sirs tulong naman

may settings ba kayo ng audio?

ung sakin kasi pag movies, ang hina ng speech volume pero normal ung background sound (music, sound effects etc) pero pag speech mahina. pag nilakasan ko naman ung volume for the speech to be audible, napalakas naman ng background so ang nangyayari manual mode ako ngayon, lagi ko hawak remote  Angry...

sir are you using a separate home theater or sa tv lang galing yung sound?

if your using separate HT adjust the volume level of each speaker... try to set the center to max... and adjust also the distance of the speaker relative to your wire used...

same sakin before. are you using 5.1 or speaker ng tv lng? sa home theater 5.1 auto setup na check ko negative ang center at positive surround. ganon yata pag your watching 5.1 kasi sa movie house d ba malakas tlga ang surround at tama lng ang center. d lng tau sanay sa house na ganon din kalakas. try watching sa rockwell and compare mo sa room mo naka 5.1 same vol. hehe

In preparation for the arrival of my BD player, please enlighten on the audio connections.  First, I connect the HDMI cable to the panny plasma.  This includes audio right?  Then I connect the audio cable to my yamaha for the 5.1 speakers.  When I play movies, do i mute the plasma or automatic sya na mag off once the audio cable is activated?  or does it play together with the HT for better sound?  please advise gurus.  Thanks.

Yamaha AVR ito or HTIB?  If its a yamaha AVR and can decode audio via hdmi, just connect your HDMI from the BD player to your AVR and connect another HDMI cable from the yamaha to your Plasma.

On the other hand, if your AVR does not decode audio via HDMI, you can still connect your HDMI cable to your AVR but you have to have another cable (optical or coaxial) connected to your AVR. 

If your AVR does not have HDMI, just connect your HDMI directly to your TV and connect an audio cable (optical or coaxial to your AVR).  In this scenario, you have to change the setting on your BD player to send only video and not audio.  Otherwise, yes you'll have to mute your TV so that you won't have to sound sources.  (TV and separate speakers)

how do you go about the 100 hours burn in process ?

meron ba link dyan

This is what I'm doing now.  I'm using optical cable.  Until a good deal comes around for a better HT with HDMI. Thanks bro

Same question po? Does it need to be done on brand new tv's may it be plasma, lcd, led?

It's in the manual. It just tells you to minimize viewing of material with static images (such as bright channel logos, or using it with a game console/pc), and to always stretch the image to fill the screen (if there are black bars on the screen) during this period.

[burnok123]

remember my 24 hour whitewash burn in procedure 
yeah bro 30 minutes paused
but after that long pause, i did finish the movie (must be the reason why i dont see it after)
panasonic said it's burn proof anyway (naniwala lang ako sa sinabi nila)

================

sir kailangan ba talagang gawin ito? kasi im buying a grey unit from a seller here...mahirap kasi ipa warranty ang 42" na plasma.(C10 @ 29k).

thanks

[jonm]

para sa akin di mo na kailangan gawin, pero sabi nga nila precaution lang.  wala naman mawawala.  besides it's just 100 hours.  kung mainipin ka, 24 hours white wash lang  (faster burning kasi white tapos balance pa sa buong screen)

in my experience, after several months of watching i have completely forgotten about the "burn marks".  nung una medyo OC ako and true enough, upon close scrutiny you can see some marks, in my case, the BTV logo, the home settings menu of my BD player, etc.  but after a while you simply ignore it.  I don't even notice them anymore.  And my viewing pleasure has been increased kasi nga di ko na pinoproblema ito.  I just sit back and enjoy the movie

Very good advise!

Just remember folks use and don't abuse your plasma just like any other electronic device

How do you do the white wash? Thanks!

[qualitycontrol]

alam ko kay sir ninjababez galing tong link: http://www.dataproductservices.com/dpt
just download, hook up your tv to the pc/laptop and run the program using solid white at the background, then leave it running.

[babed95]

basta hindi naman apektado pag nanonood ka eh ok yun pag madami kang nakikita mas hindi mo ma eenjoy yun panonood mo ksi laging mo na lng iisipin yun.

sirs tulong naman

may settings ba kayo ng audio?

ung sakin kasi pag movies, ang hina ng speech volume pero normal ung background sound (music, sound effects etc) pero pag speech mahina. pag nilakasan ko naman ung volume for the speech to be audible, napalakas naman ng background so ang nangyayari manual mode ako ngayon, lagi ko hawak remote 

you need a receiver that can do dynamic volume.  no workaround bro, sorry 

[barrister]

ung sakin kasi pag movies, ang hina ng speech volume pero normal ung background sound (music, sound effects etc) pero pag speech mahina.

Hindi normal ang volume ng music and effects niyan sir, mahina yan.  Pag mahina ang volume ng dialog, mahina ang volume ng buong sountrack.

pag nilakasan ko naman ung volume for the speech to be audible, napalakas naman ng background so ang nangyayari manual mode ako ngayon, lagi ko hawak remote  

Hindi malakas ang volume ng background, normal volume yan.  Pag tama ang volume ng dialog, tama ang volume ng buong soundtrack.



=================================



To get the correct volume level, use the volume of the dialog as basis.  Once you get the correct dialog volume, the volume of the entire sound mix is correct.

That's why Dolby's "Dialnorm" (dialog normalization) uses dialog volume level as basis for volume normalization.  

In fact, the FCC (US Federal Communications Commission) adopted Dolby's recommendation for digital broadcasting standards by specifying: "The value of the dialnorm parameter in the AC-3 elementary bit stream shall indicate the level of average spoken dialogue within the encoded audio program."

Sobra bang lakas ng effects and music pag tama ang dialog volume?  Hindi malakas yon sir, iyan talaga ang mix ng post-production technicians.  It's just that you're not used to proper volume levels.  

May garalgal ba ang sound pag lumalakas?  Kung ganon, hindi kaya ng sound system ang dynamic range ng soundtrack.  Kailangan ng external receiver and speakers.

Tama si sir ninjababez, receivers have a night mode function that reduces dynamic range.  When the night mode is on, volume of soft sounds are increased, while volume of loud sounds are decreased.
