    DD5.1 Question on Spiderman 3

    Hey gang,

    Last night I rented Spiderman 3. I actually enjoyed it and can't figure out why people say it stunk. Perhaps I had my expectations lowered. The only disappointing thing was that Peter and MJ didn't finally end up together. They left you hanging like after every Spiderman movie. I suppose that opens the door for a fourth film.

    Anyhow, I enjoyed the fact that it was in DD5.1 - cool listening to the spider webs being shot starting out in front of you and ending behind you. My question though is that it didn't seem like there was a lot of LFE content. I don't know if it was the movie or my system. My Denon is only a couple months old and I've not really had the chance to tweak the DD settings all that much. I did the automatic EQ on the receiver so perhaps things are balanced and the LFE channel was just lacking on this movie. Is that the case or is something goofed up on my end...

    It's nice to be getting more and more DD5.1 content.

    Perhaps because it did. Even my kids hated it. It was way too long, The plot was ridiculous (just think of the sand man).

      There was way too many variations in the plot. That is true. It was hard to know what the main focus was. Still, that said, it was entertaining and worth the rental...

      But back to my DD5.1 question.....

        I have the 8306 (same as you?). When you set up the type of speaker system you have to change a setting if your using powered subs or subs that arnt crossovers from a left or right speaker to whats called "small speaker". So if you set the speakers to small basically your telling the receiver they cant reproduce the lower frequencies and it has to pass them onto the subs.

        In the end I ended up changing my speakers to small (which they needed to be) and I upped the bass manually since I really like subs lol.

        You can find this info under advanced set up. But I suspect that you are using a powered sub plugged into the "sub" port on the receiver.

        Also the auto program tends to set the subs low anyways.. But my system is great now after I fixed the above^^ and watching transformers the other day the house was shaking.

          I have the AVR-2808CI. Yeah, I'm plugged into the powered sub port. I'll have to play with it some more I guess...

            Multiple Choice: Which plots did you like (spolier prevention attempted below)?

            1) Mr. Sandman
            2) Flubber from Outerspace
            3) Sins of the Father
            4) Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus (and need an orthodontist)?

            If they had stuck to one or two of these, it might have worked...

            I felt empty in all 4 categories after watching it.

              Could it be as simple as turning up the volume on the Subwoofer? I have the Denon AVR-3808CI and a Velodyne subwoofer. I seem to recall turning it up when I got the Denon.

                It might be and probably is. But I wanted to just do a sanity check and see if the movie just did not have a well developed LFE channel or if it was on my end. If everyone else came back and said the LFE was soft, then I'd be OK. But no one has said that so I think it's my end...

                  I just watched oceans 13 tonight and my LFE was fine, in fact it was better than the movie plot.. I should of known that after 12 it could only go down hill.

                    Boy this movie was a really bad choice to show off the VUDU to the family. Though we ended up making it somewhat entertaining by doing the MST3K thing to it

                    The fact that the movie was available in HD on my parents Time Warner VOD service and not on the VUDU didn't help things either...
