as i understand it, yung 6 position ng mic is for audyssey multi-eq, pag three positions lang ang calibration it's audyssey 2 eq.

Yes. There are different versions of Audyssey. Some can do 3 positions, others 6, others 8, others 32. I guess that the Onkyo 606 has the version with only 3 mic positions.

so i guess 606's version of audyssey is not that good? hmm maybe i should just adjust my HT manually hehe

the best ang manual adjustment. basta may gamit and knowhow.

Hehe malamang ako trial and error hehe I'm not that experienced eh..

me too, thats why a lot of people praise the audyssey system, its the closest thing to getting a manually calibrated sound automatically. i have a 604. 2 eq din lang sa akin. the 1st time i set it up, the sound actually i did not like. but after asking around here, the thing to do after calibrating from audyssey is to set your speaker to small, then turn your sub's cross over to the max level and the receiver cross over setting to 80. and the sound now is very acceptable. try mo bago mag manual calibration.

That's what I thought. You need a tripod, otherwise sira ang calibration. Kung wala ka, kuha ka lang sa CD-R King. Yung mura lang, ok na.

Set the mic at the level of your ears when you watch. Do at least 6 positions, in a circle of around 2 feet radius around the main listening position. But don't position the mic near the wall. It should be absolutely quiet when you do the calibration.

If you dont have a 1080p native display yet, save up for it, the 875's video capability will really shine even brighter.

[hi-fi heroes]

any word on the successor of the 875 yet?

[leomar]

wala po bang 12-volt trigger ang 875 para sa "main zone"? dun sa manual ng 875 na binabasa ko, may isang 12v trigger pero para lang ata siya sa "zone 2"? tama po ba?

new ONKYO AVRs will carry the -6 suffix. As for the "successor" of the 875, it's the new SR876.

[mercury724]

question lang po, is it normal that i crank up the volume to around 40 to 45 before i could hear sounds coming from the speaker? kasi pag nasa 35 or below walang sound lumalabas sa speakers unless i turn it up to 40  and up! 

[darkwing]

yup ganun rin sa akin lols

[seymorebutts]

hi, newbie here, anyone knows how much ( price range ) yung onkyo 805?

salamat

OT, do you always have to turn on your airconditioner when you use the AVR? like when listening just to music. TIA

mukhang madaming mga gurus dito magbebenta ng kanilang 875 for this....

I am really curious about the "ISF video calibration." The description really doesn't say much. It could mean anything.

Is it an independent "Color Management System" for each input?

WOW Kaya pala branded sya as KING OF AVRs ng Home cinema choice

Video Calibration Comes To Integra AVRs, Pre-Pro
By Joseph Palenchar -- TWICE, 8/21/2008 7:26:00 AM
Upper Saddle River, N.J. — Integra is taking video-display calibration technology out of the high-definition display and putting it into two A/V receivers (AVRs) and a preamp processor.

The $1,900-suggested DTR-8.9 and $2,600 DTR-9.9 AVRs are the industry’s first with embedded Imaging Science Foundation Certified Calibration Controls (ISFccc) protocols. The products will also be the first, or among the first, AVRs with built-in video-calibration technology, depending on other introductions at the CEDIA Expo.

Integra’s $2,000 DHC-9.9 preamp-processor, also incorporating ISF calibration, is among a handful of pre-pros with video-calibration technology. Anthem has such pre-pros, but they don’t use ISF technology.

All three Integra models ship in September and will be displayed at the Expo.

The introductions make it possible, Integra said, to individually optimize video signals for each video source connected to an AVR or preamp-processor without resorting to complex cable routing and customized remote-control macros. Such “workarounds” make system operation more complex for consumers, Integra contended.

Using the Integra components, installers can use a video-switching AVR or preamp-processor to select video sources, optimize video settings for each video source, and direct the video signal over a single HDMI output to a TV or projector. In contrast, in home theaters that combine other AVRs and video-calibrating TVs, installers can’t individually calibrate video settings for each video source unless they run a video cable or cables from each source to the TV, then separately run audio cables from each video source to the AVR or pre-pro, Integra explained. Without the additional cables, the TV would apply the same calibration setting to all of the multiple sources being switched in the A/V receiver or pre-processor.

In the new Integra components, all coarse-grain and fine-grain calibration adjustments correspond to the ISFccc protocols, and access to the adjustments will be restricted to ISF-trained calibration technicians who perform calibration services to consumers for a fee. Most of Integra’s installer accounts have ISF-certified technicians on staff, said sales director Keith Haas.

Integra “made everything simple by putting the calibration controls in the receiver and providing separate calibration memory for each input,” said Joel Silver, president and founder of ISF, which provides video calibration training and services. “Now, ISF-trained technicians can achieve a perfect match for all the sources and also provide the end user will simple, intuitive control over sources and switching."

For consumers and installers, Integra added, “the simplest and most reliable way to connect different video sources – DVD player, HD player, satellite TV, cable TV, etc. – is by using an A/V receiver or preamplifier to select the desired source and direct the video signal over a single output to the TV or projector. “

Multiple display makers incorporate ISF calibration tools in at least some of their models, Integra said. Those companies include Pioneer Elite, LG, Runco, Vidikron and Epson. Other brands and models also offer detailed levels of color adjustment but do not feature ISF calibration, a spokesman added. Sometimes these controls are easy to access by the end user, but in other cases, the person calibrating the set must know a secret set of commands to get into the hidden menus, he said.

With the three new products, Integra is expanding its selection of components equipped with HD Radio to four from three. All three new models feature HD Radio, joining a carryover $550 TUN-3.7 component tuner with optional HD Radio/satellite-radio tuning card. Two other HD Radio-equipped components, the $2,400 DTR-8.8 AVR and $1,600 DTC-9.8 pre-pro, will be dropped when the three new models ship.
