Newbie w/ several problems/questions

Posted by Noah Katz [IP: 192.68.162.164] on November 27, 1998 at 18:12:44:

I've had the DC-1 since July, but didn't hook it up til now, as my system was apart while I built an in-wall home for it all. It sounds *great*. Several issues, though.

1) For the first couple of days, Effects Bypass worked, but now when I activate it the only thing that plays is the Subs. What's going on?

2) Unless I set the Video input to V-disc, the on-screen display is an unreadable gray on blue. For example, the Dish receiver is assigned to VCR1's S-VHS video inout; I get the Dish picture but can't read the OSD.

3) The L/R speakers for music are on a wall adjacent to the video speakers, and there's no center speaker. Speaker Configuration, near as I can tell (I haven't done all the necessary experiments yet), is global, so that if I set center ON for video, I'll have a big hole in the middle for music listening. Or does turning down the center speaker level in Effects Adjust add the signal back into L/R?

4) When I set the sub level by sound level meter (yes, with "C" weighting), it's way too loud; - 5 dB from the setup level seems about right. Why would that be? Also, is there a quicker-access way to set sub level than going into Output Levels or Effects Adjust?

1) On TV (Dish and broadcast), including movies which I'd expect to be Dolby encoded, there's not much surround effect in Logic 7 or TV Matrix. Which effect are other people using?

Thanks a lot.

Noah
