does anybody know why my denon 3808 avr goes into protection mode (crashes) when i have the audessey dynamic eq on? it never did that before i upgraded the damn thing and paid 100 bucks for it. it usually crashes during a loud bass/low frequency signal playback. when i go into the denon 3808 menu and turn the dynamic eq off. the problem goes away.
The only time we have seen the AVR3808 go into protection is when the power supply voltage drops lower than expected.
This usually occurs when there is a shorted speaker, causing the amp section to draw more current than the power supply can produce.
HOWEVER...we have seen whats happening in your case.
I'm gonna bet that the subwoofer amp and the receiver are powered from the same plug (or room circuit), and theres not enough current to run both.
For a test, run an extension cord from another room and use it to power the subwoofer.
That's the 1st test.
Lots more to try, but lets start with the easy one.

It looks like some folks are heading to Las Vegas for CES this winter. If anyone has experience calibrating a Sammy LED DLP (HL67a750) -- or simply thinks they can do a damn fine job -- send me a PM when you get a chance. Initially, I was thinking of having Best Buy do the work, but now I'm starting to have reservations. It's probably worth the extra money to have a seasoned professional on the job . . .

Cheers!

Also.. any comments on the calibration that the Best Buy Geek Squad does?

and...

Not sure how to address this one.. The media room shares a wall with a bedroom my wife uses as an office. It is the same wall that the screen is on and has 3 in wall speakers. Of course when watching a movie she can hear every word and vibration which drives her nuts. Any suggestions to reduce this without tearing down the wall? Would having an insulation company spray the foam insulation into the wall help?

Not using in wall speakers would be a plus along with adding insulation. Possibly different in walls like James could help as well.

Would having an insulation company spray the foam insulation into the wall help?

Insulating the wall will do very little to quiet the bedroom. Using in-wall speakers was probably the worst possible thing you could have done. If you can't or won't undo that error (and use speakers that stand free in the room), the only way you will get good isolation in the bedroom is to build a second wall inside the bedroom... a wall that does not contact the wall to the theater room. You want to use specialized products to attach drywall to this new wall... using screws in the drywall will compromize the isolation effect of the wall. You want to use at least 2 layers of drywall on each side of the new wall, and you want those layers separated from each other with a non-resonant adhesive (no screws again). You also want to completely seal the theater room wall so sound can't escape up into the spaces between ceiling joists allowing it to travel into the bedroom ceiling. Even more effective would be building a cinderblock wall between the theater room and bedroom, then putting a stud wall on the bedroom side in a manner where the studs don't touch the the cinderblock wall.

Insulation is not as effective as double or triple layers of drywall (5/8" minimum for each layer) with non-resonant adhesive holding the layers together. If you build a second wall in the master bedroom... adding insulation will help... A LITTLE, but using proper construction and materials (layers and non-resonant adhesive) will be more effective.

The only real "poor mans" solution would be to use 2 or more layers of drywall with non-resonant adhesive on the bedroom side. Overlap drywall joints so you don't have joints in the same places in multiple layers... also seal the joints with the non-resonant adhesive. You will still need to seal the top and sides of the theater room wall or sound will still get to the bedroom through the ceiling or sidewalls (or floor if that applies). If the bedroom and theater room share heating/cooling ducts a LOT of sound will transmit through those... the only fix is to replace metal duct work with fiberglass lined ducts... and that's especially effective if a few 90 degree turns can be placed between the theater room ducts and bedroom ducts can be introduced.

This is a big topic that is not easily solved with quick fixes. Done RIGHT (with an appropriate budget), you could potentially be listening to the theater room at 95 dB SPL levels with little or nothing getting to the bedroom. If that's not an option, your best solution is multi-channel headphones.

Would having an insulation company spray the foam insulation into the wall help?First, you should install/create a barrier behind/around the in-wall speakers and any other outlets/holes in the wall, both sides, then, consider installing a full barrier in the wall of the theater, no sense of disturbing the office.... Stopping the sound from passing to the other side of the wall is the best defense, it is more difficult to control it once it pass to the other surface of the wall.

Looking for an excellent calibrator for Hit 51S500 in the Atlanta area

I am looking for a good calibrator for my Panasonic PZ800U. I am located in Oelwein, IA. Thank you for your time.

I have read some settings that have been posted by users after their calibrations.

I see some sharpness settings are at -15 or in that area.

That looks terrible when I set my sharpness to anything below 0.

DO the ISF sharpness levles match the standard user sharpness controls?

The last thing I want is to get a calibration where the calibrator leaves my set with the sharpness toned down.

Right. A real good one is the blocks from the DVE IRE windows, esp. the close to darkest ones. Watch for the crispest vertical edge you can get, without creating a false edge to it.

I specialize in CRT tech, and would love to completely dial in your set, including the new CRT array shimming mod that I do for these sets, sharpening them up even more. And the Craig Rounds ee mod, if your set is so equipped. And red push eradication, using sm regs, the I2C interface, or PerfectColor. And the all-important image structure...

Been out of the loop for a bit, pounding the beat at a retail seller of HT gear. Tough on the feet, way too easy on the brain.

I’m now retired from that and will be spending more time one again with calibrations in the field.

I hope to be able to answer your questions on the latest gear as I’ve had hands on experience with all fixed pixel displays and projectors from,

Sony
Mitsubishi
Toshiba
Panasonic
Pioneer
Visio
Runco
Samsung
And others

My experience with these new displays has found that while most have improved vastly from just a few years ago, all will benefit with calibration.

Glad to be back!

what about the HL67A750?
how well does it calibrate?

The A750s should calibrate very well. The A650s which are bulb based calibrates Very well so I don't see why the A750 wouldn't. For anyone who has had BB do a calibration on these sets, I am curious to know if they did a full CCA calibration or if the simply adjusted RGB cuts/gains. Reason I ask is I am sure these particular sets exceeds their alloted time for calibration when done properly.


Any other opinions on the Samsung HL67A750 DLP? I am thinking of getting one of these. Any expert calibrators in southern California on these sets and how much would it cost?

I bought some of the Dynamat En-Wall product, installed for the 3 in wall speakers in the shared wall between the media room and the bedroom my wife uses as an office. I never expected them to completely abate the noise but figured any little bit would help. For $40 or so per box they cannot be beat! With normal volume the sound in her office is almost not noticeable. Still a small bit of bass but definitely not annoying as it was before. Very pleased!

Don't hesitate in getting a calibration done by Doug(DroptheRemote)Weil. I've had my Panasonic(8UK) plasma calibrated a couple years ago, and very happy with the results. Very honest and a pleasure to deal with.

AFAIK every ISF calibrator is "better" than others, for example, for a very spcific kind of CRT projector.

According to your experience, who can be appointed "most expert in Marquee deep calibration and modding"?

I mean someone who knows that PRJ as his own pockets and can really get the best from a calibration.

Thanks a lot for your suggestions.

Thanks a lot for your suggestions.Jeff, it would be helpful to know where you are, unless you're indicating that for the right guy you would fly them to wherever you and your projector are.

Chuck Williams in San Francisco and Michael Hamilton in Arizona would be my top nominees if location is not an issue for you.

That's the right one :):):) (obviously if the calibrator is willing to).

Thanks for your suggestions

also Dan Miller, out of NJ is a crt expert (heck, he used to design them).

For anyone in the S.F./Northern California area who's looking for a calibrator, I can highly recommend Robert Jones. He recently calibrated and cleaned my six year old Elite PRO-730HD CRT rear-projector. The improvement is really striking -- even my wife and daughter were blown away by the clarity and depth of the picture. I'm very happy I decided not to replace this TV with a flat panel. I own much newer plasma sets by Pioneer (Elite) and Panasonic, as well as a Samsung LCD, and while they have excellent PQ, they can't compete with the CRT RPTV when it comes to black levels and picture clarity.

Hi Guys,

I am in the need of a calibration and overscan reduction and geometry resize.
I have a pioneer SD 532HD5 CRT RPTV.
I just had the power supply replaced and replaced the 2 IC chips STK392-110.
I want to use my HDTV to watch HD football games.
However the score info line at the top of the screen is above my viewing area off screen. So I need overscan reduction. CNBC also has a HD channel and much of the data is beyond my viewing area off screen on left and right sides and the top. My Sat feed is Dish network.
Also my convergence lines in user mode are bending at the screen edges becoming concave. The TV needs a lot of work.
I am in Grand Forks, ND.
Who can come to me and solve my problems?

I'd be glad to, I specialize in CRT tech and overscan redux in particular. I also resolder the PS boards in the 510/610/710 Elite series, which includes your non-Elite model which coulda saved you having to get a new PS board for your set. Send me a plane ticket, I fly out of OAK, or from SFO by special arrangement.

Greetings,

My apologies for the difficulty with our website and emails - we were having issues with our old web/email hosting company and needed to migrate to another server. That said, I believe we are in that 12-24 hour window where the settings are being updated and it is going to be intermittent. My hope is to be back online by this evening with full email and web capabilities with a new and reliable server. :)

We appreciate everyone that takes the time to get in touch with us and know how frustrating it can be to not get a response, or get a delayed response. That said, we are offering a $25 discount to calibrations booked between now and Sunday, March 15th.

In the meantime, if you would like to get in touch with Dave please feel free to call 323-679-4079, or Eliab at 908-531-7028.

Good Pictures!

Just got off the phone with Eliab, he explained the problem with the server and all will be fixed soon. Any body in the Hampton roads area (Norfolk, Virginia beach) Eliab will be in our area to do a couple of Samsung HL 67A750 LED DLPs for a buddy and me the weekend of April 25. Chas

Anyone near mongomeryville pa 19454 that can calibrate a sammy pn58a550?

If you have the opportunity to have Prather Warren callibrate your system for you, I recommend very strongly that you take advantage of it. Just last night, Prather traveled 65 miles from Baton Rouge to my home in Thibodaux, Louisiana to callibrate my KURO Elite 151FD. Before the callibration I thought the picture was spectacular. But after Prather finished with it, it is truly breathtaking. It doesn't seem possible that a TV picture can look better than real life... but it does! Prather set up his equipment and went to work immediately, explaining and teaching us as he went. My wife was VERY skeptical about the whole callibration process and didn't want to take a chance on anyone screwing up her new TV. Prather soon eased her worries by the way he confidently proceded and explained everything he was doing. He also callibrated my Denon Blu-Ray player and he even did a quickie eyeball callibration on my 38" Samsung LCD in the bedroom.

When I was looking for someone to callibrate my Kuro, I wanted someone who truly enjoyed callibrating and was genuinely passionate about his work. That's why I chose Prather. Trust me, you won't regret getting Prather to configure your
system.

I am located in NYC. I have a Kuro 111FD & an 05FD BD player. Aside from calibrating my video setup I would also like someone that does audio for my VSX-01THX AV receiver and 5.1 Polk speaker setup. Do all three of these gentlemen do both audio & video? Also is there anyone else in the NYC area that I am overlooking?

I believe only Jeff does Audio of those three...

I do advanced audio and video calibration also and have ControlCAL for the Kuro. I tour to NYC and have tons of feedback from customers (both audio and video) on my website.

I know Gregg Loewen does audio as well. He's the lead Video Trainer for THX. I think he offers a free audio tune-up with a video calibration. Don't quote me on that, but shoot him an email or go to his website and fill out the service request form.

Jeff thanks for the perfect calibration on my Kuro. I wanted to give the Pioneer some seat time with old & new blue-ray and DVD movies before I really passed judgment.

Does anyone here calibrate for Sears?

Sears offers Calibration?

Does anyone here calibrate for Sears?As far as I know, Sears is not part of any organized, certified video calibration program.

If your local Sears store is offering video calibration, I would advise that you be very specific with them in finding out exactly what services are provided and how the calibrators have been trained. If they do not provide evidence of either ISF or THX certification, it is not a good deal, regardless of price.

I was told that Sears retains an ISF certified calibrator to do work as part of a home warranty program (or something like that). It just seems to good to be true. Having all the sets calibrated included in the warranty would be something I would be very interested in. I just was wondering if any of you where working with Sears and may have some details for me.

For calibration you will be better off going with someone that is known and has good references.

I recently purchased a 42S1 and am looking to get it calibrated, unfortunately google and the ISF calibration search sites have left me empty handed. Does anyone know of a calibrator that travels to the Reading, PA area?

His website is here www.lionav.com where you'll find a form to fill out requesting services and he will reply back to you.

Let me know how it turns out. There are also MANY highly skilled and experienced ISF calibrators in this thread that would be happy to serve you. Good luck in your search.

Very unlikely that even if they do have a calibrator "on call" for some reason with their home warranty program, that they would do a calibration for free under warranty. Having a calibration done on a set is optional procedure that can be done to get the best you can get out of a TV or a projector, it is not something that is done as a warranty procedure. So even if they do have a calibrator available, and not just their normal Sears swap out parts until it works again repair droid, they probably also would charge you something extra for having it done.

Alaska, anyone? It's beautiful here in the summertime. :cool:

Seriously, I'm sure I'm not the only Alaskan who would love to find a calibrator willing to come here without making the customer(s) pay for the travel expenses. Would any of you consider making the trip as a semi-vacation if enough of us arranged for your services? How many jobs would you need?

Oh you are not alone...but I guess we stuck with Magnolia unless you buy from Schemeks. They only cailbrate tvs they sell.

I'd be glad to see Alaska, but no, you guys would have to pay the travel expenses. I would donate the time in the air and waiting for planes, which as you may have forgotten, is lost production time. Or play time. Or making out time. Or any other time that is then lost forever.

I do throw that in. But sorry, can't just throw in the travel expenses too. (But what's that about anyway? I've always heard people in Alaska get paid beaucoup bucks. :confused:)

Would be glad to come up, tho, and do a bunch of calibrations up there for you. I am sure if 5 owners or more got together - plus a few more simple optics cleanings for CRT RPTVs - my favorite displays - which are very easily affordable and can be done separately from the fullscale calibrations - that we could make it happen.

The more the merrier, tho! I'd be glad to do 10 or 12, if you could put that together. And as long as it would not take longer than 2 weeks. 2 weeks is kinda usually my limit for being away from home, tho in this case I could see stretching that a bit...

There will be no travel charges since I am heading to Wisconsin anyway for an event. I will be travelling mainly through Kansas City, Des Moines, Iowa City, Cedar Rapids and Madison and places in between. I can make it to Milwaukee if you schedule ahead of time. I don't normally travel up this way, so take advantage of a THX calibration without the travel charges! I have references and have listed my equipment for any potential clients information.

Thanks

Sounds good, I'm in... I'd have to check when I go home, the hours usage my bulb is currently at but Im guessing somewhere around 1k. Should I replace it before August then?

I can get you started with my phone consultation, where I guide you thru exactly how to do the optics cleaning without endangering your irreplaceable optics. There are other facets of calibration that can be handled on the phone as well. Until you get a calibrator closeby, you might want to check out that option, so you'll be crystal clear (pun intended :p) on how good your set can look once you again have a crystal clear light path. Then you can plan the rest of the work.

Contact me directly, not by pm please -

BTW, if you want to know why I agree that you just can't let go of your CRT yet, try this thread, where I say exactly the same thing. I started it almost 3 years ago now, it's been amazingly well attended, we're nearing our 200th page. CRT owners have come out of the woodwork in support of CRT triple-gun tech, and with all of us sharing our thoughts, our sets are looking truly amazing.

I had my SONY lcd calibrated by Gregg Loewen almost two weeks ago now.
Gregg came in on time. He immediately started working on my set.
Now, the colors are accurate. Blacks are blacker and the overall picture quality
is excellent now.
I would recommend Gregg to anyone who is looking for a
professional calibration.

I am newer than a newbie regarding home theater in general and was inquiring if ISF calibrations services also pertain to calibrating a person’s receiver and speakers. I am in the process of getting all the equipment and will be looking for bids to do the pre wiring, full install and then calibration. Maybe a person who can do all at once or the last two at once.

Thanks.

Make sure you have a proper design completed before you purchase equipment. More than anything, you need to know what can and cannot work in your room. Just because you may want something does not necessarily mean you can incorporate into your room so that you maximize its benefits.

Thank you kindly.

We are not really fussy. It is something to go in the bedroom and the "seating" will actually be our bed (Adjustable Bed) but a bed neatherless. We are kind of looking to have a nice set up that we can watch and enjoy movies in bed which we would normally be snoring anyway within 20 minutes :P
I am just not a technical person. I already purchased the display, receiver and blu ray player based on reviews and what i have read here per my budget. The speakers i have had for a few years. So i guess i have missed a few steps regarding the proper design part. I will be planning to add night shades to bring the light down, as well as painting the walls with Ralph Lauren Manchester Brown paint.

Hi everyone, newbie here. I'm looking for anyone who would be able to do a professional cleaning/calibration in the Augusta, Georgia area. I tried using the ISF locator website, but the regional people that I e-mailed never responded back to me.

My TV is a Hitachi 57F510 RPTV (purchased around January '05) which has never been cleaned or professionally calibrated before (for shame!). I'd attempt the cleaning myself but I'm not exactly a handyman and don't want to damage the set, which I love very much. As far as the calibration goes, I've done about all I can do with it using the normal TV menu along with Digital Video Essentials. I'm interested in seeing what some Service Menu tweaking will do, but again I'm hesitant to do it myself. Personally I think it looks pretty darn great right now (especially when watching Blu-Ray on PS3), but I know it could be much better.

Thanks in advance!

Just curious if you ever found someone to do your calibration? I am near Augusta and have a relatively new LCD that I was considering getting calibrated.

Anyone in South Carolina? Charleston area to be specific.

If not, it's a great place to take a summer vacation, and hit me up whilst you're here :D

Hi.. I live in Hollywood, CA and need some professional calibration. This is for my home. This is my first flat screen TV. It is a month old. I have 3 issues:

1. Samsung 55" LED (UN55B6000) and LG 390 Blu Ray

2. HP LP3065 - 30" monitor for my Mac Pro, which if you know how, I'd love to get that calibrated too. Problem being that because it is a HP, it doesn't have the controls available for the Mac and the Mac on board controls only allow so much on non-Apple monitors.

3. If you also happen to know Photoshop CS3 and can help set my color space once we get the HP calibrated, that would be icing on the cake 2 times over.

But first priority is #1.

I'd like to know your experience with these issues and background (how long, full or part time tech, how you charge, contact info, etc.)

Many thanks! Steven
