Anything from a reputable brand like Yamaha, Denon, Pioneer or Onkyo will be fine Regards, Wayne

I’d have to say it was my wife who got me into home theater, strange as that sounds. I was a hi-buff from my high school days in the mid-1970s, and as soon as I started working, I put together a modest system. I enjoyed putting on some music every day after I got home from work. Then I got...

I don’t know anything about ASIO – I’m still using and old-school soundcard and phantom-powered mic. Maybe the soundbar can’t process it? Might try using REW without it, if that’s an option. Regards, Wayne

The manual shows the soundbar has HDMI inputs, so it should work, assuming that’s what you were using on your AVR. chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/https://downloadcenter.samsung.com/content/UM/202402/20240215063856001/AH81-13332K-02_FM_HW-Q950T_XU_ENG_240213.0.pdf Regards...

I tried a few extractors a few years ago, one being a professional-grade unit from Crestrom. Apparently they will only deliver 5.1 via the optical output. Give that a try if you haven't already. Regards, Wayne

Thread moved. Hopefully John has some insite. Regards, Wayne

Welcome to the Forum! I know this stuff can be intimidating. First, set up the crossover between the mains and sub, time-align the speakers to the sub, then do the EQ and fine-tuning. Regards, Wayne

AFAIK that can’t be changed. It’s auto-generated based on the SPL level of your graph. To test it, take subsequent measurements at an increased or decreased volume. Regards, Wayne

Look for the “Limits” icon above the graph, top right. “SPL Bottom” will set the graph floor. Regards, Wayne

No need for phone pictures. The camera icon at the top left of the graph will save it as a jpeg. For starters, your bottom horizontal limit is too low. Few rooms have a noise floor as low at 30 dB, and that’s the reason the blue “never stops.” I.e. it never stops because the room background...

Yeah, the VCR (JVC top-of-the-line Super VHS model) wasn’t getting much use, due to the Tivo (top left). I think it’s only use by that time was to play Disney movies for our grand-daughter. This stack was actually downsized from what we had in ’96. Here we have two JVC Super VHS machines and...

Yes, we probably met at HTF. I joined in August, 1999 and still post there some. Back then I was able to garner some attention because I could look at people’s subwoofer graphs (generated via Ken’s excellent Excel spreadsheet) and suggest filters on the BFD to improve response. Of course, a...

Yes, I remember that feature, and it was one of my favorite parts of the magazine. I even made a submission myself in March, 1997. I had a pretty impressive system at the time with 19 components (picture below), complete with custom cabling and dedicated isolated ground electrical circuits...

How did they come to contact you? Regards, Wayne
