Ya, I turned off the TV speakers...Anyway, the sound on NBC, for the openning ceramony, was better last night. The low volumes are very apparent on Vh1/Mtv.

OK. I have a new WEGA FV-27FV17 connected to an Onky 575 with Mostercable Interlink (I think that is the model name) cables. I have to put the Onkyo on Max to get any kind of decent sound, even with the TV in "fixed audio" mode. And then I get hissing becausethe ONKY is cranked upso much...

Richard- Yes, I have the same ONKYO. I can turn on RE-EQ and still feed a DTS Signal to it via an optical cable from the Sony DVD Player. I believe the ONKYO display showed DTS, so I assume it received the signal. Whether or not it interprets it correctly, and based on the problem at hand I...

I had "dropouts" as well, but they were actually on the DTS track...Here are my findings: I had a feature called RE-EQ (re-Equalization) on our Onkyo Receiver activated. This feature takes "the brightness" out of DTS/Dolby recordings to compensate for not being in an actual theater. This...

OK. I actually just figured out the problem. I had a feature called RE-EQ (re-Equalization) on our Onkyo Receiver activated. This feature takes "the brightness" out of DTS/Dolby recordings to compensate for not being in an actual theater. This feature was the culprit.

Hello. When playing my Pearl Harbor DVD in DTS I notice a problem I have never heard on any other DTS disk. Every once in a while, the sound glitches/cuts out. For those with the disks, one scene in particular is on the second disk, first scene...when the bugle is playing. The problem...

I am using an optical cable from DVD to the Onkyo. But Alas, I figured out my problem! I still had the DVD set to DTS output. Once I set it back to Dolby Digital, all worked fine. I set all speakers to the same db output, like you calibrated to 75 but will watch at 60-65, and it sounds even...

OK. This is a two-part speaker config question. Let me start by saying that the present system, calibrated merely by using the speaker-distance settings on my ONKYO Receiver (made same distance settings on the SONY DVD) and by my own ears in listening to a few DVDs, sounds great. Sometimes I...

OK. I originally posted this on the thread a few back, afterwards realizing it was in regards to a different model. Anyway, I just bought a Sony Wega KV-27FV17. I am experiencing a buzzing noise from the tube area. From a viewer standpoint, it appears to be from the rear, and lower left. It is...

OK. I too just bought a KV-27FV17. I too am experiencing this buzz. Unberable at plug in, it is dimminishing even a day later. However, mine is plugged into a quite new Monstercable Power--Strip, so I doubt that is the issue. Could it just be from all the shipping...that things just need to...

Here is a reponse I got from DeCorp today: "We will begin selling 50' and 100' rolls with connectors through our web sight by the end of January. Our product line will range from 12 - 18 AWG, all less than 13/1000 of an inch thin. Prices are dependant on style and AWG you choose. Our...

Speaking of speaker stands...Can you recommend a good pair in the 4'-5' height range. I have CSW 5.1 surrounds, that I will use the stands for. The stands will be on plush carpet, and I will move them from the storage area (behind the listeners) to an area beside the listeners when playing...

Thanks for everyone's input and reply. As many agree that experimentation is key, what about if I invest in some nice stands, say some ~4' high. Then I can place behind, to the sides, or whatever. This would not be to test and then mount on the walls once I find the most desired arrangement, as...

John- So, you are just "over the hill" ... to Santa Cruz that is, LOL!

Many of my faves are listed, but one of the WORST had to be; "Behind Enemy Lines." To much unbelievable action, and, it seemed as if the director was trying to impress us with constant music/editing style changes, etc etc etc.

Hello. I would like to get your opinion on the placement of 'surround' speakers. I have CSW (Cambridge Soundworks) Model 5.1, which have both BiPolar and Dipolar settings. I have read so much about where to place surrounds; Many are conflicting opinions. Here are the options pertaining to my...

Thanks for the replies. Guess I'll need to pop on over to my local Radio Shack tonight! =)

Alex: Thanks for your reply. I knew I would confuse everyone, especially when I make a few mistakes in my own original post. I have edited it, but here is the basic change: -The current wire under the carpet is 18-gauge, and I was considering splicing more 18-gauge, not 16-gauge, to the end...

Can someone recommend an inexpensive sound meter for speaker placement/output testing? As this will not be used but maybe a few times, I would rather not spend a fortune. Thanks in advance for sharing your knowledge.

I have been very happy with Cambridge Soundworks (CSW). Though larger, they are build/sound waaay better than BOSE. And they are much more reasonabily priced. I have the Movieworks 5.1 package. http://www.cambridgesoundworks.com

Hello. I am faced with an issue, call it a problem, that I have a few options to resolve. I would appreciate your opinion. Please excuse my narrative if lengthy: Current Situation: I have wiring under the carpet for my CSW Movieworks 5.1 Surround Speakers. Unfortunately, this wire is...

I am in a similar situation. My viewers sit 6-10 feet from the viewing area. I presently have the Sony KV-27FV17 Wega on order. Got it for $675.00 from Cambridge Soundworks; I have Cambridge Soundworks 5.1 speakers. the only 32" that will work with my enetertainment center from IKEA is the...
