    Jitter/blurr on LG 65UF8500 4K UHD

    Yea we tried turning that off early on and did not help.. In some cases depending on what we were watching, the jitter got worse. Now we're in the Tru motion "user" settings trying find a sweet spot. So far we were able to reduce it somewhat. We will continue again soon. Our goal is to get it so...

    Jitter/blurr on LG 65UF8500 4K UHD

    Hi, I recently got the subject TV. We are very happy with it but have one issue we cannot seem to completely resolve. When watching a program and when the camera is stationary and a person walks from left to right or vice versa, the body is very jerky.. kinda like catching trails...

    Have you bought a 4K set yet? Do you see yourself getting one in 2017?

    My wife and I had no intention of even looking at a 4K UHD tv. I was waiting for the OLED 4k tvs to come down in price and just get one of those.. By then there would likely be alot more 4K content to view. We have had a Sharp 70" LED 1080P tv for a little over 2.5 years. About a month ago we...

    65 in mitsubishi tv

    I know this post has some age to it but incase this has not been resolved.. Sounds like you have a DLP projection TV. I had the 70" Mitsubishi and I am pretty sure that light means your lamp need replacement. I had my DLP for about 9 years and lamp never failed.. It did however get dim so...

    Recommendations for AVR and Bookshelf Speakers?

    I know you have seen some great suggestions.. Might I make one.. I have a Yamaha RX-V477 5.1 receiver and two Energy CB-2 bookshelf speakers. Take a look at the specs and see what you think. Definitely under $1000 and they sound fantastic. I listen to mostly Heavy Metal/ hard rock and the wife...

    Need help in choosing A/V Receiver & Speakers

    I agree with this.. I bought a Condo shortly after retiring from the Navy and could not wait to hook up my Bose AM5 Acoustamass. I listened to it for about 15 mins and packed it up and stored it away. Even at the low volume levels the Bass was way too loud for the people on the other side of...

    Yamaha RX-V477 and sub question

    Hello, Not sure if you got this straight yet but I have a 477 with a Klipsch SW-350 Powered sub. I have my sub set to auto and it works flawlessly. I honestly do not know what HDMI or optical audio has to do with the sub though but I am willing to learn :-) I have the Sub cable (looks...

    Best movie (IMO) to test out your Sub!

    Not sure if this is the right forum for this and if so I apologize. I have seen many many action type movies in an attempt to make the sub work as hard as possible. The Movie that does this best is by far Battleship. All I can say is to try it out. I watch it atleast once a week when the wife...

    Subwoofer fuse question

    So based on this info, the best solution (I think) is a surge protection system as you described earlier with the earth ground correct? I will have to check out pricing for a ranch style house. Again thanks for the fantastic info.. learned alot with this thread..

    Subwoofer fuse question

    I was wondering why if the fuse blew, why did the Sub fry. Well that explains it. Always thought the purpose of a fuse was to open when a surge was received by it to prevent damage as well as fires. Awesome info and appreciate the extensive explaination of all this.

    Subwoofer fuse question

    Yes we lost power when someone hit a telephone pole during a storm. I forget the model number but I am pretty sure it was a rocketfish with multiple outlets, bought at best buy. There have been times when we lost power and for a few seconds we hear the tv clicking like the power comes back and...

    Subwoofer fuse question

    We had a surge suppressor but that was the first thing that fried. We heard 2 pops during the power surge.. the first one was very loud. The second about 3 seconds later was not as loud. I believe the first one was the surge suppressor and the second pop was the sub fuse. Because of that, i do...

    Subwoofer fuse question

    Appreciate all the replies.. Great info.. Just to clarify, if the 125v fuse blows the second power is applied to the sub, it is definately because the fuse is at a lower rated voltage than the one that originally came out of it. I am concerned that when I put the correct fuse in, it will blow...

    Subwoofer fuse question

    Hi, The fuse in my Sub blew during a power surge. It is a 3.15AL250v but my wife went to pick up replacement fuses and the ones she got say 125v. Everything else is the same as the one that came out of the sub. When she powers up the sub the fuze immediately blows. The surge supressor...

    No Sound to Receiver from Smart TV

    This may be a stupid statement but what the heck.. With my setup I set HDMI3 on my receiver. I named that as "Streaming" so when I want to use my TV/Netflix-VuDu etc I set the reciever to HDMI3 and I get sound. The TV is already showing the video for netflix and once I select HDMI3 on the rcvr...

    AirPlay interruptions

    One thought for now until Yamaha gets back with you.. try shutting down Itunes on the Mac and the iphone. See if the interruptions persist or stop.. Atleast that will or will not narrow it down to those two devices.. If you make progress there, run itunes on one device at a time to see if it is...

    AirPlay interruptions

    Is it possible your Mac or iphone is sending Airplay a handshake of some sort..maybe you received something on your Mac or iphone from apple via itunes and it is causing that menu to pop up occasionally. I have only had one issue with Airplay where during a song, I would get random 3-5 second...

    AirPlay interruptions

    Not sure what could be causing that except maybe some kind of a notification.. Not even sure if Airplay has a notification option. I only use Airplay when I am actually listening to music from my PC via itunes.. Otherwise the program is closed so I never see what you are seeing. Maybe a...
