Hi Sonerin,
I’ve checked that most TV ARC HDMI do not support 5.1 surround. Only Stereo.
With your recommendation mean I lost the high quality sound, right?
Any other solution to this?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Arslow,
Thanks for your message.
I need to check which TV do have eARC.
have you known anyone using eARC?
As I read from internet, eARC need both device eARC compatible.

Finally I'm done with my new home-theater set refresh ^^

TV: OLED LG 65C9
Receiver: Yamaha RX-A1080
Center speaker: Klipsch RP-500C
Front speaker: Klipsch RP-600M
Atmos speaker: Klipsch R-41SA (mounted and configured as front height)
Subwoofer: Klipsch R100SW
Surround speaker: Polk Audio Signature S10

so much of improvement compare to my old set below 
TV: Sharp 40 inch LED
Receiver" Yamaha RX-V671
5.1 speakers: Yamaha satellite speakers + subwoofer, cannot remember which model

Yes, almost parallel to 600m, honest speaking atmos speaker still advisable to use ceiling speaker ....pls try the demo at show room then you will know the difference

Not sure what is your situation, if you have down light with plaster ceiling than is easy to solve, even wire will be easily hide

Putting this nice acoustic panel on the wall[attachmentid=10379012]

PB16 ultra and SB16 ultra

hello guy...
i just wanna change my current blu ray home theater to used set av receiver and just found this option
1. denon avr-2803
2. denon avr-1706
3. Yamaha RX-V540
4. Yamaha RX-V450

which u guy think is better one....?

  hahaha no la...just found this set when i go thru this online site
so i just wanna try it....so i can consider this antique already....ok2 thank mate

where i can get sr252 in KL area..?

Phase is the signal in which the sub plays, whether it is in or out of phase. In 0 degrees, the driver will be driving forwards (as if it's exhaling), in 180 degrees it does the opposite. Depending on the sub, some allows variable phase so you can set between 0 to 180. MiniDSP allows you to manipulate it further by using filters as well.

There is no golden number and a "good value" to follow is not accurate. It depends on how you locate your subs. If you just put in the front, generally 0 degree phase is recommended but sometimes you may want to change it if you're doing stereo bass for example.

Phase is important when you put subs in opposite directions of a room. You have to measure at your MLP with a calibrated mic to see what's going on with your room acoustics to determine what phase value to use. Just tuning by ear is illogical because the directionality of human ears are trash below 80hz.

Yes it makes sense IMO to get a minidsp even if you only have 1 sub. No auto room correction on the mainstream receivers are good enough to solve bass issues anyway. MiniDSP isn't going to fix everything inherrent with single sub problems though. You will still have to do some work to intergrate the sub as best as possible with the rest of your room.

UMIK-1 is only a mic, it doesn't do anything for you other than measure and let you know what's wrong with your system. I see that you are using a PB2000 and not a Pro, so you can't use the SVS app to dial in the PEQ needed from the data you get with REW. If you're going to use the Audyssey app with your receiver, I think you might as well just stick with Audyssey and not buy anything.

Get the whole package of minidsp 2x4HD + UMIK1 if you can.

@bolded
If you want to keep Atmos, then no you can't actually correct all your speakers. But there is no point to actually.

The thing is, EQing anything above the room transition frequency (which is usally 300-350hz) can become detrimental. The reason for that is because mics become very directional above 400hz, much more directional than our human ears (yes, our human ears suck - real bad). This means that many auto room EQ tend to overcompensate (especially YPAO and MCACC due to them using a form IRR filters) and correct much more than they need to which in turn harms your mid range and more importantly, kill or overboost your treble region.

There is a laymen way of saying turning on audyssey muffles everything or YPAO makes everything sound too bright, although that's not technically accurate and they don't understand why it's doing it - the notion makes sense as a whole.

You can get a minidsp and EQ the frequencies below 100hz (or whatever your crossover point is set to below that). Then use Audyssey (note: only the Audyssey app allows you to limit the range of EQ, the built-in one on the receiver does not) to correct everything else from 100hz to 300-500hz. Leave the rest alone.

Yes watch HT Guru's video as well as Audioholics. They are good starting points to understanding minidsp and REW more. Then come over to the avsforum REW thread if you need more technical questions answered.

Take note minidspb has been out of stock since the lockdown started though.

bro i see ur receiver is x1500h, dont have pre-out, how u plan connect the minidsp? or u only plan to connect the subwoofer

sakit。。。。。 usually yes. make sure account is legit (not scammer).
i receive a lot fake DHL in work email.
