Hey guys, thanks for the replies. I think I'm kind of getting it understood, finally. All the BDs I own are in 5.1. However, I rented 3:10 to Yuma and that's when my avr said it was playing 7.1, maybe that's why the shoot out scenes sounded so good. I can toggle between different surround...

Yeah, pretty jazzed too. I just watched 3:10 to Yuma and I have to say it's a great western too.

I'm trying to understand what is true 7.1 surround sound. None of the BDs I own say that they play 7.1 sound, only 5.1. Some say Master DTS, others say Dolby TrueHD. Are both of those still just 5.1? Is 7.1 something that my avr creates? Are there any BDs that are recorded in 7.1?

It's new, from Blue Jeans. I found this thread and it has helped quite a bit: http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=931796

I hope I'm not hi-jacking this thread, but I'm still confused about how to get the most out of my PS3 slim as well. I'm using a Marantz receiver so it is very similar to the OP's receiver. I have tried bitstream and when I play BDs I only get 5.1 whereas I'm wired for 7.1. If I select PCM, my...

I appreciate your response but my sub is anything but "barely accetable." I probably should have prefaced my original post by saying that I love the thing and the bass it provides. The reason why I asked is because it sounds so good and hits so hard already, I couldn't imagine that changing the...

What are your room dimensions? I went with an SVS sub. I love it! I emailed them with my room dimensions and told em what I wanted and we decided to go with the PB12-Plus for my 17x28 room, it's awesome. I highly recommend their stuff.

Does it make a difference which way my sub is facing the corner of my room? Should the woofer be firing into a wall or out into the room? FWIW, my sub is a SVS PB12-Plus. Thanks

I have the SVS PB12-Plus in a 17x28 room and it performs just like you describe. I love it... don't know if the neighbors do though ;)

I finally got my system completed. I'm using a Marantz SR5004 avr connections are HDMI from PS3 and HDMI from avr to TV. Which audio setting is best to use on the PS3, PCM or bitstream? I tried bitstream and it wouldn't play the rear two speakers, basically I was only getting 5.1. After I...

I just purchased the PB12-Plus from SVS. The thing is simply awesome. I don't know much at all about the numbers and all that jazz that people like to quote with subs. All I can say is that the bass sounds to me like I would want bass to sound. It hits when it's suppose to, and it fills the...

What are your room dimensions? I just finished my HT system yesterday with my SVS speakers and sub. It flat out rocks! I have heard a good number of systems and I would like to think I did this one right, trumps some of the "professionally installed" expensive systems my friends own. I am very...

Are you talking about calibrating your speakers? Some receivers have built in test tones for that.

Thanks for the help. So, I'm gonna try the Auto first. Like many people have mentioned, Audyssey will most likely try to say the speakers are large. SVS recommends setting them to small. Do I have the chance to do that step come beore it does the auto calibration? If not, and it calibrates the...

I hope this is the right forum to post this in. My SVS speakers are showing up tomorrow. The sub showed up today. With it I got a free Radio Shack SPL meter. My avr is a Marantz 5004. So, I can use the Audyssey auto calibration program or do it manually. Any recommendations? If I use the SPL...

Oops, I forgot to mention that the connection is via HDMI. Is there a difference between True HD and DTS HD? Is there a time when I would want one vs. the other? Thanks for the help.

I'm loving the new PS3! This is my first BD player. The VQ is amazing. This is also my first HT system, so I'm just getting stuff hooked up. Question that I have is this, once I connect it to my Marantz 5004 avr, what audio output setting should I set it for, i.e. automatic, one of the Dolby...

Just picked up a new PS3 slim. I tried to set up the wireless internet connection. My router is a Netgear model WGR614 v6. When I tell the PS3 to search for the router, it doesn't find anything. When my laptop searches for a wireless network, it finds about 4-5 routers (mine and the neighbors)...

Contest Questions: Do you currently own or have a need for powered speakers? If yes, where? In our home office. In your opinion can powered speakers sound as good as passive speakers paired with an amp or receiver? Yes. If you add wireless surround speakers to your home theater system, will...

I'm in the process of building a HT system. I have a Pioneer Elite plasma TV. I just purchased a Marantz SR5004 a/v receiver and a PS3. I have wired for 7.1 but I'm currently waiting for the UPS man to deliver my speakers and sub. So, I wanted to see what BDs at least looked like until the...
