    Sony HW40ES Frozen and now Broken?

    Got home today, my brother was playing ps4 on my projector. I was in the room when he went to turn it off. He turned the receiver off and a static image came up on the projector, like this: http://silverspaceship.com/static/shot_2.png When we tried to turn the projector off, we couldn't. It...

    Setting Up Speakers, Need help with receiver settings

    Ah, I see now. I think I saw the option to change the scale in my receiver earlier, I'll probably change because now that I think about it that makes more sense that way.

    Setting Up Speakers, Need help with receiver settings

    Thanks to both of you for the tips. I re-ran setup using a tripod 100% of the time and the distances seem to be right, and it set the following as my dB level for the speakers: Front L: -8.5dB Front R: -9.0dB Center: -9.0dB Subwoofer: -9.5dB Surround L: -6.5dB Surround R: -5.5dB For now I...

    Setting Up Speakers, Need help with receiver settings

    So if I set all the speakers to small I should do a universal crossover of 80hz?

    Setting Up Speakers, Need help with receiver settings

    So when you say put the main at 40 for crossover, and leave the rest at 80, which setting/speaker do you mean by main? For the Mic for the tests some the position to place the mic was next to a chair and some of the tests the position was right where a chair was. When the position was next to a...

    Setting Up Speakers, Need help with receiver settings

    I have the following: Front Speakers: Klipsch RF-62ii Center : Klipsch RC-62ii Side Surrounds: Klipsch RB-61ii Sub: Outlaw Ultra X-12 Receiver: DENON AVR-X1100W So, I ran Audyssey, but it just didn't seem right. The distances looked good, but it set all the speakers to really low -dB, to the...

    Projector Mount Question

    I wasn't sure if it was actually possible to mount it to the ceiling without a drop tube, but if you can attach it simply to the ceiling using the mount I have then I guess I wouldn't need one. As for the placement range, I know there is a sweet spot for distance and screen size, where you kind...

    Projector Mount Question

    I have a Sony HW40ES and Carada 110" screen that I would like to set up next week. Problem is, I don't have my actual theater seating yet. I ended up buying a whole new set of speakers, sub-woofer, and receiver on black Friday, so I will be using some chairs we already have until early next year...

    Speakers and Sub Ordered, Need Receiver Help, Dolby Atmos, Multiple Subs, etc.

    Just an update. After a lot of back and forth I went with a Denon x1100w from accessories4less. With a three year warranty total came to $365.More than I planned on spending but it had all the features I need now and some I may want in the future, so it was worth it in my mind. The denon x2000...

    Speakers and Sub Ordered, Need Receiver Help, Dolby Atmos, Multiple Subs, etc.

    Alright, I'm just gonna try to find a Denon for around $250 I guess. Is Audyssey Bronze(the lower one) still good enough, to the point where I don't need to spend more to get a receiver with the better version?

    Speakers and Sub Ordered, Need Receiver Help, Dolby Atmos, Multiple Subs, etc.

    Interesting...So since all the atmos receivers have 4k but not true hdmi 2.0 you aren't gonna buy one until there is a chip out there that is correct. Hmmm sounds like a good idea to wait.

    Speakers and Sub Ordered, Need Receiver Help, Dolby Atmos, Multiple Subs, etc.

    Alright, thanks for the advice! Also, what is your opinion on Atmos? I'm thinking wait it out, seems too much in its infancy especially as far as content/Blu-Rays.

    Speakers and Sub Ordered, Need Receiver Help, Dolby Atmos, Multiple Subs, etc.

    Heh...I had to google it lol. So pretty much this: If I decide I don't need a receiver with atmos, and my priority is gaming and movies with little music, I should aim to get a receiver with 7.1(.2 doesn't matter because it's just an internal Y splitter/marketing BS), and with Audyssey. Onkyo...

    Speakers and Sub Ordered, Need Receiver Help, Dolby Atmos, Multiple Subs, etc.

    I've heard some people say that the lack of Audyssey made them opt for Denon or another brand over Onkyo. Is Audyssey really that much better vs the other equivelants? So I will for sure try to get one with 7.1 then. And just so I understand this part correctly: A receiver that is 7.1 used with...

    Speakers and Sub Ordered, Need Receiver Help, Dolby Atmos, Multiple Subs, etc.

    Okay, I have a pair of Klipsch RF-62iis, an RC-62ii, and a pair of RB-61iis on the way, along with a single LFM-1 Plus sub on the way. Display will be a Sony HW40ES and Carada 110" Screen. Will be using a Sony BDPS6200 Blu Ray player, and playing PS4 games. Not a lot of music. My room dimensions...

    Seating Advice

    So, I have my projector and screen, still need to prep room(clear it out and paint it), but I am having trouble deciding on what to do for seating. I've decided that I want two rows, and will likely do 3 home theater recliners in the front, and a riser in the back with a couch we already have on...

    Craigslist Ad Question

    Alright, sounds good, just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing out on an awesome deal or anything. As for the projector, I was originally gonna go with a BenQ W1070, but seeing as the Sony is on sale for $2000, I figured I should step it up. The screen was more expensive than I originally...

    Craigslist Ad Question

    Really shouldn't be asking this, or even looking at this Craigslist ad due to the fact that I just ordered a Sony HW40ES along with a 110" Carada Screen, but I'm just curious here. I stumbled across this craigslist ad: http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/dak/ele/4715139075.html From the...

    Transformers Age of Extinction blu Ray problem

    Okay, last night I tried to watch the new transformers 3d blu Ray but couldn't because it would not play properly. I have a ps4 and an LG bd645 for 3d blu Ray players with a pioneer vsx 821(I think?). I usually use the lg since it has a remote and usually plays blu Rays better than the ps4...

    Subwoofer Selection and Placement Advice

    Well, it appears moving the TV, reciever, and PS4 to the back wall is an option, so wireless will not be needed. So, one last thing. The BIC F12 is $184 shipped on Amazon. The Dayton sub-1500 is $199 shipped on PE The extra $15 means nothing to my friend, so should he just wait a few days for...

    Subwoofer Selection and Placement Advice

    Alright, he will probably be going with the F12. We watched a video on Subwoofer Crawl, seems simple enough. Only problem with his setup is its gonna be hard to put it anywhere besides next to his TV stand. I realize I didn't properly attach the picture of his layout earlier, but it should be...

    Subwoofer Selection and Placement Advice

    Thanks for the suggestions! Do you think going with a 15 is necessary? I saw that Cnet says the Dayton is only $179 shipped, but I'm having trouble finding a website with that price, or with it in stock period. Also, where do you think is a good placement for it in the room layout I uploaded...

    Subwoofer Selection and Placement Advice

    So my friend is looking to add a sub to his current setup. He currently has an Onkyo Htc-rc 330 receiver(http://www.onkyousa.com/Products/model.php?m=HT-RC330&class=Receiver), and two bookshelf speakers along with a passive sub. The bookshelf speakers are sitting on the floor next to his TV...

    So does the sub still function then? It's just not recognized as a sub due to no rca connector?

    Budget Receiver and Speakers

    I have only seen pics of what my friend sent me but it looked like in and out and he said there were red and black inputs and outputs.

    Budget Receiver and Speakers

    I thought passives just had the speaker wire run through them then out to the other speakers...?

    Budget Receiver and Speakers

    Thanks for the reply! It's a passive sub, as it has no RCA input or power cable of its own. There any promo codes floating around for A4L? Just wondering before he orders.

    Budget Receiver and Speakers

    My friend has recently purchased a few speakers along with a sub and needs a receiver to go with them. The speakers he got were very cheap, they are RAC Sp9950 bookshelf speakers and an RCA sp9950 sub. I can't find like any info on these things, but he says they were only like $20 for all of...
