I didn't know there was such a thing. Where do I look for the "auto-detect" setting you mention? Is it on the remote?Any certain button? Your help and guidance is appreciated. Thanks, Brent
I've got a problem with my receiver and am hoping someone might have the answer. I've got it connected to my cable box so that it automatically changes to whatever audio type is being played on the TV. For example, when watching regular stations (not PPV) the receiver plays in the normal...
I've looked through the entire Rcvr. manual to see if there were some other way of adjusting the speaker levels without going through the 'Speaker Set-up, level calibration sub-menu' and there isn't. It's the only way the speakers can be adjusted independently. The receivers test tone is...
I've run across a stumbling block while trying to calibrate my speakers and hope someone has run across the same type of issue or has some advice on how I may resolve this. I have an Onkyo TX-SR800 receiver and I first tried to get my speakers as even as I could, using my receivers own...
Thanks for the response. I posted the same question on the AVs forum and got a lot of feedback. It seems that someone who just received their sub. had also received a flyer in their carton that explains the reason for the mix-up,basically explaining they wanted to use up all their...
After all the great feedback I got regarding SVS subwoofers,I recently ordered the PB12-NSD. However,upon receiving it, I noticed that the serial # sticker on the back had it labeled as a PB12-ISD. (which sounded a little strange as the stickers can't cost more than a few cents) I'd...
OK,I got the message.They are THAT good. I went ahead and ordered the PB12-NSD without the slightest reservation.Thanks to everyone for the feedback. Now,everything I've read points to having the SPL meter to set it up properly(but do I really need the Avia disc or can I just use the...
Yes,the FX-500i's have a knob on it that allows you to switch between dipole or bipole. So placing the FX 500i's on the sides leaves me with the RT-35's to be placed on the back wall as my rear surround spkrs. Is there a specific height they should be placed at for the rear? As I...
I have a question about 'which speakers would be best to put where?' I've got Polk speakers and am currently using the my RT-35's as my side speakers and a single Polk CS-300 as my back speaker. However, I'm moving into a larger room where I'll be able to take advantage of my pair of Polk...
Mike, Thanks for the reply and informing me about 'clipping'. I'm in the hunt for a sub. and see this term often and just wanted to make sure I understood everything. I doubt very seriously anybody will be cranking their systems to the point that it taxes their sub(or anything else for...
In looking over the reviews for a new subwoofer, I noticed there were a lot of notes regarding 'clipping'. Obviously,I'm not a pure 'audiophile' but I do enjoy good, quality equipment) Could someone explain 'clipping' to me in understandable terms? Is it something I need a SPL meter and...
My sub recently died on me. I'm planning to take a look at a B&W ASW1000 . In reading all I could about this sub, all the reviews pointed out that this seemed to be a fine sub, but very "picky" regarding it's placement, and tuning. Is this really a big issue with this subwoofer that I...
