D1 - Software update version 1.10 is up (per Anthem) v1.10: 1. Added Dolby Pro Logic IIx (Movie, Music, Matrix, Games). Note that Pro Logic IIx can be applied even if input is 88.2 kHz or 96 kHz PCM, or with Analog-DSP when A/D converter is set to these rates. 2. Added THX Games...
Hmm .. looking up the U.S. dealers about 20 miles from Hollywood : LASERTEK AUDIO VIDEO CENTER - in Rosemead CA 626-288-0200 Dunno if this helps or not...
Gary, Just as an FYI - One of the last few issues of S&V compared the AVM30 vs. the C2 and another controller. They put it on top overall. BUT - I would strongly suggest you get a chance to listen to them both and decide what features are important to you. Side-note: Having been able to...
Victor, What sound are you trying to get? Sound for the games in 7.1 or movies? If games, use the 3 mini-plug analog connections from the sound card and use the 7.1(5.1?) analog input on your receiver. You will need 3 vidcam cables (3 RCA connections to a mini-plug)to plug into the 3...
Hi Glenn, I'm pretty sure that the D1 will sound good with any amp - Levesque has me convinced to go to P5/P2 combination ;) (but I have certain requirements that I must meet - check out the D1/AVM30 thread in this forum) Currently I'm using 2 MCA20's and an MCA30 for 7 channel. I would...
True enough ... but I was remarking against the title of the thread. But, I also wouldn't agree that having the DVD player do the duty is the best option either (even though it looks to be the only option) :wink:
So .. while waiting for DPLIIx - a question came to mind... If the D1 upconverts DTS (and DD) to 24/192 -- does this have a detrimental effect if you are playing a DTS 24/96 medium? Maybe I'll ask Nick too :confused:
Someone had posted a similar question of comparing the AVM30 to the D1 in another forum. I pasted some excerpts of what was written there: ...seriously though, you may as well have asked if the base 6 cylinder Ford Mustang - can beat the V8 Mustang Bullet in a race. I don't know how long...
Oooh .. Dolby PLIIx - is in beta now. Certain users on other forums are testing it out on the D1 now. I guess we should look forward to a software update soon (I hope)
Thanks guys, Nick gave me some pointers on what to be on the lookout for. (I'm hoping it's one of those) -as my AVM20 - was plugged in exactly the same way but was silent. :frowning:
Just out of curiosity, does your D1 buzz? - I can hear a distinct buzz at about 1 foot or less (due to the 2 toroidal transformers or the backlight?) - I know the AVM20 was an iron core transformer - but ran pretty much dead silent.
Ah ... more fuel to my fire Thanks Chris ;) - I'll go and check that one out as well. Mike, they (the store ;)) may have a D1 setup by Thursday or Friday. I was in on the weekend, getting the dimensions on the P5 - it's a few inches longer than the MCA! So, they said they're expecting a D1...
Hmm ... Things Tom needs to do to get the P5 1) have an electrician put in 2 new 20 amp cicuits 2) build a new brace to support the weight of the P5 (165 pounds(!) for that one alone - haven't even counted the weight of the P2 yet...) 3) sell my MCA amps 4) sell my car 5) then borrow the...
So .. just breaking in the D1 over the weekend :D Anthem tech support got back to me, something is up with the silkscreening, as they moved the 'upsampling' logo to the top right - somehow the DTS logo shrunk (or got shortened). My guess is that this may possibly be rectified on the...
Grr ;) - they had a P5 at my dealer and he was asking me if I wanted that put aside ... I said 'not yet' - then he asked me to lift it (as a joke!) Now, on another note - from my observations: Differences between the Statement A5 and MCA50 - is: a) blue light on A5 :D b) same specs to...
Mike ... are you kidding? The D1 was out of the box before I could get it down the stairs ;) So I've calibrated it, and noticed one thing immediately, in my environment. It plays louder at the same config/dimensions my AVM20 was at - by my guess 3.0 - 3.5 dB. Then I watched the...
Ok .. I just got it tonight ... Wow!! in 5 days too (I was told up to 5 weeks). Now, when I look at the manual picture - it clearly shows the DTS 96/24 in the logo, however on my Statement it does not have the 96/24. Does the unit have DTS 96/24 or is that in another release?
Well ... here it is I guess. Since there already is the AVM20 - thread, this is the successor thread. So, I don't have much to write yet (I'm preamp-less at the moment - waiting for my D1 delivery)- how many of us have upgraded from the 20? :D
