Living Room with in-wall 7.1.4 and PJ

So, even with all the concerns over room surface reflections and amp power. Sound has been awesome, just watched bladerunner 4k, loved it.
 
Ofcourse it would be awesome. Yes carpet and other sound treatment would have made it better but it wasn't going to be BAD in the first place.

Lots of people forget this. :)

So many people on the web seem to forget this as they get lost chasing that extra 5% to make things perfect which in reality they never quite are. This setup was always going to look and sound awesome yes you can improve it but then you can always make things better!
 
Cheers Guys,

I've had so many stresses and sleepless nights over the whole building and extension in general.

When we were first in the room, when it was empty, and I could hear the echo - I had some dread.. like maybe this is all going to suck.

I feel so much relief now, had a long period of being low - and I've been so productive in the last week, very happy.

Got a large rug to go in the Virtual Reality/PC area of the room coming this week :)

Been playing destiny 2 cut scenes in 2.35 and game in 16:9.

With video processor box can switch between them instantly but still shame game isn't in 2.35:1

Is the order 1886 good?

Meh it's OK, nice technical showcase and the only game in scope I had so I played it all the way through :p. Haven't read the thread, are you zooming or lensing to scope? Won't your processor be losing a lot of resolution when switching to 16:9? Would be better to zoom back to 16:9 though not instant of course.

Yes I came to this realisation during calibration when it was being setup this way. It was noticeably less sharp having been playing ps4 zoomed out before.. thinking about it still.

I can't tell exactly from the pics, but it's a JVC of some description (great choice ;)) so you should be able to zoom/shift electronically? On some models you can set up profiles for these settings so you'd have a 16:9 profile and a 2.35:1 profile (and a 1.85:1 and 2.40:1 profile if you want to go full nerd). I think some newer models can actually do content detection and change profiles accordingly aswell (or maybe this is only Panasonics?).

Be careful when setting up the profiles because all it does is record your zoom/shifting like a macro. So if you take a million steps to get it just right back and forth it will reproduce all that jiggery :p. At least this is how it used to be, I've not used a current model but had an X3.
 
Ok scrolled back and saw it's a 9500! Wow nice kit. Anyway the bit your interested in is Page 24 in the manual, and it looks like it's no longer macro driven so you should have fairly quick transitions between the lens profiles. I can't see anything in there about content detection so maybe that's still Panasonic only?

Yes you can save profiles and have it go between the two, and it zooms in/out shifts around - it doesn't seem too logical so possibly was recalling the steps I took :) I did have 16:9 and 2.35:1 profiles - but the video processor does away with that need, other than this resolution thing.

Calibration continues tomorrow, so will think on that.

Oh ok, cool. The video processor actually can handle auto-switching - but yes I think i'll want to have this setup with the JVC adjusting lens each time.
