roaddog359 Posted May 16, 2012 Author Share Posted May 16, 2012 I don't think it passes audio along with the video signal over HDMI. I don't know if any TVs can do it, but you can use the digital coax/optical out or just use component outs on the source to a separate input on your TV, or if your source has 2 hdmi outs, that would work better. My onkyo would do that. If it was off you could still watch and listen to the tv as long as the input was last on tv when the receiver was turned off. It would send the audio and video via hdmi bypassing the receiver, so the directv hdmi to receiver input to receiver output via hdmi to samsung tv hdmi in. The receiver was always in a standby mode so it would bypass and go through the receiver without being on and playing through the stereo speakers.

roaddog359 Posted May 16, 2012 Author Share Posted May 16, 2012 I was setting up the emo Q and I noticed some speakers said reverse and at least one said Ok. What was that? Is something wired wrong or what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted May 16, 2012 Moderators Share Posted May 16, 2012 Sounds like it's thinking there out of phase, wired wrong, check wires or rerun it I guess ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roaddog359 Posted May 16, 2012 Author Share Posted May 16, 2012 What is slope? I will have to rerun the setup again tomorrow after work. slope is all at 12. I know nothing about that or what it does or should be set at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is something wired wrong or what? Watch these Emotiva Videos. Lonnie explains that your speakers can be "Out of Phase" even when the wiring is hooked up correctly.

roaddog359 Posted May 16, 2012 Author Share Posted May 16, 2012 Yeah mine are except one but if I switch the wires it tests ok, should I leave them alone ( wired correctly) Or switch them so the emo Q sees them as ok? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted May 17, 2012 Moderators Share Posted May 17, 2012 I don't know the answer ? I did watch the video and now understand what Youthman was saying, what I don't get is a few inches with certain frequencies can change it completely. I think I'm getting a headache.

Moderators Youthman Posted May 17, 2012 Moderators Share Posted May 17, 2012 from what ive read, you actually want to use acoustic panels to chane your sound rather than boosting and cutting frequencies. sounds logical to me but i have no idea in that dept. thats a whole other headache. haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdmundGTP Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Was just doing some hunting onlin for AVR's and came across this. http://desktop.toolshomes.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2532&offer_id=B003R7KMRY There are several other similar web sites supposedly selling this AVR for what seems to be a ridiculously low price. Is this real life? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derrickdj1 Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Use Pay Pal if you buy the Marantz avr. if something funny happens in the deal, you can dispute it and Pay Pal will not turn over the money to the seller. A little hassel, but you will not loose your money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roaddog359 Posted May 17, 2012 Author Share Posted May 17, 2012 Ok here is something funny, I have my audyssey mic from my onkyo so I plugged it in and the speakers test ok and so did the sub, what is up with that? Anyone looking for a svs pb ultra 13 in rosenut I may be selling mine to get one in cherry to match my speakers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdmundGTP Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 I'd guess it probably doesn't require a specific or very fancy mic simply to measure the SPL level of each speaker. A mic is a mic is a mic as far as this application is concerned, I believe. Could be wrong though.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmassey Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 I lost my mic for my old Pioneer AVR. I went to Radio Shack and bought a Karaoke mic. It seemed to work okay except for on the sub. If you buy a mic, make sure to read the frequency response on the box. You want something that can go at least as low as the lowest frequency response on your sub. You also probably want to be sure the highest frequency input on the mic is better than the highest frequency your speakers can go as well.

Huh?.. the seller already has the money.....I tell you what, you buy an item for me, I'll give you $100 over the cost as long as all goes well.Then you'll make $100 bucks for your trouble.Sound good? I'm sure other members would be glad to offer the same, you could make a bundle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I'm pretty sure I've narrowed down my AVR search to a Yamaha RX-A1010 when I get around to picking one up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nezff Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 not sure if this has been posted, but you might want to wait for the Onkyo 818. Looks to be around $1100 and will have mult eq XT32 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks to be around $1100 and will have mult eq XT32 Looks like a pretty nice unit. I'll have to pay attention to reviews on it once it starts landing in peoples' equipment racks. EDIT: Speaking of the Yamaha 1010, Vanns has a smokin deal on an "open box" 1010 for $650 bucks. If I was in a position to buy right now, it would already be sold, but for the time being I can pass the deal along. http://www.vanns.com/shop/servlet/item/details/538194241?i_c=CP-openbox-receiversampstuners Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roaddog359 Posted May 18, 2012 Author Share Posted May 18, 2012 Whats a good crossover point for my svs pb13 ultra to be set at on the emotiva? emoQ sets it at 250htz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this real life? This one's in Shanghai... It could be real, counterfeit or totally bogus.I ordered a micro usb cable for someplace in China, to replace a missing one on my wife's media player. Even with shipping it was only about $5 and arrived within a week. Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
