Looks like NuForce has kicked the BDP-83SE up a notch.

Well, the BDP-83 has already shipped, but I'll get the $299 upgrade price for having purchased before Nov. 9 -- even though I hadn't received it before then. Kind of the best of both worlds -- I'll get to try before I commit.

Yes, but I'm not exactly sure what they do. Maybe I missed the explanation, but it didn't seem very clear to me.

I'm making another stab at setting up my BDP-83 and 1070 and getting some weird results using the AIX calibration disk. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, or maybe there's a better way.

I started with Gonk's setup guide for the 970/1070 and tried bothe the HPF/LPF and Digital switch esttings. With HPF/LPF if I set the output to Analog I get only the left and right front channels. If I use Ext 7.1 I get all channels, but then the only choice I get for surround processing is Bypass. Setting the trim for individual speakers, starting with 0 for LF & RF, I have to boost the ctr to 5.0 and reduce the SL & SR to -2.5. Even when the Sub is set to +10 its reading on my SPL meter is way below the other speakers.

If I set the switch to Digital and the surround processing to Digital, I have to set the trim as follows, LF -2, Ctr +5, RF 0, SL & SR -2.5, and the sub is way low at +10.

Then, if I use the coax input and treat the disk as a CD, and surround processing set to Dolby PCLII-C, I have way to much sub.

I don't understand what's happening here.

This is the correct behavior. The DVD input, when set to analog, uses the left and right channels only. The 7.1 Direct input uses those channels plus the others. You must use the 7.1 input to get all of the channels, and at that point you are moving all of the processing outboard to the player. The 1070 cannot apply processing to the 7.1 analog input, which is why it indicates "bypass" all the time.

Where are you boosting the sub? 1070 or BDP-83?

All of the settings I made are on the BDP-83. Before I did any of this I balanced the 1070 using its calibration tone. If I were to change the settings on the 1070 to boost the sub for DVDs I would have way to much base for TV, radio and other sources. (Been there, done that).

Are you taking into account the inaccuracy of your meter at low frequencies? There was a correction table at SVS's site at one time for the Radio Shack meter

The coaxial input to the 1070 uses a digital output from the BDP-83 that is not influenced at all by the trim settings, which is why I asked. If you are getting too much bass from CD's via coaxial, it is not related to settings in the BDP-83.

Thanks, Gonk. I've looked at SVS's instructions for calibrating a sub. I probably won't get to it for a few days, but I'll report back after I try them.
