sorry.. I tried a few different ways.

Thanking you in advance,

When your graphs are on your computer screen press "Print Screen". Open "Paint" and press "Control V"(the control key and the letter V key at the same time). The graph should now show on your paint sheet, press "File" an hit "Save As", change the file to a "J Peg" file and save it, you should be good to go. Do the same for the rest of the files. Don't forget to show your "Targets" screen also.

Is there a sound quality difference between using L/R preamp-out connections vs. LFE-out connection for a sub-woofer?

I currently use LFE-out on my Focal SW800V, but want to use L/R preamp-out instead to keep the analog signal from my turntable/phone stage as pristine as possible. Only way to do this seems to be to bypass the ADC, which in turn means no ARC or s/w LFE out, so leaves me with no choice but to wire s/w directly using L/R preamp-outs. Am guessing this would be my permanent configuration if it works out.

I would normally try this out before asking, but I do not have long enough cables to experiment. Before I plop down cable $, I thought I'd ask you experts...

A second follow-up on this question. The attached is from Oppo:

Dual HDMI Outputs - The BDP-93 is equipped with two HDMI output ports and offers the most versatile installation options. You do not have to upgrade your A/V receiver to a 3D model in order to enjoy 3D. One HDMI output of the BDP-93 can be connected to a 3D TV and the other can be connected to a pre-3D HDMI v1.1-v1.3 A/V receiver. For projector users, you can connect one output to a projector for home theater use and the other to a TV for casual viewing. For a multi-room installation the BDP-93 can output audio and video to two 3D or 2D TVs simultaneously.

Check the top row of your keyboard on the far right.
It may say PRTSC instead of Print Screen.

Print Screen is a button on your keyboard. May be labeled PrtSc or some such. Pressing the Alt Button and the Prtsc button at the same time copies the active window screen to the clipboard buffer that can then be pasted into any application such as windows paint.

I know the D2 can do 1600x1200. I was hoping that feature wasn't lost with the D2V/AVM50. 1600x1200 actually requires less video bandwidth then 1920x1080p, so I'm hoping it's supported through using a custom resolution.

Most 1600x1200 outputs are way to small to be legible on a television screen.

It's a front projector CRT. I currently use this resolution when viewing 4x3 material. My reason to use this resolution is that it reduces visbility of scan lines. It has the added benefit of allowing for a brighter image.

Thanks again

The AVM50/D2 and AVM50v/D2v use the same video processor, the Gennum VXP. So whatever resolutions were supported in the AVM50 / D2 will be supported in the D2v/50v as well.

Windows 7 comes with something better than Print Screen. It's called Snipping Tool and it can be found in your All Programs menu under Accessories.

Just when the D2 is in between, then the only 480p, 720p and 1080i are selectable, all other res and especially 1080p are visible but "greyed out" and not selectable.

I understand, as Bob explained in a former thread to this device, that the job of a "repeater processing" of EDID is more complex than when player and TV are directly connected. But interestingly some other cheaper AV receivers do obviously this job.... So I am quite disappointed in this respect.

Maybe interesting for someone else. I have solved the problem of the video resolutions between D2 and Xtreamer by connecting in between a Gefen HDMI Detective device, which gives a preselected EDID to the Media Box (Xtreamer) and thus let me choose 540p, 720p, 1080i50Hz, 1080p50Hz.

i finale made it.
i'am not sure that the room gain is correct, becurse i also use a SVS a1 EQ, so ACR can't see the peaks, and this will cheat the mesured roomgain
but i must say that the bass is very presice, witt a lot of texture.
any comment will be nice.

edit: i'ts a mistake in the mowie setup......the front is set to 90hz by ACR, and it works great.

Try setting the sub high pass in the advanced menu in ARC to Flat and recalculate. You might get a flatter response to 20Hz and below. Post the new sub chart if you try this.

I'will try that latter.
My bigest concern is the very low room gain , proberly becurse of the svs A1 had made the correction ón the subs before Arc had made the messurement

As Nick said a couple pages back ARC won't boost it if doesn't think it's available. You have a dip in your fronts right about where the crossovers start and I think this may have some affect in the small room gain number also.

Have you tried ARC without the A1 on the premise that less processing might be better?

A well treated room may also show a very low room gain.

Charts look good. I would say check your sub to make sure you disable any crossover in your sub. If you have a frequency knob, turn it all the way up. If you do this, you will have to remeasure.

Looks like someone is giving Jayray a run for his money to have the best looking sub graph in this forum. If I am reading it correctly.

Peter ...congrats on getting to post your graphs

- Now, I really don't understand why your sub high frequency response is set too low by ARC since its capable of much higher response. Assuming no crossover setting is set (doubt it as it would have shown in the measured curves), you might ttry to boost your room gain to 1.5 - 2.0, recalculate, upload and give it a listen. This should lower your mains freq response to mesh in well with the subs high frequency cutoff.

- Might try raising your high freq response from 5K to 10K. Your front mains can handle up to 15k but your rears can't. Give it a listen as well.

- Set sub highpass filter setting to flat as has been already mentioned.

I did use PBK and ARC. Below are the two diff curves, ARC alone and with PBK for people to compare. The difference wasn't very noticeable using PBK and ARC but I left it using both. What you do notice is the change in the measured curve after PBK.

Hi,

to be honest you don't need it with ARC and Quick Measure. I had one, and it worked fantastic for finding the best location for the sub and for equalizing nasty peaks. But ARC does the same thing and is one less thing to have in the signal processing.

Hope this helps.

Cheers.

Tony

I'm still not sure how the Oppo with two HDMI outputs is related to the DirecTV 3D receiver. Reading back through the thread are you trying to say you are going to run the DirecTV receiver through the Oppo? If so I think you are mistaken in the Oppo's capability.

i have run the svs a1 first. my room is not treaded.

here is a old picture of my living room. the closest corner from the subs are about 4 meters. i had tryet to raise the room gain to 1.0xxxx and i feel the sound to be more warm, but still very open.
maby i shout try to run ACR whitout SVS a1, to see what room gain it come up with.

edit:
there is no filter on the subs. the processor do all of the stuff

If a sub measures fine anechoically and drastically differently in-room even after correction, a better sub position ought to be the first consideration. This is the closest thing to a miracle cure.

If you haven't, try ARC without the sub's eq.

All: If something doesn't appear to make sense, sent your .arc file to tech support (not screenshots). We can view each position independently - this removes much guesswork.
