I have a 46" Samsung TV, 9 years old, UN46B6000FXZA. One day a couple weeks ago, it suddenly developed mostly red or white/pale pink, vertical lines (this happened right when the TV was turned on; it was perfectly fine when turned off previously). They fade and reappear; sometimes covering the whole screen, sometimes just a portion, sometimes not at all. Brightness varies as well. They have an affinity for text on the screen, like station identification: Much more likely for the lines to appear/be brighter directly in line with screen text. This is definitely the TV, they appear when there is no input at all. I have the service manual.

Things we've done: Replace mainboard, replace TCON, reset all accessible cables. It was suggested that I "swap" the two ribbon cables along the bottom of the T-CON, but I cannot figure out how to safely disconnect them from the LCD. Does the narrow shield over top come off? How? I didn't want to mess around too much since, you know, ribbon cables. Pic included.

The other item it's been suggested I replace is the LVDS cable, but at $67 when I've already replaced two working boards... looking for advice as to how likely it is that this problem is the cable, rather than the panel buffers or LCD itself, both of which I'm led to understand are not replaceable.

I'm not a TV expert, but have been fixing computers for over 20 years, and what is a TV these days, but a specialized computer?

Any advice welcome. I really like this TV, and really don't want to buy a new one.

I currently have a wired 5.1 sound system coming from my 10 year old Onkyo HT receiver. I'll be buying a new 7.1 receiver after Christmas and will have to add two more speakers for the back channels. However, I don't want to run wires for them. So, can I hook up two wireless speakers to my new receiver for just the back channels while retaining the existing 5 speakers I have now?

If so, should I consider blu-tooth or wi-fi systems? (the rear speakers will be about 16 feet from the receiver and will be in the line of sight). If just wireless amps are an option I do have another pair of Polk Audio speakers I could use that match the 5 Polks in my 5.1 setup. Thanks for some guidance.

I have a Marantz SR6012 in a 5.1.2 setup. I have two Onkyo SKH-410 dedicated Upfiring speakers connected to the Height1 R & L connections on the receiver. These speakers are designed to sit on top of a table or existing speaker pair and bounce the sound off the ceiling for the desired Atmos affect.

If I play a movie like "The Matrix" in Atmos mode, I don't get any audio out of these speakers unless I change the amp configuration in the receivers setup mode.
If I make the change to 9.1 dedicated surround and select 2 dolby Atmos speakers I get mirrored audio that is being played by the normal left and right speaker channels.



My questions are:

How can I make sure I am getting Atmos only sound FX from these speakers? Is there a good way to test?

Is it normal for the Atmos speakers to mirror the left and right speakers? Do they mirror and play additional Atmos sounds


Not sure if I should be posting this in the receiver thread but I am extremely frustrated with my setup thus far. I cannot tell any difference.



Thanks!

I currently have the Denon AVR1610. Is the Sony STR-DH790 a significant upgrade? I have a basement theater setup. 8 ft ceilings, 16x20 or so. In addition to the Denon I have:

Optoma HD 142X projector
Polk Audio
TSx 150c Center Channel
TSx 220b Front
TSx 110b Surround
Klipsch R-120 SW Subwoofer (Brand new)

I will eventually over time add more speakers and may go to in wall, in ceiling speakers.

Looking to upgrade something with the $300 I won in my fantasy football league :)

I can't get full surround sound (DTS) to play on this yamaha sound bar, it's only outputting DPL (stereo). I've tried both HDMI ARC and optical audio connections. I've got Anynet+ enabled on the tv (and it can control the "receiver" volume), and 5.1 passthrogh enabled on the shield tv and kodi.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

First and foremost, this bake-off will be for my purposes and my subjective opinion only. Selfishly this is the case and there will be obvious scientific method faux pas as well as selfish home theater setting choices.

In my quest for home theater nirvana I've come to the conclusion that one of the biggest differentiators in AVR's is the room correction. Especially if you subscribe to the "external amps only provide sonic benefit when an internal clips". I've found that if I try 1 AVR's room correction there were pros and cons and then I switched and found myself missing things from the previous "you don't know what you got 'til it's gone" and/or recentsy effect and/or the grass is always greener and/or AVS will consume you.

In a few weeks (mid January), I'm going to order 2 additional AVR's to "test" against my NAD 758v3 with Full Range Dirac 2.0. The AVR's will be mid-range AVR's in the $1200 to $1500 range (non-refub'd).

History:

I've owned a Marantz SR7010 and have about a solid year of listening to Audessey XT32. I also had maddening intermitant technical issues due to an HDMI board. It completely soured me and I had a terrible time figuring it out. It ruined my enjoyment for quite some time because I was constantly looking for flaws

In comes the NAD 758v3 and I have a solid year of listening to that. Unfortunately that has a flaw in the Atmos expansion card and the pre-outs produce a bit of static and the levels are low. I'm waiting on getting that repaired (when NAD is back for the holidays).

So I'm 0 for 2 on AVR's that just work out of the box

For those on the fence like me, the vsx-lx503 is on sale at Frys today at only $547 (Moderator sorry if I am not supposed to put the price). Seems like a hella of deal for 11 channels, phono and flareconnect, despite the global crossover?

I am replacing my old Sony A50 tv that died ( yeah I know its really old). But this tv was hooked up to all my nice av speakers etc. The room is fairly light with 4 windows from 2 angles. I have shades but they are light colored and still let in a lot of light. however I could change out the shades to a darker color for daytime viewing. my wife and I are now empty nesters and have rearranged our house a bit and will be spending more time in this area. She watches a lot of movies and tv series. I do a lot of gaming and just got an XBOX one X to take advantage of the built in 4k player. I would like 65 inches but can live with 55 inches. viewing is 8 to 10 feet. mostly straight on as there is just the two of us but . I have looked at OLED and have considered the LG 55 inch both B and C series are within my budget which is up to 2K. If I go with LCD/LED I have looked at Sammy QLED and Sony XBR but depending on which one I look at they could be over budget. I am concerned about the gaming and potential burn in on the OLED but perhaps my concerns are not valid. I would appreciate any recommendations. thanks to all who respond.

Hello all. I have a Denon AVR 1912. A few years back the ARC stopped working with my Samsung TV. Disappointing but I've been able to work around it. Then I noticed the headphone jack was loose. Again, don't use that feature much so no big deal. A few months back a software issue nixed the Pandora, seems like for good. Fine, I'll stream from the phone. Just tried to use the outside two channel speakers and I get low volume from one and nothing from the other. Was going to troubleshoot the speakers but honestly I'm pretty fed up with the shortcomings of this unit. Also to be honest I bought it for sound quality alone and it has delivered and still is as far as 5.1 is concerned, however I've grown to hate the UI and lack of user friendliness. Anyone just replace their Denon with a new Denon? Did you have any issues like mine? If you switched to Onkyo or Pioneer or something else are you glad you did? I'm seeing the Onkyo TXNR 676 get very good reviews and it's very affordable right now. Thanks!

I found out recently that Bose is a big no-no, I was looking at the Lifestyle 650.

• My budget would be at Max $4300 USD.
• I live in Saudi Arabia but I can order stuff from the US/India if absolutely need be (it'll add a lot of cost). I prefer worldwide shipping.
• I primarily watch movies through a projector with USB. Hence I would need a system that separates audio and video. Video to the projector, and audio to the speakers. The system should also take USB video/audio in.
• I do listen to music so some sort of wireless connectivity (with my phone) would be ideal.

Open to any and all suggestions!

My space: I am not sure of the dimensions yet (I'm moving soon) but the room looks like (Icantpostlinks), the projector highlighted in red and the wall (to be projected on) in blue. Audience will be facing the blue wall, with their back to the red projector.

Has anyone built a subwoofer riser platform with a cut-out to slide in a proamp (to drive the sub)? Any issues?

I have a pair of 12" driver, 2 cuft sealed subs in a 2 channel system, that are driven by a Crown Drivecore 1500 class D amp. The amp was in a closet, with long cable runs needed to reach both subs. So I am adding another identical Crown, so each one can drive a single sub, and locate the amps close to the cabinets.

I'm thinking I can build a platform box with the amp mounted on the (inside) side, so all of the "illumination" won't be shining in my face. Just have to figure how much clearance is needed from the top of the amp to the top of the platform box. I'll be drilling vent and cable holes in the sides that won't be seen.

My home theater is a multipurpose setup for movies, gaming and general tv watching in a large open concept basement which is about 10,000 cf. Being such a large open area it will never be ideal for home theater and im ok with that. I bought 2 svs pb12nsd subs during their black friday sale. I knew from the beginning they wouldnt anywhere near enough for the room but i figured they would work now. They do sound really good but Ill probably buy new subs in a few months so i am doing my research now.

Im looking to buy two 18" subs. Running duel subs makes a pretty big difference in my room. My budget is around $3k-ish. So far im interested in:

Rythmik FV18 paper cone
PSA 1811
JTR 118HT
Any thoughts on any of these? Any others i should look at?

It seems that subs that go really low tend to not go quite as loud in the upper Hz so how low do i really need to worry about?

Thanks

Hi guys, hoping for some help on this one. I have a Klipsch Icon SB-1 that works great, except for a constant noise whenever it is powered on. Very high pitched, sounds like 15 kHz. Makes sound on both inputs, and also on mute. So I’m guessing it’s a power issue. Tried different outlets in the house, and with and without a surge protector.

Please help with any ideas, thanks!!!

Recently purchased demo unit from LionAV, comes with box, cord, remote and original box. Bag and WiFi stick are both missing. It is in perfect condition. Decided to go with the 820 instead as it seems to be a better fit for me.

PM me if interested.
