    Basic Calibration Question

    What you see with a display that provides a nearly linear grayscale (@ 6500k ntsc std.), is what the director of the film intended for you to see. That's a "perfect world" setting. The room is light controlled, the black and white levels are correctly set, the color decoders are working...

    confusion about calibration

    An Art. or is it Science? Mr. Golitsis is absolutely correct! Everything that affects where the user settings end up is predicated more on art than science, unless accurate testing equipement is used on both displays in darkened environments. Even then the chances of having identical...

    Question about Panasonic 47wx53

    Andy, try to keep out of the service menus for at least the first 100 hours. Pannys, and most other rptvs with crts need at least that much time to "settle in". All of the other guys have been giving you some real good suggestions, especially when it comes to slowing down a bit and reading...

    static sound from left surround

    Zach, try flipping the surround outputs l.to r. or whatever. If the sound travels to the new speaker, it is an amp issue. If the buzzin sound still comes from the same speaker, then the speaker is the problem. At what db level did you "calibrate" your setup. The test tones, when REALLY loud...

    anyone actually DISLIKE a center channel speaker?

    After reading all of the threads I feel that one important factor has been overlooked... Matched db output. A $35.00us investment in a sound pressure level meter (SPL)will do more for your systems, stereo to 7.1. Matched speakers are the start. Getting them to surround you equally is the art.
