Denon 3802, speakers set to small, x-overed @ 80Hz, levels calibrated. Pro logic seems to be lacking bass, upping the sub level 8-10dB seems to do the trick, any ideas? Dolby Digital/DTS/Stereo all work fine.

MJ Acoustics Pro 50 Denon 3802 Room aprox 13'x12' Link Removed I am thrilled with the British Pro50, okay it's small (8" 50watt sssh!) but it's very tight and has superb transient response. The thing is the readings are a little confusing, why am I not getting a sharp rolloff ~25Hz...

Get my anologue SPL meter in the post this morning, set it all up to calibrate my 3802, start the tones. All my previous 'done by ear' settings were dead on 75dB @ 00! The method I used to do it by ear was; Listen to 2ch CD Adjust front levels so image appears central enable 4ch stereo...

Living in the uk I'm finding it hard to locate any sort of calibration discs, plus the fact none are designed for PAL. I can burn audio tracks to cd and jpeg's to a vcd. Video Calibration Seeing as I use a RGB scart connection from my dvd, colour is fixed so I only want to calibrate...

Also I have the 3802 in a unit with 10cm(4in) clearence above, open front and rear and 1cm each side, is this adequate? I have measured the temp on top of the receiver at 31.6c. Thanks Dom.

I live in the uk and am considering ordering the avia disc from Amazon. Thanks Dom ps Sorry if this isn't the correct forum.

What are the chances of HDTV programming appearing in the UK/Europe within the next 6 years or so, slim to none? Is it basically a case of more channels @ SD or less at HD and the UK has opted for more channels? I ask this because I want to splash out on a nice direct view. Thanks

Please stay with me on this :b Last week lightening struck the telegraph pole next to my house sending a surge through the phone line (blowing the socket off the wall) into my ext modem blowing it to pieces through my pc (which is now dead as a dodo) down the co-ax, around to the other side...

The Problem Oh dear, last week I had an incident with a dodgy lamp sending a load of static through my speakers which I thought may have damaged them although they sounded fine. About a week later I was watching the 51st State on DVD and during a loud explosion (sounded v deep) the right...

What's going on exactly, why aren't HDTV sets available yet? Any information greatly apreciated. Dom

To cut a long story short, Watching 51st State, during the explosion scene near the beginning the right tweeter seems to crackle. The left doesn't, I'm sure it's the tweeter. The volume is not high atall. I have listened to other DVD's, particularly explosions and I can't hear any crackling...

If this as been discussed before or if there are any articles on the net anywhere I'd be intested to see them. What are people's general opinion on center speakers? Are they a trade off in dialogue clarity? Are there any inherant problems with the reciever mixing the center info into the...

Speakers in question are B&W 602 s2's, any actual advantage of filling the ports? I know bass output will be signficently reduced but can you actually gain accuracy because of the extra back pressure? Thanks

I'm a logical thinking kinda guy but this has me scratching my head. Batteries in my Sony 930 receiver remote were running low so I whipped out the Sony ones that came with the remote and chucked in some new Duracell Plus. Press the source change button, display lights up but no information...

In my bid to cure the problem I have of dialogue becoming unclear at moderate to high volumes I need to know how to correctly measure the freq responce of my room as I think this is the problem. My ht produces a very 'peaky' sound at high volumes, u can actually hear the peaks in the sound. My...

This is my first post for months, I've been away from the HTF for a while but it's good to be back, not sure if anybody will remember me. Anyway... The one thing about HT, particularly with my setup, that still baffles me is the pros and cons of using a center speaker, even more confusing...
