ok.. first question in my set up procedure. when calibrating, i will put the meter in the exact position where my ears will be.. i got that.. my question is, will i need to face the meter in the direction of the speakers? in other words, when i am calibrating the surrounds(QS8's), which are 3ft above, a little behind and 10ft to the sides of the listening position, will i need to face the meter straight toward the TV, or to the side facing the speakers? and i remember reading a post saying to listen to the speakers a few days, or weeks before calibrating, is that true?? i thought the whole 'break-in' theory was pretty much a crock of $hit??
also, to hook up the dvd/cd to play sacd's, i will need:
1 s-video cable(not using component)
1 digital cable(for dolby & dts)
and 5 RCA analog cables??
is this correct??
also, i will be running from the vcr to the receiver with rca cables, and from the receiver to the TV with an s-video.. does anyone with an ONKYO 701 know if the whole 'up conversion' features will take the signal in from the rca(VCR) and allow it to flow thru the s-video to the tv?
i guess this is a 3 part question..any help would be appreciated.
