Fascinating the variations between manufacturers and between screen technology. Obviously manufacturer's firmware has a lot to do with it. Great to see Pana matching it with the best at their first endeavor back into television - especially OLED. They currently have no televisions available in...

Assuming you or Robert are going to post a detailed report here when you have the time, it would be interesting to know :- 1. What each set looked like out of the box, and how much tuning was needed. 2. The tuning procedure used. e.g. did you tune for Standard Definition, then for High...

Panasonic - just like the phoenix. I wonder if their going to market at a discount the first year, to get their foot in the door against the giants.

Have fun Todd. Sounds like a lot of fun.:T I hope Samsung continue to develop and improve their QD technology.

My original post that I deleted had incorrectly assumed that if the sound engineer mixing and engineering the various channels had decided not to put anything in the .1 channel above say 80Hz, then nothing above 80Hz from all the other channels could be produced by the sub, regardless of the...

Can I throw in another idea? Is there any possibility you could set up the layout 90deg to what you have? I assume that is a fireplace at one end of the room, but if it's not being used, could that be where the screen is located? This would change the whole dynamic of the setup, including...

After doing a lot of researching (and reading between the lines) the son-in-law has discovered that, although the A660 is part of the Aventage series where access to the PEQ settings is possible, the A660 is the bottom of the line, and one of the Aventage features it doesn't have, is access to...

That's perfect. I think that's exactly what my son-in-law is looking for. I've forwarded it to him. Thanks :T 🍷

I believe the A660 has the current firmware. When I saw that the PEQ was greyed out, the owner (my son-in-law) had already run YPAO. However, I know he was doing a lot of fiddling, trying understand this new technology (;)), and he may have reset all settings to default, which may have deleted...

It was actually my son-in-law who bought the Yamaha, 2nd hand. He has very little experience with home theatre systems, and I've been helping him out. My system, which I sold when we moved house, always had receivers with Audyssey, which I loved. But I still did a fair bit of tweaking using an...

In the early '60s (I was probably around 14) I sat in someone's bedroom and listened to a stereo for the first time. It was a good system for it's time, and the LP was Harry Belafonte in concert. I was totally blown away. From then on my dream was to have a decent stereo system. Once I got my...

Normally you only have easy access to the GEQ adjustments, which are crude are have a very low Q on each slider (very broad effect), which makes it virtually useless. Running YPAO (another nearly useless Yamaha tool), alters the EQ using a PEQ, and creates a PEQ file. I have see posts that...

Thanks Wayne and WUS. I'll pass on the manufacturer suggestions. The partner is doing lots of research to help him understand the gear he has in front of him, and to help searching all the 2nd hand outlets. I sent him this link https://vasiltech.narod.ru/CD-Player-DAC-Transport.htm to help him...
