How to set up PBX system?

HDMi home cinema set up please rate my system?

  • I am by no means an audio-phile or a video-phile but i do appreciate a decent system. anyways i rececently upgraded my who living set up and decided to go the whole hog, so i have fully hd'd out.. so here are the components of my system.. the nerve centre of my whole system being the SONY STR-DG710 av amp /hdmi SONY BRAVIA 32" S series hdmi TV SONY PS3 which handles the blu rays beautifully and does an excellent job of upscaling my DVD's! best games aswell!! SKY HD digibox APPLE i-phone for music.. speakers... ELTAX active subwoofer SONY PASCAL front centre and front left and right speakers.. SONY IS-10 golfball rear surround speakers this is all bound together with el cheapo HDMi cables, at £5 a pop from argos! this is toooo easy!" single cable connection for crystal clear audio and video! why was this not invented sooner and in my opinion sounds and look better than everything i have ever seen before! so i dont think spending £30 on hd cable is necessary as i am happy with the current quality all my components are in a sleek new age black so it looks the bees knees.. in my ikea media stand, lol.. the front speakers provide excellent kick and vocals, and the rear golfballs do an excellent job of filling in the background noises such as explosions and crowd cheering when im playing pro evo on my ps3! etc.. as im not particularly a bass head, the budget eltax sub, does me fine, and im only using about 35% of its capacity.. i think this is an excellent system for anyone with a budget in mind, but doesnt nessecarily want comprimise.. at the moment im running a 5:1 set up, but i plan to add an extra rear centre, for the extra ambience, lol, but you'd be suprised how hard it is to find a single speaker. I also plan to upgrade my amplifier to one of the ES models in the near future in the hope that it will up-scale the non HD channels in my sky box.. and also provide better sound quality and video, and the extra HD ports will come in a treat as i will be able to plug in my HDMi laptop so i can run i-tunes though it with digital sound quality as HD audio is the absolute muts nutz.. i wanted an apple air-port, but as the connection isnt digital, i may try sony's own DMP digital media port for the i pod my original set up was quite dated, it was a 32" sony triniton, sony ta-ax2 slimline amp, standard sky box, matsui DVD player, and.... dell 2:1 speakers!! so you must understand how chuffed i am with my new set up.. lol any thoughts or constructive critique on what way to go in terms of upgrade set or additional components etc?? p.s/ i understand my set is mostly sony but this is because amittiedly not being an audio/video expert i know no better and their products have never failed me, ever in terms of reliability and build quality etc.. p.s sensible answers and critique only, thankyou, your feedback is appreciated..

  • Answer:

    Your system sounds kick ***! Your TV is to small though. On a scale of 1-10 I would give you a 6. If you had a 42" or 50" I would of given you a 9

Hmmm.....you're trying to look cool and rich with your set up but it's pretty basic. You show just how little you know by having an iphone/ipod for your music. Nothing with fruit on it is any good.

Sounds like a nice system, but there are some suggestions/improvements CALIBRATION: You should get the BluRay version of the Digital Video Essentials disk and a Radio Shack SPL meter. Go through the tutorials and calibrate the speakers and subwoofer, then use the video tutorials to calibrate the brightness/contrast/color of the TV. RECEIVER: Sony makes a lot of crappy receivers but the "ES" line is the ones that have respect in the audio community. Right now the Onkyo TX-SR series of receivers is packing lots of features into some very attractively priced receivers. (I own three Yamaha units but the Onkyo is getting some really good reviews.) SPEAKERS: You dont need audiophile grade speakers for a HT system, but cheaper speakers tend to show flaws with music. No speaker by Sony, Samsung, Phillips are any good for music. (It's just not their main business so they make them as cheaply as possible). Look for bookshelf speakers from REAL speaker companies if you want to use your system for music. REMOTE: Look into one of the computer programmable Harmony-Logitec remotes. They are very impressive and often give you one-button control of your entire system.
