In Reply to: Re: What was your SH500 setup? posted by Estes on December 31, 2001 at 12:24:25:
Estes,I must say the Radio Shack SPL meter for $39 is absolutely essential(indispensable) for proper speaker 5.1 setup.
Without it there is no hope you will get any kind of proper sound from a 5.1 speaker system.
You should also pick up one of the following calibration DVDs to use with the SPL meter:
1) Video Essentials DVD
2) AVIA DVDOnly then can you properly adjust the acoustic soundscape of DD/DTS 5.1 to your specfic speakers, room, and listening position.
Without these tools there are just too many variables you won't be able to get correctly synchronized just by ear.
Your center channel may or may not be well matched to your stereo pair, but you will never know until it gets correctly calibrated.
You can also turn the center speaker OFF in the speaker setup menu for SH500 by the way (and you can turn it ON/OFF for individual movies if you want).
Good luck and let me know how it goes.bstan
