Quote: Originally posted by sfxjames Thank you John-Se The XB-1 must have a better amplifier. Anyhow, does the optical tos-link cord supplied really sound that bad compared to the Van Den Hul that you have. Would you recommend me really have a Van Den Hul tos-link. I can get a...

Quote: Originally posted by Music Fanatic Impressive. The T3 DVD doesn't even come out in region 1 until November 11th -- I'm surprised to hear it is already out in region 3. Yup it was released last oct 29 .in my country tha'ts why i'm confused why did my country the first one to...

Quote: Originally posted by Music Fanatic I'm sorry -- I gave incorrect information. I had left my receiver in DD-EX mode and in that mode it thinks everything 5.1 is DD-EX. But you know what Fanatic I have bought the t3 DVD region 3 that has DTS while Region 1 doesn't have DTS.

Quote: Originally posted by Music Fanatic Here is a partial of list of movies in DD-EX or DTS-ES. I noticed that my copy of Matrix Reloaded was in 6.1. Hey fanatic where did you bought you matrix reloaded I checked it at amazon.com and it only says dolby 5.1?

Quote: Originally posted by sfxjames One must concider using all three features inorder to find the best one. Your right sfxjames for me I tried DH1 and kinda liked it but after trying DH2 It's better but DH3 not for me in movies but DH3 for music is fine. It really depends on what...

Quote: Originally posted by sfxjames John-Se any recommendations for high quality optical cables I could buy? Monster cables sound like great brand to go with. Which one do you use? It would seem that DH2 also need some brain burn-in time inorder to get use to the invisible...

Quote: Originally posted by A. Dejkorn Hello, This is my first post (I've been lurking here for almost a year now). After reading this great review by John Medeiros, I went out and got the XB1. I chose the XB1 because of the color rather the bass. I've had them for a while but only had...

me too fanatic. what will be the difference then???

FINE FINE FINE I"M OUTNUMBERED Lets just see what others have to say about the DH forget about the wire thing!

yeah maybe

Quote: Originally posted by Music Fanatic Well, I must disagree vehemently with this. From an electrical engineering perspective, since the signal is transmitted digitally, replacement of the optical cable will only provide psychological improvements, not actually measurable improvements...

Quote: Originally posted by Music Fanatic If you are handy with a soldering gun, it should be straightforward to replace those LEDs with colored LEDs. I can replace them anytime cause it's one of my job here. So It's quite easy. but in my own oint of view replacing the bulbs would...

Quote: Originally posted by sfxjames John-se do you have a 32" TV or bigger? That's pretty long viewing distance. What DH setting do you use? I use DH2 for movie viewing DH1 is a bit flat. I have a Toshiba 36 inches HDTV. For the cables I use VAN DENHUL from the dvd going to...

If you just started use half the volume first then make it 3/4 until the film ends. or maybe you should listen to it first if you here distorting sounds lower a bit the volume till you don't hear any distortions then play it for 1 movie and 1 hard music so as to exercise the speaker movements.

Yes the toslink will surely help build more sound than distortions. U should use a high quality toslink cable. The factory included toslink in the pioneers are quite small for a good toslinks I have change my toslink to a better one. Almost double the thickness than the original and more...

just one thing i hate about the xb1 the indicators are all of same colors so you don't know which setting you are using. But still not a big deal for me.

yes bonkura maybe you need a break in period first before you max up the volume. but for in consideration maybe your dh needs a liitle adjustment maybe on the settings on the DH1, 2, or 3 or maybe u need to get a better toslink cable. And here's another tip Full Charge the Dh battery and run...

bonkura have u tried it on your HT speakers??? try to turn up the volume and see if it distorts.

SFXJAMES here it goes. There is absolutely no distortion or whatsoever in the DH even if it is at high volume on DVD, DVD's usually produces best sound and best music that tends to make you step up the volume but no distortion at all It's a masterpiece considering these DH are far the best...
