We finally replaced our 9 year old Samsung JS8500 with a new 77" LG C3. I was trying to find an ISF calibrator but was told they don't do the OLED displays because almost everyone complains about how dark they look after calibration. I've been watching with the settings set to "Cinema" and the...

The URC remotes work very well. I was using one before I purchased and replaced it with the Harmony Elite. The only issue I was having with my URC was it was an older version and no longer as user friendly as the newer version. With URC they also need to be professionally programmed by an...

A minor headache for an otherwise fantastic remote. It's been so long since I've wanted to reconfigure anything, and the remote works so well I forgot how to use it. Appreciate you getting me down the right path.

I am all up and running now. Seems moving the hub closer to the computer did the trick, thanks!

I was able to get everything working using my phone but for some reason I'm still having an issue using the software on my HTPC. For some reason my PC isn't seeing the hub or remote. I'll keep playing around with it and see if I can get the remote to sync using my PC software. Not sure if...

I have not tried the mobile app, I suppose I can give that a try. I'm using a windows 10 computer.

I'm having an issue with my Harmony Elite and Hub. Our internet router stopped working and needed to be replaced. After connecting the new router and getting back online I noticed that the light on the Harmony hub is red. I went into the app on my computer and followed the wizard for setting...

I have been seeing some significant discounts on the 4400H and have been considering purchasing one to replace my Pioneer SC67. Are there any owners of the 4400H who are unhappy with their choice? Would I be better off to wait for prices to drop on the 4500H? They both seem so close that I...

if your receiver has more than one calibration memory settings than you can calibrate one of them with your speakers set to small for movies and another one with speakers set to large for two channel music.

I'm not sure if this will help you or not but here is how we have our Karaoke system configured. Audio from computer is connected to the Audio "in" inputs on the back of our karaoke machine. Audio is connected to our AVR from the audio "out" on the back of our karaoke machine. Video goes...

Thanks. My 60's aren't true full range. I think paradigm refers to them as 2/1/2 way speakers but I can consider them full range because they can handle bass down to 30 Hz which is lower than many "full range speakers". In my current set up I have my two front speakers bi-amped using an Adcom...

Thanks Sam. Separates will be out of my budget so I'm better off with another AVR. Are you talking about the X3500H? I was wondering if that would have enough juice to drive my speakers adequately. it seems to have all of the features I would need and I like Denon.

Some of you may already be familiar with my 4K issue with my Pioneer SC67. I purchased a 4K DVD player to replace my failing Sony Bluray player and the new player was unable to pass both video and audio through the same HDMI output. To use the player in my system I had to run a second HDMI...

What John said. Squaring up the projector with the wall is probably the most important thing to get right when mounting and adjusting your projector. Everything else can be dialed in using the projectors adjustments and the mount adjustments.

Thanks for the explanation Brian. That makes perfect sense. I was at BB a few months ago taking a look at the Magnolia gear. The rep was kind enough to spend about an hour letting me audition some nice equipment I had no intention of purchasing. We started talking home theater control and...

I really love my Paradigm Studio reference speakers. They're Version 2 and I've had them for almost 20 years. They aren't THX certified of course but they've been well cared for and sound amazing. I'm still wondering if they are broken in yet...:)

I did the same thing on mine. In fact this thing is so user friendly even my wife and kids understand how to use it and that's saying a lot. I added the commands to the touch screen for each activity so they're familiar and easy to get too. You can even edit the name of each command which is...

I want to say that mine already did this on it's own when I created the different activities and that surprised me. For example if I switch between two activities which require my projector to remain on it already seems to recognize that my projector is on and only switches the two video...

You have me pegged on that one :).

This is exactly how I've always viewed it as well.

Never mind I finally figured it out.

First off I love this remote. The only thing I haven't been able to figure out is how to add some functions to the activity that's been selected. What I mean is lets say I'm watching a movie. The remote swithes everything and then the controls on the remote work for the DVD player and I still...

Just realized how low my post count is for a guy who's been here since January of 1999! I need to post more lol.

Good observation. Makes sense that Dolby Atmos could be the reason. THX certification was a good way of knowing that an amp or receiver was good enough to comply with the strict testing parameters.

You really want the speakers at ear level if you hang them. Sometimes the dimensions of our rooms doesn't always provide us with the best placement for speakers. As far as the speaker choices go I would try and demo them and purchase the speakers that sound the best to you and are with in...

Just an observation. I've been browsing new receivers just to see what's available and I'm noticing that the high end models don't seem to be THX certified. I'm not really in the market right now but it appears that becoming THX certified is less important to the manufacturers as it used to be...

Yes I've read this in the manual and have always used the BD HDMI input for my player. My new 50 Foot HDMI cable arrived today. I've tested it and it works so I'll be opening up the ceiling and running a second cable so I can run the video directly to my projector. I'm going to install some...

I remember the 4K compatibility among other features at the time was a huge selling point for me when I was shopping for this receiver. The price of early adoption indeed. If this receiver didn't sound so good and still perform all of its other functions I would probably just purchase...

John, This is what doesn't makes sense to me either. It does explain why the X700 has to HDMI outputs but like you said if it can pass through the video why can't it pass through the audio and video from the same output? There must be something in the receiver that won't read each signal...

Yes, and sadly I have the last firmware update for this receiver. It will pass through the 4K video signal and that's it. I'm going to open up my walls and do what should have done when I built the room and that's run a second HDMI cable to the projector. I should have a back up cable there...
