    Do i set amp to LARGE front speakers or SMALL?

    OK great 80hz it is then. But another question here, why does my autosetup put all my speaker settings to very low levels. For example, it sets my fronts and center to negative 7, and the same for my subs and rear surrounds. -7 seems too low to me, but is that normal? My speakers are...

    Newbie here, speaker hookup question

    Hey, yeah the pins are exactly like those ones. I put them into the terminals just like bare wire. But this is the first time using pins, so it seemed a little bit akward tightening down the clamps. I wanted bannana pins too, but these one came pre assembled on my wire that i purchased.

    Newbie here, speaker hookup question

    My question is, for the speaker wire, it has pins on the ends, so do i just put the pins into the reciever end, and the speaker tower end, just like bare wire? Ive always just used bare wire in the past, so these pins are new to me and seem weird to put into the post and tighten down. BTW...

    Auto setup mode questions.

    Alright, so is it normal to see -7.0 for the fronts, -6.0 for the center, and -7.5 for the surrounds and sub?? It just seems a little bit too much on the negative side. but i do admit, my seating position is close to the front speakers(about 7 ft away)

    Auto setup mode questions.

    My amp has a Mic which you hook up to it and it will run a test on all the speakers, and then adjust gain/time delay and all that stuff. My question here is, why does it put all the gain on my speakers to -7.0, they are all in the high negative ball park, even my surrounds and sub is all set...

    Do you guys leave your receivers on 24/7?

    I used to leave my older amp on 24/7. I never really turned it off ever, and didnt have any problems. But i just bought a brand new amp, and dont want to take any chances. Do you guys leave your receivers running all night, or do you turn it off when not in use?

    Whats better PCM, or DD?

    I understand that PCM is used when you want the source to decode the signals, and Bitrate is when you want the receiver to decode. But my question is, what is better, to be able to use Dolby digital(in my case) or should i keep it on PCM? I also want to know, how can i get dolby True HD to...
