Thanks Bro Anthem, but no dancing shoes on yet. I am posting this in the humor section, hoping somebody can laugh:
SHOWING MY CHICKEN
Over here in Thailand, if you make a fool of yourself in front of folks, it is called roughly "you really showed your chicken".
My buddy from the States that lives over here roughly half the year, just came up to visit. He got here a day and a half before I did.
Well, I got to show off my new home theater/audio system don't I? At least I have to try to entertain him with music and movies.
I put him in the sweet spot seat, MY SEAT. And I sat over to the side.
I fire it up and put on a favorite of his, Roy Orbison and friends Blu-ray concert, you know it. Black and white and wonderful!!!!!
I haven't been home for 3 weeks, have not touched anything for 3 weeks, but it definitely did NOT sound right. The sound was not balanced AT ALL. I am not in my seat, but this is not right. I looked all over and found that the new (just before I left) 12V trigger had not triggered the amp to power on for the center channel. Finally got that on, and that helped but not too much.
Kept looking and found my right Triton 2 was not playing. So now I am trouble shooting, wiggling wires, checking connections, trying everything. Finally after bringing in a Triton 3 and it did not play either, I knew it had to be serious, but thank God, NOT my beloved Tritons. Turned out my loaner amp, right mono block was lighting up but NOT playing at all. Still don't know what is wrong there.
So, now I had everything working right? Watched a movie that he had wanted to see, Battleship. But I noticed a serious lack of surround support to the sound. But finished the movie and started trouble shooting again, when fixing the right T2, the left and right surround cables fell out of my surround processor, BOTH surrounds were not playing.
We finally watched Man of Steel with all channels operating.
This and breaks for meals took roughly 6 hours to get playing right again.
Doggone!!!!
I hope you had a better day.
God Bless, Wayne
God bless the child that's got his own.
