  1. General Service and Technical Information

  5. System Setup and Connection
    I just ran a new Audyssey calibration on my Denon 4520 and did some tests using the REW and the Umik1. In the past I've used an analog connection between the pc and AVR so I've only tested the L & R main channels. Now I'm using HDMI so I also ran the other channels too, I've attached a...

  11. DIY Screens
    Ok, I have determined that I like a Dead Flat screen. My BW screen has an ever so slight sheen to it, and I am getting a hot spot. Outside of the HS, I love the picture. Actually, it's only noticeable during a bright, solid scene....but still, it's there. I am sitting close(7ish feet away from...
  12. SPL Meters | Mic's | Calibration | Sound Cards
    Is it true when using Radio shack SPL meter if you set volume to 75db it is actually 78db? So should I just set it to 72db instead. Or set the trim to -3db in the receiver settings? What about when using a calibrated mic and REW, is the db displayed in the software accurate?
  13. DIY Screens
    I know, I know,: heresy. :D Seriously though, is it possible there is a place for a screen with some hot spotting? Please don’t flame me; I’m really just trying to figure a few things out before I go with my next screen. Hopefully I can tap into greater knowledge and expertise than I have...

    Hi, I recently bought a Gizmo / WAF-1 package. I have the Gizmo hooked up to a few sources but I noticed a bit of muddy distortion when I play some CDs through a Pioneer DV-563A. I'm thinking perhaps the Pioneer's output is too hot for the Gizmo. I have the 563A connected to the Gizmo...
