The big problems with most auto EQ are that it also tries to 'correct' above 500 Hz, messing up the natural response of the speakers. Especially Audyssey is guilty of ruining the balance between channels on top of that, with massive emphasis on the surround channels through Dynamic Volume enabled by default.

Genius.

You can calculate throw length for a given screen size.

You talk about screen size and use inches diagonal as the measure; you talk about projector brightness and use foot lamberts as the measure. We use feet high and wide as the measure for size and lumens as the light measure. Where the devil do you get foot lamberts?

Hey guys, great to see your happy faces back on KZbin!!! Totally agree with your family first motto and no need to apologise. Take care Enzo and Andrew and have a wonderful Christmas with your families. FYI, the theatre room is the bomb

I was just wondering the other day what was happening. Anytime you're back in Victoria, there's always a whiskey sitting there for you 🙂

Wow guys, what happened to the home theatre rooms you guys build?

Andrew, enjoy your semi-retirement. Enzo, just get well mate. No job is worth your health. I’ve been in Texas for a Year now, moved from Canberra. Happy to calibrate just for friends and family. Merry Christmas

It’s very kind of you to update everyone on KZbin but imo you don’t owe anyone anything. The fact that you took the time to let people know about your situation and get a glimpse into the challenges of life is testament to your character. Good luck with your respective endeavours!!

Thanks for the update guys! It's great to finally hear from you after 9 months! And Enzo, sorry about everything you've gone through, but glad that you are still with us and still have a good relationship with Andrew. As far as your comments about the HT business/industry, I can give you my perspective as a DIY guy... My dream would be to have $200k + at my disposal and hire HTE to design, build, and calibrate my dream home theater! But the reality is that I don't have those funds available, and probably never will. So what I had to do was take my very budget home theater and decide on 2-3 projects to work on per year, for upgrades and redesigns. Now almost 5 years and $26,000 later, I have a room that I'm very proud of! But I had to do literally every single thing myself, otherwise I would have had to spend twice as much, or had half the room, if I had to hire a professional company to do it. That's just the reality of it.

I was only thinking about you guys last week when i thought you haven't put out anything for months so what is going on. So this video is quite a nice surprise 🤗 Anyway the most important things in life are your family and your health and if any of these things suffer you should re-evaluate things and it looks like you guys did so and took your time to make good decisions for yourselves ! i can only say if this works for you then great 💪 i love the channel and i hope we will see a some videos in the future but most of all i hope you guys take care of yourselves and your loved ones. I will keep on supporting you and all the best with your other ventures 👊

Thanks for all the support over the years. Good luck to you both. I wish you all the best.

Love you guys and I’ve always appreciated your honesty and openness - that’s why I reached out to you to pimp my cinema. Health is no1 for sure so well done both of you for recognising that and acting on it, I’m sure your businesses will be blessed for taking that action. And thanks Andrew for the help Monday night - switched cables and touch wood no problem so far 🎉 🏎️🏎️ 📽️

Really gonna miss Andrew being an active, full time member of the HTE team. Your channel is such a great source of home theater information and expertise. Completely respect Andrew’s decision to focus on the truly important things (family and health). This was, clearly a difficult and emotional decision for you both. Best wishes to you both and we’ll all miss the regular KZbin video content.

So I was just thinking about HTE, and couldn't remember the last time I saw a new video from you, but no way in hell was I expecting it to have been 9 months since your last upload! Are you guys still alive, and/or still in business?

How does MotionAI differ from the "regular" Motion Processing in the MadVR (Core) in regards to Sports (no director's intent) ?

I did see it on an actual IMAX in the greater Toronto area. The image and sound were hugely impactful, but as in all true IMAX theatres, the stadium seating was absolutely atrocious; especially for 3 hours. If you want to see Oppenheimer in actual IMAX size and aspect ratio at home, it would be theoretically possible on an Apple Vision Pro or Meta Quest 3, BUT the audio will be simulated surround (aka Spatial Audio) with weak bass at best.

Well It's Looks Like Another Plain Jane “Home Theater” Builds.

How to treat ?

the french guy really know what he is doing! look good !

He said in the video that Dynablack feature would have been implemented in the Balder/Loki etc models as well… but they never did that.

Hello

I have a Samsung neo qled. [qn85d 85’’]. I find the picture quality best when I put it in 4K HDR10+ with match content and frame rate on. and chroma in 4:2:2. I find it the best on my tv cause Samsung doesn’t support Dolby vision yet, I have to put it in 4K HDR10+. I guess the settings differ from TV to TV. For ex:- UHD TVs are best when set to 4K SDR. All in all really pleased with my Apple TV 4K purchase. It’s a beast!!

Thank you!

My apple tv was looping from clear picture to black screen to gray snow. Something to do with the CSE setting which does a hand shake to change content settings. I was told to turn this off on my LG TV and the problem continued. I was then told to turn off match frame rate and dynamic range on the apple and still nothing. Understand the tv after switching from one APP to another started showing clear picture, blink black screen, blink gray snow and back to clear picture. i then disconnected my apple tv from my soundbar directly into my tv and the issue stopped, WTF.

How to open Dolby function

Excellent concise to the point video. Very helpful indeed

I intend to use it as a music streamer, what's your take?

Hello! I just bought the apple tv 4k. It is connected to an older Sony LED 48" display from 2012-2013. I do not see a Chroma option in mine but the rest I have set as per your advice, i.e. 1080p SDR(as it is an older 1080p panel) followed by HDMI to YCbCr and finally Match Range and Frame rate. I would like to know if I should fruther Calibrate with the front facing camera to TV method or leave it as is. I mainly use the Apple TV for KZbin, Amazon Prime Video and Netflix. Thank you for your time : )

I have a Samsung 65 8k. Do I change anything in its settings

But what about when you're watching regular cable tv and you're channel surfing, won't these settings drive you nuts waiting for the handshake to finish on each and every channel you go through basically? Think (KZbinTV) on AppleTV.

great insight on the trinnov alt. in speaker amplification options, is this where the active crossover is? can it go to multiple amps from a channel, say for example bi-amp, high frequency and low-mid frequency? can it work with all full range frequency output channels (LCR, beds & height speakers)? excluding subwoofers/LFE, as we all know LFE only processes and produces frequency up to 80hz, as per THX guidelines.

Sir plz explain how much longer screen freya can project May 600 inch wide or maximum 300 inch wide

Hi you've been posting some great content which i keep watching , I’ve got the marantz AV- 7706 Processor i want to hook-up the new apple tv 4k to my processor, want to know if I'll be able to stream 4k dolby atmos content from Netflix, Prime , Disney etc. to my processor which is hooked up to my LG G3-77 inch TV.

I am about to buy a Samsung S90C 65"( hope to get a 2nd gen panel else it go back for a other one somewhere else, u can do that in the EU) and a Apple TV device. Only downside in my book compared to a C3 is that there is no Dolby Vision support on the Samsung S90C From my understanding ( source: reddit and HDfury) you can circumvent this issue by playing your content from a Apple TV device for example and put an HDFury Arcana 2 between the Apple TV and the Samsung S90C. This way you can still get Dolby Vision on the S90C. How does Dolby Vision look on a Samsung QD-OLED compared to a Samsung QD-OLED without this feature? Just as nice? nicer? A little less good but better then no Dolby Vision at all?

really good info guys, thanks!

Magnificent explanation. Thank you!

What is your view on correction EQs like SoundID Sonarworks for headphones? Should they be used with caution because they might affect phase and transients, or is the difference on headphones not significant enough to cause disadvantages?

so nice Home Theater dedicate room with lot of money spend but ruin by lack of knowledge

No videos for 4 months! Come on guys! I love watching the builds come together :)

I’ve always been an advocate of the futility of automated room EQ. It’s nice to hear the thoughts of a like minded person. Often with hi-fi, I believe costly solutions are created to solve minor issues. For every action, there are consequences. You have to weigh up whether the benefits of your actions outweigh the caveats. If I had the time, money and resources, I’d like to take 2 identical rooms. Have a “,professional acoustician”?? treat ome room and leave the other room untreated. Apply automated room EQ to both rooms using multiple solutions, then compare the graphs.

Great vid! One Question I have, what is the best placement for a dolby atmos enabled soundbar (e.g. HK Citation 1100)?

@HomeTheatreEngineering --- So is there an audio processor that's for home theater surround sound that's the equivalent of this or are all the best audio processors for Hi-Fi stereo?

Don't think they are as good as Micro LED Walls

You’re the best! Agreed on this.

Lyngdorf Room Perfect is excellent. It is also licensed to MCINTOSH

Can you help me ?

Dude this video is beast. I can’t wait to calibrate my projector
