Just bought a Denon AVR-X1500H to replace my blown Onkyo. I need to know which modes give the best experience. I have a standard 7.1 speaker setup in a dedicated home theater. My sources are DVDs, Blu-ray DVDs, CDs, TV and some AC-3 content. I'm particularly interested in the new (for me)...

I have a build thread on here, thought this place would be better for speaker placement specifics. First the room and system. The room is 30’x11’x8’6”(LxWxH) with only one door and no windows. Audio is Onkyo 9400 THX (7.1 THX cert), Video Epson 8500UB. Will be projecting a 98” screen which...

Greetings to all. I've been a long time follower of Home Theater Shack, but this is my first post. I am pretty happy with my current system (OPPO BDP83, Parasound Halo P7, Rane & DCX2496 active crossovers, diy speakers) but am always looking to play with it. Are there any dvd players that...

Hi All, I'm new to this forum and new to Home theater setups. I have a Yamaha Amp capable of 7.1, I have set up my speakers 7.1 surround sound, done by a plug in mic to measure sounds and distance of the speakers. My question is, I have my surround speakers 2 feet above ear level, should my...

I recently setup my AVR for 7.1 and get DTS es discrete and DTS HD MA 7.1 perfectly however when running anything in Dolby EX 5.1 and Matrix on with AFDM off I don't have Left and Right surrounds but over powering back speakers. It was my understanding that AFDM off and Matrix would apply the...

Lets see what your choice would be for a killer 7.1 system towers up front. Budget is 5k

Hello, what would cause audio signal from HTPC (over HDMI) be identified as MULTI CH IN 7.1 even for stereo or mono material ? It happens whenever I play music in any of the players I have (foobar2000,wmp, winamp). is this an indication that ASIO4all is not set up properly and that kmixer is...

Hi everyone! We're revamping our den's system and would appreciate some advice. Currently we have a Sony 5.1 and we'd like to upgrade to a 7.1. We're not very satisfied with the sound either, so we're looking at other brands. Our front speakers floor standing, but inside a tall cabinet, then...

Hi. I am considering buying an early generation PS3 (backwards compatible and plays SACD) BUT there seems to be some confusion as to if it will output 7.1 (DTS-MA/Dolby Digital-HD) audio. I have a pre pro that will decode these formats, and I currently have them on my Panny Blu Ray. If the...

I have a 5.1 setup using the Mirage Prestige system mounted upside down at the ceiling in all four corners. My dad just gave me a pair of the in ceiling speakers. Im not sure where I should mount these? My couch is 4 feet from my back wall. Should I mount these in ceiling speakers to the sides...

This has probably been asked, but I having trouble finding the answer. I'm planning on moving some things around and add 2 rear surrounds, to make my system a 7.1 system. I've discovered some confusing info on placing rears. First question is, How high should I place the rear surrounds? It...

My biggest requirement are pre-outs. I have been leaning towards the Pioneer VSX-53, but there are so many options there. And I am a bit brand loyal as Pioneer is the only brand I have ever owned and been pretty happy. The L/C/R will all have stand alone amps, and any basic receiver that puts...

Hi all, When using 7.1 and 9.1 surround, are the effect channels full range? I am considering using the extra channels on my reciever but I don't have room to fit the same size speakers as the ones used for my 5 channel system. Thanks, John
