Title: Re: My Bedroom upgrade
Post by: audiojunkie on Sep 10, 2007 at 03:39 PM: You got very cooollll set-up bro! :o 8) your choices of gears also... it just need a little fixing of your place and the loose connections (better fix this first, this may lead to distortion or damage)...

Welcome... to PDvd.. ;D
Title: Re: My Bedroom upgrade
Post by: kt on Sep 10, 2007 at 03:54 PM: wow nice setup bro! can u share your picture settings sa CATV and HDMI using AVIA? tnx!
Title: Re: My Bedroom upgrade
Post by: Trig on Sep 10, 2007 at 04:06 PM: Yeah. internal yung nagloloose eh. Kasi kahit nde ko ginagalaw minsan may lumalabas na sounds sa sub. Wala akong mapaglagyan ng amp dahil yung printer ginagamit ng kapatid ko kaya sa sahig muna sya.

Kapag natuloy ako mag-us sa nov sana sale yung onkyo 7.1 hehe 430$ ata ngayon. Yung 5.1 nya olats yung review, mahina daw subs

Question lang, oks lang ba na malapit sa aircon yung amp?

@kt

Currently, naka standard settings lang ako + 0 sharpness. Hindi ko pa nagamit yung Avia, once natapos na yung 100hrs ipopost ko yung settings ko sa 42pv70 thread

Salamat sa mga nagreply

Question lang, oks lang ba na malapit sa aircon yung amp?

Kahit malapit basta hindi directly tinatamaan ng malamig hangin. Kasi amp needs to heat also while it's on. Maximized ang power nito pagmainit na. If you will notice habang umiinit lalaong lumalakas ang at pumipino ang tunog. .... :o If you can place it somwhere mas maganda... ;D
Title: Re: My Bedroom upgrade
Post by: Trig on Sep 12, 2007 at 01:47 PM: Ililipat ko din yung amp soon after nya marepair at after malipat yung printer sa ibang room.

@kt
regarding dun sa converter, yun yung gamit ko sa old TV, hangang ch 30 lng kasi yun haha ganun na sya katanda. Hindi rin sya flat. Sa weekend itatry ko na idirect sa tv para macompare kung masOk yng PQ

Next na target ko yung Onkyo htib na 7.1. Sana matuloy ako sa nov at machempo na may sale hehe 8)

Post by: kt on Sep 12, 2007 at 02:33 PM: bro cge update us sa comparisons mo!

Sir Jeff hindi pa ako nakauwi lately. Balang araw ipopost ko rin yun dito hehe

Regarding sa cable tv converter vs direct, mas ok yung direct. Either pareho lng yng PQ or masOk pa ata yng direct. Plus hassle yung may extra remote
Title: Re: My Bedroom upgrade
Post by: Trig on Sep 15, 2007 at 06:22 PM: mga pdvd experts, tanong ko lang po kung worth it ba magupgrade ng speakers w/o changing my subs and amp. Cguro mga 15-20k budget.

Magkakaron ba ng significat diff?
Title: Re: My Bedroom upgrade
Post by: audiojunkie on Sep 15, 2007 at 06:47 PM: You can do that, but keep in mind that later you will upgrade your amp. So, get the speakers that later will match to the amp in your wish list. For now, there's no significant difference with the existing power. Preamp/processor is the big factor in HT set-up, it's the brain, heart and soul of your system... ;D :o
Title: Re: My Bedroom upgrade
Post by: Trig on Sep 16, 2007 at 10:25 AM: hmm masyado ata syang komplikado para sakin hehe magastos pa. Onkyo 7.1 nlng siguro lagay ko sa wishlist ko.

malaki ba diff ng prices sa US at dito pagdating sa htib?
Title: Re: My Bedroom upgrade
Post by: Trig on Oct 06, 2007 at 11:12 PM: Help naman po sa mga pdvd experts. Plano ko bumili ng wharf 9 dfs. Ang problema ko ngayon is san sya ilalagay. Eto po likod ng room ko.

(http://bp2.blogger.com/_LbOFTRSryZ8/RwehKLONPdI/AAAAAAAAADc/IFUP436EQ_o/s400/10062007126.jpg)

Yung wharf 9cs nde ko rin sure kung kasya sa harap ng tv, baka humarang sa sa tv huhu

Samahan ko narin ng survey hehe, ano po mas ok na sub, Velo CHT-10r or Klipsch RW-10. It will be used mostly for movies and gaming and around 20% music.
Title: Re: My Bedroom upgrade
Post by: jojitv on Oct 08, 2007 at 11:29 AM: Wow, laki ng TV. Sarap manuod dyan. :)

Why not try to wall mount the TV so you'll have space to position your the speakers. Kaso major rearrangement ng room mo yan. I can't comment on the Klipsch RE-10 since I haven't had the experience to hear them. But the Velo does sound very good in movies and does ok in music.

MHO, on that blank space above the light switch and space them equi-distance on the other side from your sitting area.. :o ;D
