"I'm a Doctor, not a "fill in the blank"". One of my favs is I'm a Doctor, not a bricklayer, from the one where McCoy is treating a rock like creature by filling in wounds with cement and a trowel.

This is my favorite StarTrek TV show,

You really made a very nice deal on it. As good as Andrew is with his prices I don't believe even he could have beat what you paid. I like the OSD that it has plus it has a much better EQ set with it. Post up when you have some time playing around with it. Does it come with the setup mic? I should mention that 7850 was going for over $800 new.

Yes he got a good deal on it! On the plus side, we live 15 minutes apart from each other. That was nice

I really loved this show, hated the ending, worst in Star Trek History. T'Pol hottest Star Trek character followed closely by 7. Since I didn't watch Voyager, she lost a point. Top 3 favorite ST characters: 1. Tripp, 2. Spock, 3. Piccard

You hooked him up very nice. Plus I see you been a AH member since 2005. If by chance you run into a Carver TM-25 or 35 shoot me a inbox.

Yeah didn't like the way it ended, Trip and T'Pol, had a child plus with StarTrek Next Generation being in it which to me is the worst of all of the ST tv show's even back in the 80's when it came out I didn't like it from jump.

Original series still my favorite, since I watched it when it first came out (am I dating myself?). I have seen every episode of all the Star Trek series at least once (except the new ones on CBS pay, have seen the first two seasons of Discovery though, checked out at library.) And all the movies, at least once. I have every episode of all the series on my Tivos. Been so long I can probably watch as "new". Except maybe original series, that one remember most everything, at least after a bit of a reminder. Deep Space Nine, was a bit boring for me at first. But in later years a bit more action, not all political. I have the entire Next Gen series on VHS tapes. Anyone interested?

I do remember watching ST back in the 60's also in black and white. Lost in Space also, Netflix has all of the ST to stream which I have watched. The new Lost in Space with Molly Parker is good.

That's a nice one. Even has HDMI on the front. I was also looking at used Denon AVR-X1500H . Pretty cheap, nice receiver, no component input but does have composite which I do use a lot (older video game systems).

Now wait a minute, original series was all color. Lost in Space started black and white but changed to color later. Batman was on around the same time as original Trek. But so corny. Lot of great guest stars as villians though. And the most inspired, deep theme song of all time. Batman, Batman, BATMAN, nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah, BATMAN!!

We didn't have a color tv, wasn't till the 70's Dad got one.

Ooh, well then, I guess it did start B+W. Think we had a 25 or 27 inch big tube type Zenith console. When it got old had to power up about 1/2 hour in advance and smack it a few times.

I have the 930, which would be similar in specs, although no phono. It's been great so far.

 

[TomMage]

Nice one also, if don't need phono (which I don't), even a better deal!!

Does it come with the setup mic

It does. I tried it, very simple. Only strange thing, instructions say to set sub volume at half and turn up crossover to maximum. Which I did. But for manual I had set all my speakers to small even though they are large, because I have a good sub. When I ran the program it switched my speakers to large. I may switch the crossover back to what I had before on the sub and run the program again, see what happens.

Cool deal bro!. Yeah I did exactly like you did and it set my front 3 to large, which I left it like that my sub isn't a great sub good at best think bottom feeder sub very low low cheap sub paid 100 bucks new, yeah I know I cheaped out on a really good sub maybe one day I'll get a good SVS sub. But than I will get kicked out where I live.

Setting the gain at halfway on the sub is just a starting point, a guess as to what the gain on your particular sub is. I'd change the speakers to small and start with a crossover in the avr of 80 hz (leave the crossover/low pass filter on the sub maxed out). What was the sub level (trim) the auto program set?

I tried setting all speakers to small with 80 crossover (that is how I had them set when first did manually.) But the program just changes them back to large no matter what setting I start with and sub filter maxed or set to 80. Sub level when program run is -10db. Nice thing is though you can "save" what the program finds. And load anytime. So can use with manual settings (all speakers set to small and 80 hz and sub filter set to 80 hz) or can load what the program found which changes back to large. Just decide which sounds better I guess

All the avr is doing with setting to large is detecting an f3 response of 40 hz. Just change it back after the program runs to small and raise the crossover as necessary (generally you just don't want to lower crossover as that would be a gap in eq).
