Let me know.

I think your Surrounds are fine where they are. My FOUR Surrounds (Sides/Rears) are all about 2-3'

[Show spoiler](30" exactly actually)

above Ear Level when I'm sitting on my 'Sweet Spot' (center of my couch).

Any higher would be unnecessary IMO

Wow , that's very generous of you Aero , but Al was just questioning the response of my rear speakers, and told me to measure them. I'm very happy with the results that Audyssey gave me, but it does seem odd that it said my side surrounds go down to 80hz, but my rear surrounds only go down to 150hz, even though they are the exact same speakers.

My side speakers are mounted directly to the walls and my rears are sitting on shelves, so I'm sure that has a lot to do with it, but that just seems like an awfully large difference. I even built a "back support shelf" for the rears hoping that would help bring them down a little, but I've ran Audyssey three times now, with pretty much the exact same results each time. It actually sounds amazing, but just seeing "150hz" on the screen for the rears bothered my OCD.

One really cool feature on my 809 is a "built-in SPL meter" for adjusting the sub(s) before running Audyssey. It puts out a test tone, and tells you to adjust the gain level on the actual subwoofer to 75db(72db each for two subs) shown on the TV screen/AVR display. With two subs, you just turn one off, adjust the other one to 72db, then turn that one off and do the same on the other sub. After setting them this way, and running Audyssey, my adjusted sub level in my receiver is set at -0.0-

Thanks again for the generous offer, but I'm very happy with the Audyssey settings.

Well, I meant something like a movie marathon, but instead I went in there and looked around, then got out my measuring tape and started making sure my speakers were nice and symmetrical, and then the next thing I know, I've spent almost four hours in there rearranging and lining everything up, and making sure everything is level.

Now I just need to run Audyssey, after moving everything, but it's freakin' raining again, and there's some idiot a few houses over mowing his yard with the loudest lawnmower ever made, in the dark and the rain!


How are you doing?

Thanks Bill.

I may not have the nicest setup in the world, but I try to squeeze every single ounce of quality out of what I have that I can. I'm a pretty laid back guy about most things, but when it comes to my HT, I'm very OCD.


I just ran Audyssey for the 4th time, and the conditions were perfect. No thunder/rain, lawnmowers, or redneck neighbors at all. Just absolutely perfect silence. I also spent about an hour or more doing it, because I was measuring every single position with my measuring tape, and writing down notes about every single detail. The funny thing is, the results were pretty much exactly the same as the other three times that I ran it. I guess that's a good sign that Audyssey really knows what it's doing.

I really don't know why I feel compelled to keep rerunning it, because it sounds fantastic! I think this forth time has really convinced me to just leave it alone, and finally start enjoying my new setup.

(Yeah,right)

Crap now im getting an even more red projector image. Strange thing is i placed them like on this picture.





I sure hope it's not the lcd cable strips that has been damage. But maybe i need too reverse the red and blue?

Can you slide the panels in backwards? If so then that would be my guess.

Holy crap dude! Your getting way above my head with some of this stuff. I naively didn't realize how complicated a pj is. I really hope you just put the wrong thing in the wrong spot, because that should be fixable.

The appears to be the inside of a Samsung projector as well (according to the file name) I wonder if the Epson panel location is different.

Im not completely sure what you mean. There's no room for the mirror too move around. I didn't tinker with the 3 lcds.

I think i might have damaged or blocked one of the color strips ports (the blue/right one) on the bottom board and that might be the culprit. Im really lost too what else it could be. I've taken the stuff off and back in so many times now that im getting dizzy.
