Hello,
Well I finally got my system running. But then I decided to auto calibrate on my Sony STR-DN 840. This actually did a decent job except for it set my front right speaker at a distance of 3 feet 3 inches and at -10.00db. My front left is at 9 feet and +10.00db. They are both the same distance from my seat. The front right was very quiet and I changed it to match the settings on the front left. Now it sounds much better. Should I have done this? The subwoofer also sounds fine but the settings show it at 29 feet and -3.5db. I'm not sure if this is right since there's no way my sub is 29 feet from my seat. Any thoughts on what I need to change this to? The sub is the same distance as the front speakers. I don't move that to +10db do I?
part 2: Does anyone know what causes an input on the receive to not work all of a sudden? When I turn on my blu-ray it will not show up on the TV. I thought it was the cables but I tested them on other devices and they worked fine. I have BD selected on my receiver and connected right but the screen is black and the player shows it's playing just no picture or audio. When i check the source it shows nothing is connected. Is the receiver just not recognizing the signal from the blu-ray?
thanks to anyone who knows the answers.
