Not exactly. Setting level and distance are separate. I can handle setting level which is the hard part. I'm confused with the seemingly simple task of measuring speaker distance.
This may sound like a silly question, but when measuring surround speaker distance do you measure from listening position directly to speaker or simply the distance behind the listening position. My surrounds are 1' behind listening position but when measured directly they are about 5' due to...
Could someone explain the best procedure for calibrating 5.1 speaker setup. Also what role reference volume level plays in calibration. I saw this as part of the Primer but I can't get the page to load, it simply redirects me to the home theater forum home page. Also, I have a sound level meter...
Thanks for the link to the review. It sounds pretty good. I have a Pioneer dvd player and have liked it but was unsure about their receivers. Anyone have anything to say about Pioneer in general? Thanks.
Thanks. Small correction, the review in S&V was for the vsx-815 not 816. The 815 was one of their picks for 2005. Any other info is appreciated. Thanks.
Can anyone tell me anything about the Pioneer vsx-516. I'm looking for a receiver around $200 dollars for a small home theater, 25'x11'. I read the review of the vsx-816 in Sound and Vision, but I do not need all those bells and whistles, i.e. auto setup, XM compatibility. Just a solid performer...
The dvd player is interlaced, I am using the tv for the conversion to progressive. It is strange but very apparent when watching movies. Especially 2.35:1. It looks like there is some sort of interference but I cannot find anything that could be causing it. What is the overscanning problem...

Thanks for all the replies. First my dvd player is hooked straight to the tv on component video. I have tried different inputs and it still does this. Also, when it flashes it will do it with the movie playing AND with just the player on. But it does it at random times. Also I can turn the...
I cannot frame step, it happens all the time. I've noticed now that it happens also when the dvd is not being played but the player is on. It does not occur until I turn the player on. Again though, it does not happen all the time. I went three months without seeing it at all.
I have an Hitachi 57f500 and Sony DVD player. While watching rental DVD's I have had white flashes appear around the edges of the screen. This has happened with three different players. I don't think it is the TV because it only happens during DVD's. It doesn't happen with DVD's I own except...
