I wasn't reall sure how to word the title, so please excuse it if I butchered it. I'm considering buying a pair of Polk Audio lsi9 speakers, and Polk's recommended amplifier power is 20-200 watts for each (speaker, set of terminals?). From reading the lsi9 manual I downloaded from Polk's...
Wow, I had guessed that the sound might be better coming from the receiver when I had headphones plugged in. In light of all this new stuff, I'm just gonna keep my DVD player with my TV over in the TV's corner of my room. The 2 will be totally seperate from the receiver and other equipment in...
I see your point. Thanks for the advice. One more question. How will my Sennheiser HD-590 headphones sound when plugged into my 27" Sony WEGA tube set (connected to the DVD player via L/R audio cables) as opposed to being plugged into the headphone port of my HK AVR-330 receiver (connected to...
I would like to only use my HK speakers, but I have my system set up a little...weird. My HK receiver is actually hooked up to my computer via an optical cable. My 2 HK bookshelf speakers(only 2 speakers, I don't have a 5.1 system yet) sit on either side of my monitor, so they are my...
Well, I think I may have found my answer. I went over to Harman Kardon's website and downloaded the .pdf owners manual for Harman Kardon's DVD-101 DVD player. The rear jacks on my Sony DVD player are the same as the HK's rear jacks. In the manual, it states this: "NOTE FOR ANALOG AUDIO...
Hey everyone, I have a quick question. I've tried searching the boards but could not find out anything in specific. First, my simple system: Sony Wega KV-27FS120 TV Harman Kardon AVR 230 Receiver with HK speakers Sony DVD Player Ok, here are the connections: 1. Component video...
Yeah, that makes sense. I guess I'll stick to AVIA until I can buy a set later on that justifies the cost of an ISF calibration. I've never calibrated a set before, so I'm sure that after using AVIA I'll be more than satisfied.
After doing some more searching I've read up a little bit on grayscale calibration and it looks pretty advanced. The AVIA calibration disc doesn't cover grayscale calibration, so I'm guessing that grayscale calibration is reserved for when a professional does an ISF calibration (what does ISF...
I've purchased a new direct view Sony KV-27FS120 television for my apartment while I'm in college. I've been reading up on the calibration of WEGA sets through the service menu and also calibration through use of a DVD such as Avia. Through searching I have found "Chuckster's FS WEGA...
That's my prime reason for researching this subject. It was kind of a hassle trying to get the wires into the binding posts since some of them don't unscrew all the way. I spent a ton of time splitting the wire down the middle and then trying to get them to both wrap around the binding post...
Pardon my ignorance of this subject, but I was about to post this question when I decided to do a search on it. This thread came up and it's exactly what I'm looking for. It's really a hassle trying to get the speaker wires through the connectors that don't unscrew all the way off. I see banana...
