My ideal HT setup would have to include this receiver along with an acoustically treated space that would really allow the atmos experience to shine. I would love to use the overhead speaker application, as this would really allow for the best sound localization or spacial placement for the...

I am wondering why Home Theater and UltimateAVMag do not have a review of the HSU ULS-15 or VTF-3 MK3 and the SVS PB13 Ultra and the PB12 Plus. I see that UltimateAVMag did a review of the VTF-3 back in 2002, but that is a long time ago. It is just a thought considering these two companies and...

This was originally a question to Robert, and he asked me to post it to the forum...thank you all for your help. In the message below I close with "suits my needs". I should probably more clearly define this. I have all Paradigm speakers...2 7se towers for fronts, 2 Mini Monitors for rears...

I was lucky and got my 3808CI from Amazon for $1299.99. I was wondering...how do I get the ability to use the 32 point Audyssey Pro? Thanks

In truth I was merely stating an observation regarding some reviews I have read, where the reviewer stated that the Pro-111FD would now become part of their test set-up and used to compare sources, such as DVD etc. and other displays. This is not my opinion. I am not a professional. I...

Hey, no problem Brett...thanks for your insightful and valuable contribution. I am always glad to read quality posts that add real value to the discussion and don't, in any way, attack any one for their contribution.

Some professional reviewers actually use the Kuro Elite as part of their test set-up. Imagine having a "reference" display in your home. Hands down...if you want the best in picture quality both in black levels, depth, color, shadow detail etc. etc. the list is endless then you only have one...

Now that is what I am talking about...thanks Douglas. It is great to hear about technologies, experiences and results based on expectations and real gut feelings. I can't wait to get my Pro-111FD calibrated!

Thank you for sharing. I completely defend calibration and am in support of it. I just wanted to hear from some of the people who have benefited from the procedure. Much is said about “seeing what the directors intended you to see” and I am on board with that. My questions are as...

I completely understand you and respect your opinion and position. Unfortunately, what really confuses me is that no one ever speaks to this subject except calibrators. Again...with respect, I am hoping that there would be a huge difference in results between a 15 minute or a 3 to 4 hour...

Just wondering what your thoughts are...thanks.

Gary, I think I have discovered that HDMI is how you get pure bitstream. Thanks

Hey Gregg, nice to hear from you. So if I get my Pioneer Pro-111FD professionally calibrated at 150hrs do I need to re-calibrate at 1 year? Aside from the earlier question, how often do you need to professionally calibrate displays? Hear is a real good question for you...how far off are these...

Thank you for your helpful responses. 150 hours is the recommended break-in per ISF. I love the idea of renting the DVE...super, thanks. After I master it I can buy it then re-use it when necessary.

Amazon customers complain about the same thing...go figure.

Thanks Heinz, I have taken advantage of all the information available and have set up my set for break-in with all the settings you can imagine to protect the display. I am now pursuing DVD options for calibration and information about this process as well as information regarding the proper...

Thank you...

I am waiting for a year to bring in a professional to calibrate my Pioneer Pro-111FD per the salesman recommendation. So I was looking for a quick way to take a look at the proper settings for my display using a set-up disc...anyone out there have any suggestions about the choices above, thanks?

Robert, Aaron, Ronald: Thanks for your responses and the info on break in. I did follow all the rules you mentioned. As you pointed out, plasma owners with large investments into their equipment will not mind going the extra mile for increased security regarding the life and performance of...

I have a new Pioneer Elite Kuro Plasma Display Pro-111FD and I avoid any stations with fixed stock tickers etc. The one thing I can't avoid is the icons in the corners of almost all stations currently on my satellite feed. For example NatGeo has an Icon on thier HD channel and so does the Food...

Gary, Thanks for replying. I found the "professional", but was unable to find the "pure bitstream". I found the settings, while a disc is playing, that allow you to select audio, but this is not the same. All I really want to do is have the very best video/audio going from the HDMI out of my...

I too purchased a Pioneer plasma (Pro-111FD). My installation is different but check out Sanus.com. Good luck.

Thanks all...I have a 25' coax cable with gold ends. So I took your advice and bought some adapters and it works. My only concern is that it does not have heavy duty copper or shield, but since it has gold ends I am assuming it is better than the cheap crap you get with equipment (bundled). I...

Thank you for the great review. Would you please answer a couple questions for me? I cannot find the settings for "pure bit stream" and "professional". Where can I find these settings, thanks.

What is the best cable to run from my Denon 3808CI "sub out" to my powered Paridigm PS100 subwoofer? Thank you all.

Impact Acoustics raves about their HDMI cables, claiming HDMI and Simplay certification. I was just wondering if anyone has used these cables or if any reviews have been posted, thank you.
