OK,
I found out what happened in the 1st place.
The Comcast remote TV mode button somehow got pressed along with the Zoom button.
It wound up putting my TV into 4:3 Expanded display mode.
I NEVER do this intentionally. I guess its rolling around on the couch and throw pillows must have...
I was exploring my settings today and experimented with the Resolution settings in Video Parameters because something changed. A remote fat finger or family member screw up?
I found it set to 480p. I cycled through the 720,1080i, and pure settings (my tv is a 1080i) and got expanded or...
I have an Onkyo Receiver (see signature) and it has 2 two sets of component video inputs and one output set. What is the advantage or draw back of routing my Onkyo DVD through the reciever? Right now I only have the DVD player going directly into the TV via component with the audio going...
Hi Folks, Long time No See. Well the divorce is in full swing and she gets the 5 year old 53" Hitachi Ultravision. I gotta one-up her! I just cannot decide which one. I have not been keeping up with the times in the TV technology. I need your help. I do want 1080p and I am told LCD is...
You did Good, I went all the way and got a pair of the QX10's, 4 each of the QX6's and a QX60c, as I too have a Infinity 12" SUB. Just wait untill they break in! My Setup: http://users.adelphia.net/~allen22/1Audiopage_3.htm We just get spell bound sometimes at how great these things...
I have been out for a while and did a search using Dahlquist as the key word. Nice to see the speakers I have being complemented. I too purchased from Marc. Great Experience! I have All Dahlquist in 7.1 HT. All set to large. 2 QX10s' 4 QX6s' 1 QX60c and an old Infinity BU2 12" 200 watt sub...
Thank You Gentelmen, I think I'm going in for a factory second or B-Stock SVS unit. I am selling my last setup of 4 each Infinity Sterling Series SS2001s' with matching center and the BU2. A great starter setup for 350.00. I have them setup for auditions and a friend listened and was...
A friend who knows I get into my system asks, " I only have 500.00 to spend. I just want surround and to be better than my TV sound. What ould you get?" Anyone have an idea?
Now this is suggested to me for my specific equipment but the principle is something to ponder. I am no expert and do not want to get between my Audio experts and the AVAI engineers opinions but when I went to ALL large, I too will never go back. I think it is not the dimentions that matter, but...
Yes Matching is very important. We had a Infinity center channel for a while before matching up. BIG Improvment. Have a look at our new HT Sound. Links are on the page. Talk to Marc @ audio shop. We are VERY Happy! http://users.adelphia.net/~allen22/page_3.htm
We have new HT sound. Click above gear icon to view equipment. Our Infinity BU2 is 9 years old. It's not a sloppy unit. Just wondering how long can it last? Has it lost quality so slowly I don't notice? Or is it better with age. It has been played every day since purchase. Are newer, year to...
Thank you, That Clears Things Up. I'll put you at ease a bit and say It is a very thin blanket. I should know to be less dramatic and more accurate in my inquiry posts. You good folks take the time to respond and should not be led a stray by over statments. And I Thank You. After reading your...
I am running Onkyo's 800 series Receiver & DVD player through the larger of the QX line of Dahlquist speakers. I am not convinced THX is such a big deal. I have been experimenting with the THX mode and it always sounds like someone tossed a blanket over my system. I am VERY happy with my setup...
My Experiences, You asked For It. The Onkyo TX-SR800 is well equipped to run a 4 ohm load. It is and has been a real strong running receiver. I have all large Dahlquists' and they are set to large. The QX10s' are 4-ohm required and all the others are 6-ohm required. The manual says (P.41)...
Hi Folks, I have a full set of Dahlquists' set up in 7.1. QX10 Fronts, a QX60c Center and 4 QX6. See my system at http://users.adelphia.net/~allen22/page_3.htm . I need to update my page and add the Infinity BU2 Sub. Anyone Bi-wired yet. If so how about a report? After being fully...
We have the OnkyoTX-SR800 receiver connected to an Onkyo DV-SP800 DVD player. The speaker setup is 7.1. We watched "Pearl Harbor" in the DVD's "DTS 5.1" option. WoW! Now my question. The receiver surround option is set to "PL-II Movie". I notice there are more options and have no idea of...
Well it's been a month or so and I would like to report on our new HT. A Hitachi TV, an Onkyo Receiver and Onkyo's top DVD player with Dahlquist speakers and an Infinity BU2 Sub is what we have. (click the gear on the header to see our setup) We whatched Pearl Harbor last night in DTS and...
I have an OnkyoTX-SR800 and I have the choice of binding or plugging the speakers in. I asked an audio shop rep about it and he said he would bind because the plugs would corrode eventually. Hmm? I said they are gold plated. He said they will still corrode over time. I don't know guys. I never...
I have Onkyo's TX-SR800 Receiver & the Onkyo DV-SP800 DVD player. Together with a Sientific Atlanta Digital cable box, Digitaly Coaxed and Analoged to the receiver. (the receiver auto switches to digital when available) I am wondering when do the "Pure" or "Direct" audio modes apply?
