Ive got my head round the A5 Manual pretty much just one bit i`m not sure of.
D.D LFE adjustment in the set menu
It says .."this adjusts the output level of the LFE channel. If the LFE signals are mixed with signals of other channels and and they are directed to the same speakers, the ratio of the LFE signal level to the level of the other signals can be adjusted
I read this as ....if u are using your mains & centres for LFE instead of a sub (i`m using sub) u can adjust the level of the LFE. so as i`m using sub and and the Yammies sending all signals under 90hz to it i can leave this alone.
Is that right ..please translate if not..cheers
Aiwa 370 Rocks even more with a Yammie A5 !!!!!!

Yep, spot on. If you`ve got a subwoofer then this section (I assume you mean section 6 on page 31) doesn`t apply to you - it`s really for those peeps who haven`t got the subwoofer installed.
It`s sometimes worth fiddling around with the settings on page 30 as well. I`ve only got dinky JPW Mini Monitors all round, but I`ve still set Options 1-3 to large as they can handle low bass, and option 4 to both so that bass is kicked around each speaker.
I`ve not had any complaints from any speaker, so it`s definitely well worth experimenting !
What speakers did you go for in the end, Shaun ?
And are you wondering how you ever coped without your A5 ?!
Try `Heat` - it`ll blow your house down, matey !
heh heh i will when the missus goes away to her mums for a night ;-)
I got the Eltax silverstone 3 pack....cheap but sounds good to me at the mo and fitted the budget just right. The subs the paradigm PRD 10 which even on 30% shakes the room :-) using the video logic fronts for rears at the mo.
I love the A5 !!!!!!
My missus loves the A5 ..when i was using the digitheatre she used to complain cause i was playing it to loud to get any sound clarity but i can have this baby play at an acceptable level for her and still here clearly everything around me. ( we got a 2 year old daughter sleeping upstairs so its got to be low @ night) but she visits her mum every friday so BOOOM !!!!! :-)
I will experiment more with bass management just waiting for T2 DTS (should be here tommorrow)
Cheers Clayts me old mucker
A5 rocks the room!!!!!
Shaun
T2 DTS - enjoy!
Keep an ear out in the early stages for
the first battle scene
the scene where Arnie leaves the bar....unbelievable clarity e.g. leather trousers creaking (ahem!); dirt underfoot; sunglasses being opened;
the SHOTGUN!
Yee-har, PLEASE tell me it goes KA-BOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM accompanied by a THUD ?
Goddamit clayts....you mean I`m gonna have to load it up again (as if it`s ever out of the tray!) and "shake da room".
Hehehe - gimme a minute.....
aside - the missus is away so I`m "sorted for volume"....however...the last time she went away I set fire to the cooker/grill which I forgot I was "warming up" (er...for 40 minutes?) whilst reading my e-mail!!
Picture the scene this time as she returns tomorrow....puts the door key in and the four walls of the house fall out, cartoon-stylee, courtesy of DTS!
Update: Well it sounded like that when I first watched it...and the missus had to be scraped off the ceiling when the shotgun went off...but now I (er...and about 40 of my neighbours) just notice the clarity...shot/"cock"/cartridge on floor.
Mind you, since the first time I`ve had to rewire the bugger to route the fronts thru` her hi-fi.
I also think all my earlier playings were with the DSP/Enhanced "On".
Too many options....

So well be divorcing the neihbours tommorrow
Yammie A5 BOOMS !!!!!
shaun
Jimbo - I`ve e-mailed you.
Shaun/Yee-har : You just HAVE to experiment with the DSPs.
For loud/explosion addled films (eg Heat, Armageddon, etc) go for DGTL SPECTACLE - it is AWESOME !!!
