RE: Setting up in a Semi

Thanks for the advice westy!!

With regards to turning the surrounds around to slightly face the rear, how far do you turn them around? do you have to set them so they actually face the wall?

Cheers

Setting up in a Semi

Hi there,

Saturday was a good day I went TECHNOLOGY shopping I love shopping for stuff I don`t need. Anyway I brought a Kenwood KRF-V5050D AMP an ELTAX HT-2 Centre, an ELTAX ATOMIC A-8 woofer, and for the rears I brought Ariston- MSX07, I already had ELTAX MILLENIUM fronts, It all sounds fantastic but I need a little bit of setup info if someone could help me.
I am seated 10ft away from the fronts 9ft away from the centre and woofer and 4ft from either surround speaker.
I have my fronts set to normal so the bass goes to the woofer, my woofer is set to 8 on the scale and cranked to the top of frequency.

I have a couple of questions:-

1) What volume should all the speakers be set to? i currently have the centre +2 the fronts +2 the woofer +4 and the rears +4
it does sound ok but is it right??

2) My surround speakers are just above ear level and are in the rear corners of the room pointing towards my listening posistion which is
Slap bang in the middle of the settee, should these be pointing towards my head?? or towards each other?

3) My walls in the semi are PAPER THIN!!!!. I am constantly waiting for them to go out so i can CRANK it up LOL. When i watch a film
Night I turn everything down, it all sounds ok until something happens on screen and then BANG it all goes so loud!!, is there an
easy way to cut down the action noise? I have tried the NIGHT mode on dolby digital setting but this does not seem to help

P.S I am connected via OPTICAL cable.


I hope someone could help me,

Many Thanks

Lee.
