater System(Klipsch Synergy Speakers and a Yamaha Receiver) in January to pay bills cause worked slowed down, and I'm going insane not having some type of Home Theater System
Okay, I blew up my 10" JBL sub and I need to get a new sub now(along with a new receiver to replace my Yamaha HTR-5650. . . . . . .i'm looking at the Denon AVR-3310CI. . . .am i on the right track?). So I have been looking at the Velodyne's and the Martin Logan's. I want to spend around $500...
You read my mind mattCR. I have mainly installed/sold Harmony 1100's and 900's. I have never had really any problems with the Logitech Harmony remotes and have never had a call back. The only thing I have heard some clients complain about is that the Logitech Harmony Remotes are...
Okay I feel really dumb asking this kind of dumb question(only cause i have installed home theater systems and sold many customers Logitech products for the last 3 years) but is Nevo better than Logitech? I switched to a new supplier for my products and they don't sell Logitech, they sell Nevo...
Okay, I went into my closest Magnolia Hi-Fi Showroom(Bellevue WA) cause I need a new sub woofer(sold my JBL el-cheapo to pay off a bill). Decided on a Martin Logan Dynamo 500(i have a 250 -/+ sqf living room) but while I was there I was looking at the new HD AVR's and decided it was time to look...
