Hi All,

I just purchased a Onkyo TX-SR507 to accompany my 42" SurroundBAR. When I run Audyssey 2EQ calibration, the receiver sets the center and surround channels to none when the calibration...

Since my last post, I've spent a ton more time tweaking and playing with the SurroundBAR. Probably unsurprising to you all, the speaker is starting to grow on me.

I replaced my old Sony HTIB...

I wish that i was getting 180°. I know that I should be further from the back wall, but in my space, it is just not possible due to other furniture and the size of my couch.

FWIW, I did demo some...

Played more this weekend with different delay/distance settings on the AVR and just cannot get this thing to sing. I know my listening position is not optimal, but I feel that I should be getting at...

With my previous crap speakers from some old HTIB, there was a wider soundstage. There is no soundfield engaged on the AVR. No EQ either.

Yeah, I'll get some pics up this evening. Something just seems odd, and I can't quite figure out the problem. Here is a crude layout of the room: (Listening position is center of the green box)

I've read to boost the surrounds, but not the front stage levels. Also, for movies, I do boost the center channel.

A bit more time was spent with the surroundbar. The bar sounds great, but the soundstage feels so lacking, even with 2-channel audio... Any other hints or pro-tips out there to help? Thanks!

Unfortunately due to other furnature, etc. it just won't be possible. Bummer town.

Thanks for the prompt responses Jim. Unfortunately the couch cannot be moved that far from the wall, maybe 12" at most, and putting the TV on the 10ft. wall wont be possible either due to windows and...

o haha bad math. ~14ft wide, 10 ft. long. the tv is on the wide wall centered.

18 feet wide, 10 feet long.

LCD 8 ft. from listening position. Surroundbar sitting directly beneath LCD. LCD and surroundbar are centered in the room with a distance of 5ft. to each side wall. The listening position has a wall...

There are no obstructions, only a wall directly behind the listening position. I'm thinking that reflections are negatively influencing the surround sound effects. I'll keep playing with it.

The soundstage is definitely not reaching 180 degrees. It's probably more like 90... I am just quite aware that the sound is coming from the speaker. Maybe it's just the acoustics of my room. Perhaps...

Alright with some tweaking, the surroundbar is starting to sound better. I still feel the soundstage is a bit lacking. Any other pro-tips out there to unlock the true potential?

When setting your delay, with respect to what is the delay? The LR channels?

In thinking about this further, if my surroundbar is for example 20ft from my listening position, I should set the surround speaker distance setting on the receiver to ~5ft. Am I looking at this...

Thanks Jim. Unfortunately my receiver only displays in speaker distance not time delay. According to this site:...

A new proud owner of the 42" SurroundBAR and PSW10. I have a question though. There is no mention of speaker distance (delay) settings for the AVR in the manual. How should I adjust these? Any...

Hi All!

New to Polk with a Surroundbar and PSW10 on the way and had a quick question. Due to a small living room, the couch (listening position) is placed against the back wall. Will this affect...
