    DVE setup tips for LG DLP displays.

    First, thanks to jeffsg4mac for his article that he wrote up about using the DVE disc. It was a big help when it came time for me to calibrate my set a couple of months ago. With a LG DLP display, I felt that setting the sharpness and contrast levels before the black level, helped make the...

    Going off on someone for trying to help!

    If you are refering to this thread, there is absolutely no simularity between your answer and mine. He wanted to switch devices through his receiver, he told you this and then you ignore what he wanted to do. My response would have allowed him to do what he wanted. BTW he private messaged me...

    dsl line works but not phone line...

    Do you have the dsl filter on your phone connection? If not this might be causing the problem. My DSL connection requires one for each of my phones.

    Going off on someone for trying to help!

    zumbo, I've seen you post some very accurate, very helpful info and was glad for it, and other times I've seen you post info that makes me wonder if your nick shouldn't start with a d rather than a z. I don't know that I'm one of those people that you refer to as "slamming your advice", and...

    Law of Diminishing Returns, is it applicable?

    I agree with many of your points av_phile. I do believe in large part the law applies in various ways depending on an individuals preferences. I do think we can generalize though for the sake of discussion, when we talk about a group of people simply looking for perfomance to price, that they...

    Set-top-box to receiver qs

    RF Modulator Wrong, it's a RF modulater, not a demodulater which is something entirely different for AC-3 audio.. and a RF modulater converts a composite video and audio signal to an RF signal, NOT the other way around. So not only was your advice bad, it was inaccurate as well. This will not...

    What makes a good recording?

    my thoughts Yes, but doesn't it bother you to know that there are say 85 recordings of a particular performance and say 6 of them are outstanding and you just want to buy one over another becuse it's newer. I don't get why you would give so little regard to the perfomance simply because the...

    Receiver as preamp. Hook-up???

    If I understand you correctly, in the first part of your question you just want to know if the amp plays louder at the same volume before and after adding an amp. I'm not 100% certain but I believe if you buy an amp whose per channel wattage is greater than that of your per channel wattage...

    Do You Have Acoustic Treatments In Your Room

    I think this bears repeating....A LOT of repeating to help it sink in, especially for beginners.

    Most Overrated DVD?

    The acting, pacing, a dialogue in Starship Poopers was so awful I could do nothing but grimmace throughout the film. I'm not saying the Fifth Element deserved any oscars, but good lord it was better than ST by a long shot, Think of that great scene in the taxi where he drives through the...

    You want to flex your HT? Halo 2 for Xbox...

    I would agree that it is immersive, but no more so than a well made DVD. There are parts of the game where the center channel cuts out, and I was a little disappointed that it is only 480p, I was hoping for a little more from such a premiere game. but it's still great fun to play.

    Need Info On Receivers

    Since your receiver does not have component video inputs, you cannot use the component outputs (if any) from your dvd player or HD cable box. If you have a HDTV, hook the component video outouts of each device directly to the tv, and hook the digital audio from each to the receiver. Use the...

    no audio when DTS is set on DVD

    Zumbo if his DOLBY 5.1 is working then yanking the analog cords isn't going to help him because the 2400 obviously isn't defaulting to the analog jacks when he's using DD. In my Pioneer's DVD player you have to turn not only 5.1 out, and bitstream, but also you have to tell it that you have a...

    Need Assiatnce to play DVD-A

    Hawkeye maybe his confusion is because the connection he is making is analog, which for most DVD-A and SACD players is the only choice. Though, we both know the the material itself is digital. Just a guess.
