Thanks alvinh! The room size is 7mx3.20m, I have to remeasure the height.    ;D

Thanks den. I may end up with almost the same width as your room for my HT. :D
Learn the technology but also learn to trust your ears and eyes...and enjoy the journey.

Thanks gunblade977! 1st noticeable improvement is the tight low bass, now you can feel the subwoofer (the bass traps minimized the standing waves).  :)

DIY Acoustic panels using rigid fiberglass (703 spec)











Verdict: smoother bass, better front & surround imaging. :)

P.S. maybe will add more mid/hi frequency absorbers (ceiling & front screen area) & more bass traps at the back.  ;D

congrats sir! ang gaganda talaga ng HT room dito sa PDVD.

Here's my settings:
Cinema 1
contrast +5
bright -3
color 0
tint 0
color temp 0
sharpness -2
dynamic iris on
NR off

gamma H 0
gamma M 0
gamma L 0

contrast R -1
conrast G 0
contrast B +8

bright R +1
bright G 0
bright B -2

note: lamp 368hrs, lamp in low settings, OS 100" 0.8 gain.

These settings are primarily set for bluray using the PS3 with the bluray version of video essentials. I tried these setting watching SD dvds, may improvement din naman.  I hope these settings works for you too.  Good luck!  :)

I let the dv600 upscale kaya naka 720p settings ko & set to component using HDMI.  Pangit mag upscale yun AE900 kaya better to let the dv600 do the upscaling.  I have the dvd ng casino royale r3, I watch it before(without grayscale calibration, video essentials dvd lang & cinema 2).  Hindi naman redish, I really like the transfer ng casino royale r3 good color & contrast, almost like bluray na sa mga close up shots(of course sa mga wide angle shots dun mo makikita difference ng bluray). I'll check it out later(calibrated grayscale settings this time) & I'll let you know tomorrow.  :) 

*Naka full RGB settings ka ba kaya redish yun color hue mo? I tried full RGB before medyo hindi natural yun color kasi.

ok, good news.  :)
If you're going to use the calibrated grayscale settings above be sure to use cinema 1 kasi dun ako nag base sa grayscale calibration ko, then same settings lang sa dv600(all defaults settings, set to 720p, component).  Check ko mamaya yun scene na sinasabi mo.  ;D

Pa-OT bro den...


Playseats Amazon Link

Upak na brad!  Heto lang ang problema:

Product Details
    * Price:    $325.24 - $329.99
    * Product Dimensions: 24 x 20 x 16 inches ; 53.5 pounds
    * Shipping Weight: 53.5 pounds


Sa JAC, using the per lb flat rate + handling - that would roughly mean around $326 (para mong dinoble yung selling price nung unit!)  ;D

...Unless may superbait ka na kamag-anak na uuwin ngayong Pasko!  ;)
