Adam's Theater

But she probably does make a pretty decent bass trap.

That was brilliant! Cold...yes...but brilliant.

Maybe your next home theater upgrade should be a bed.

I ordered a memory foam topper to use on the floor. Oh, baby. I'm looking forward to a whole new world of comfort.

I'm thinking about updating the firmware on my Pioneer VSX-23. That's not officially supported by Pioneer, so if I brick it - it's on me. I've got to consider if it's worth the risk. I know that the new firmware will fix the mildly annoying issue of the remote not always being able to turn the receiver on, but I can live with that. I'm wondering if it will speed up the transition of HDMI sources - it takes a few seconds to sync up with my TV.

Deep down, I already know that I'm going to try it...

 

[Adam]

Update in progress...

 

[Adam]

Sweet - didn't brick it! I'm very happy that it remembered all of the calibration settings, too.

So...did it help with the issues you were having.

Well, it didn't change the HDMI switching delay. As for not being able to turn it on from the remote, that was a fairly rare event, so I'm not sure if I'll ever know.

Anti-climatic.

Anti-climatic.

True, true. But I'll take that over a bricked receiver any day.

Woed.

Just trying to help ...

Everyone, you can relax now. The word police have arrived.

It's more like the language medics ...

I've finally gotten streaming from my PC to my PS3 working really well. Probably the newer version of PS3 Media Server that's done it, as I don't think my network is any faster than before.

Either way, it's pretty sweet. I'm watching an episode of Supernatural that I recorded on my PC last night.

I posted this in a contest thread, but it seems fitting to put it here, too.

The evolution of my humble "theater." While some will call it plain, it doesn't mind. It's sexy...and it knows it.

Does that sub knock everything off the shelves when you play it

Nah, but I don't play stuff very loud anymore. When I first got it, though, before I had everything calibrated, I played Mr. and Mrs. Smith, and the bass in that movie actually shook me. It was awesome!
