Thanks

I tried experimenting with the DCS sound effect settings for Movies when listening / watching Hell Boy 2. It did alter the sound but was happy to revert to AFD Auto to turn these effects off. Then I read (on page 84 of the manual) that "If you set up the sound field effect while the receiver...

EvertonMonkey: So you dont watch normal tv or sky ? As a lot of those channels come through in stereo. I have tried some of the DCS, but I guess it is all a matter or taste (well hearing taste lol). If you use A.F.D I am pretty sure that it outputs as on the source (i.e blu-ray etc) if you...

EvertonMonkey: Hi Oxo, I asked some of the same questions about the calibration modes albeit with my Sony 5300ES, check out this thread. http://community.whathifi.com/forums/t/327941.aspx When watching tv I usually, use Neural-THX as I think it sounds better, voices are clearer and good all...

[size=3>[face=Calibri>I have a Sony setup with the BDP-S5000ES player, STR-DA5400ES amp and the VPL-HW10 projector all connected via HDMI. [size=3>[face=Calibri>I am enjoying watching movies in my cinema room but have a few ‘niggling’ questions mainly with settings on the amp...

I have placed three leather 350mm cubes (same as the seats) in front of the plinth to sit / put feet on and they look good (they match the 'blocks' in the artwork) and work a treat. We are really enjoying this room, we have enjoyed some great movies, so I am very pleased at the result so far...

Thanks Dave There is enough room to have my feet on the carpeted area of the 'plinth' but I am looking at leather 'cubes' that will also double up as occasional seating for my two granddaughters when they are old enough (they are 2 and 3 months) I would put 3 in front of the seats. As for the...

I am going to acoustical treat my room with 'Auralex' bass traps and wedgies. I have been advised by Dolphin Music on placement and will post pictures when complete. Tony

Nobody!

I am now looking deeper into the settings on my home cinema equipment and have found a setting that I am confused / unsure about. On my Sony VPL-HW10 it has a 'Film Mode' setting, this by default is Off but it also has an Auto setting. What is this for please and what relationship does it have...

fowler:well done mate it looks sweet! do you get a lot of light reflecting off the wall and ceiling on your screen? The light I get reflected is fine, but I do know it would be better darker. I can make the room TOTALLY dark but until recently I didn't become aware of having dark decor to cut...

Paulthefilmfan:Proper love it, a wicked set-up. Although trying not to put a downer on it... if it were me and i had put that much effort into it i would have picked much better seats, still loving it though bet its great. I wanted 'proper cinema seats' I got that idea and couldn't stop until I...

mjs:just a thought.. why did you put the electrics on the atacmama rack and not in the cupboard behind the seats? I did think of that at one point, but the electrics were all in that corner with a route up into the loft space above for the HDMI cable and power to the projector, so I went for...

Daveee:Oxocube are those seats more comfortable than the regular cinema ones that always give me a dead bum? Yes, I think they have extra padding.

Tom Moreno:the_lhc: daveh75:Very nice! ..........Where did you get the cinema seat's from? Ahem... "Seating from Evertaut Ltd the Orion range." Can't help thinking with that amp and blu-ray that you've short-changed on the speakers a little. Of course I'm just jealous cos I haven't got a...
