John: I ended up doing some manual level settings, since the Audyssey's volume settings on the sub and that "defective" left surround were much too high. Brought the +vol on the left surround to +8 so, there's still a little headroom there. So now, i'll do some critical listening and see how...

Yes, but why would I want to do that? Also, any manual adjustments made following the Audyssey setup, as I understand it, cancels all the Audyssey settings, like EQ and crossover adjustments.

John: I did a factory reset and then re-ran the Audyssey set-up, twice, with the program trying to compensate for the low channel, first with a setting of +9.5 db and then +11.0 db which maxes out that channel, while all the other speaker settings registered in the negative-db column...

John: thanks for your reply, but I'm sure it's not the speaker, since it plays both loud and soft, based on the test tones; however, I did un-plug and re-plug the speaker cable both at the speaker and at the receiver. Can't really replace the cable, since it's inside the wall, but again, since...

Thanks, but unfortunately that link doesn't tell me what the upgrade is. Also, this new firmware which I downloaded to my receiver last night must be more recent than the one the website shows for last March. I got that one too and was also never told what that one did either. I guess the...

Hello. I own a Marantz SR7007 home theatre receiver and last night when I turned it on to watch a movie, it gave me a notification of a firmware upgrade, which I downloaded and installed, without knowing what the upgrade was. I thought it was a little unusual that I would receive a firmware...

The original movie theatre release in 1978 was only in Dolby Surround, and BTW, my Blu of this legendary film looks great on my 1080P Pioneer plasma. Also, this was Geoffrey Unsworth's last film and there is a dedication to him in the credits.

Hey guys, I just discovered this thread, so thought I would tell you that my Plasma is a Pioneer KRP 600M sixty inch monitor, which I purchased new in August 2009 and she's still going strong with no problems so far. I've had it calibrated twice by an ISF tech and the pic still looks great...

Even a decent anamorphic release on DVD would be better than nothing, if they went back to the original 3-panel composite which was used for the LD release and did some improvements on that. Now that wouldn't cost an arm and a leg, would it? And, while I'm at it, just look at all the crap...

Does he travel? And, sounds like he might be expensive with all those credentials. Any other suggestions?

INCORRECT! Please read post #141. This film was anything but a flop! It sold out every performance at the Uptown Cinerama for weeks, as I know it did at the other Cinerama venues as well. Also, it seems to me that many posting in this thread with their negative opinions as to what...

Hello. Can anyone recommend a good traveling ISF display calibrator. My Pioneer Plasma TV needs a going-over once again. Also, has anyone on this forum ever heard of "D-Nice" a well-respected calibrator? He used to post a lot on AVS forum

Lots of speculation here about what may be, but I'm not ready to give up just yet!

I am getting ready to experiment with the masking (black fleece) being put up over my screen to cover up the subtitles. I plan on pausing a scene from my Grimm Brothers LD and then measuring down from the bottom of the picture to an "unknown" point below the picture, since I don't know how...

I wonder where one might obtain the Japanese LD version?

Is there any advantage of doing one over the other? Also, one tech I spoke with suggested I do a reset on the receiver and then re-run Audyssey, but I'm not sure I want to go thru all that again. If you have ever set up one of these receivers, it's not exactly a "walk in the park." My question...

Hello all. Does anyone know of or could recommend a calibrator who could do my plasma (Pioneer KRP0600M) display in Wichita, Kansas. I have had this done twice already by an ISF calibrator but it has been five years since anything has been done and I wasn't happy with the previous job. thanks!

Mr. Strohmaier, is there any chance you will restore"Wonderful World of the Brothers Grimm?" That would indeed be the grand finale of your wonderful work for Cinerama!

Long-time Oppo owner and fan. I have just sold my 4-year-old 103 and am on order for a new 203. I take Oppo at its word that they will support their products indefinitely. Perhaps with the 203 and the 205, they feel they have gone as far as they can go with a universal disc player. Also...

Thanks for the tip and there are a lot of players on Ebay, but as you say, it's a crap shoot. I'm looking though.

OK, thanks! Maybe I'll get in touch.

Hello. Does anyone know of a facility which can still repair Pioneer Laserdisc players? My DVL-700 is starting to have some playback issues like momentarily dropping out video and audio and not wanting to change sides. I used to use Bayview Electronics in Washington state but I think they...

Hello. I own a Pioneer plasma monitor (KRP600M) which I purchased new in 2009 and has been functioning perfectly ever since. Also, I have twice had it professionally calibrated by an ISF-certified technician. Also, twice (the latest being in 2014) I have been able to obtain the operating...

For now, I'm keeping my 60" Pioneer plasma (KRP-600M). I purchased this new in 2009 for $3299 and it still looks great (I have had it ISF calibrated twice). Some of the 4K displays in the stores look great, but it's hard to judge since they always pump up brightness and contrast so that the...

I already have a 7.1 channel set-up in my LR with my Marantz SR7007 receiver, Boston speakers all around, Velodyne sub and Pioneer KRP-600M display; so I would need to install a pair of ceiling speakers, perhaps midway back in the room and that would do it for me. All my wiring is either inside...
