    Dolby Restricting Use of 3rd Party Upmixers on Atmos Products

    Emotive just confirmed with me this only applies to encoded 2CH PCM, not standard Redbook stuff. Whew!

    RBH Sound Owner's Thread

    I've known Daren a long time and find it hard to believe he would put a customer through all of this. That said, I understand your frustration too. I don't understand why you just don't return the speakers for a refund and get something else? Cut your losses and move on as there are so many...

    Dolby Restricting Use of 3rd Party Upmixers on Atmos Products

    As far as I know, the latest FW updates on Sound United products have not restricted upmixing. I own an SR8012 and all of the upmixing options still work for various signals. Emotiva on the other hand is compliant with Dolby requirements which really sucks for them and their owners...

    RBH Sound Owner's Thread

    No problem. I'm sure you'll get this resolved with the folks at RBH and will be back on your path to audionirvana in no time. Good luck.

    RBH Sound Owner's Thread

    I just scanned the thread and notice you're having QC issues with your RBH speakers. You should definitely be working directly with either your dealer or RBH (whomever you bought them from) to replace them rather than repair them. Good luck to you as this is certainly not the norm for the brand...

    RBH Sound Owner's Thread

    Make sure your receiver has a separate LFE crossover setting otherwise it's possible you can truncate the LFE channel by setting the LPF on the mains below 80Hz. Depending on which Yamaha you have, there should be a separate setting.

    "Caravan"... What To Do?

    The Ferengi never committed mass genocide against their own people. They actually considered 21 century humans as savage ;)

    My depression I've been dealing with.

    Thank you Ryan. I briefly tried Latuda but it made my already bad sinusitis a lot worse so I stopped it after 3 days. It also gave me hot flashes. Keep on going man. Know that people care for you and you can make a difference.

    Geddes approach to Multi-Sub setup Instructional Video by Matthew Poes

    This is why for 90% of installs, it's best to run satellite speakers all around, multi-sub and 80Hz crossover. It really is the easiest thing to setup and understand for most consumers. Integrating tower speakers with subs is very tricky business.

    Geddes approach to Multi-Sub setup Instructional Video by Matthew Poes

    I've been petitioning Denon and Yamaha for years. No luck. If you want that, you will have to goto products from Storm Audio, DataSAT and Emotiva (they listen). Sucks but it took me years to get Yamaha to change their 90Hz crossover for bass management. Maybe some day....

    My depression I've been dealing with.

    Ryan; I too have been struggling with depression. It can at times be debilitating as I lose all motivation to work and sometimes even the affections of my family and kids feel like nothing. I can only advise you to seek help like I've been doing. Talk therapy works and possible meds may be...

    Geddes approach to Multi-Sub setup Instructional Video by Matthew Poes

    Double bass simply sends the main front speakers bass to the sub but the LFE does NOT get rerouted to the mains unless you turn the sub channel off. As far as I know, only custom processors like Datasat, Storm Audio and Emotiva give options to route LFE to the mains and to the subwoofer...

    Geddes approach to Multi-Sub setup Instructional Video by Matthew Poes

    Really, you're going you have listeners place their head in a prefixed cavity? LOL. I've seen Geddes take on multi-sub and agree with some aspects of it but I do find some of his logic not too palatable. I do agree with the benefits of true fullrange towers as bass sources in a multi-sub...

    Will Pioneer UDP-LX500 UHD Blu-ray Player Be the Oppo Alternative?

    With Oppo Digital going out of business, it was only a matter of time before another manufacturer would build an upscale UHD Blu-ray player to fill the void for players of this caliber. Does the new Pioneer UDP-LX500 4K UHD Universal Blu-ray player have what it takes to accomplish that...
