Satallite receiver left/right RCA output
Ultra-Stereo JSX-1000A processor

Is there a way to conncet the left/right outs from the receiver through the processor to use all the channels, or do you have to have a receiver to decode the signal into the separate channels?

A Possible connection could be:

Satallite receiver left/right out to
Pro-Logic receiver, speaker outputs to
Aux inputs on U*S processor (L,C,R,S)

Any help would be great.

Thanks.

If it's Pro-Logic, you need an external Pro-Logic decoder. If it's not encoded, then all you're gonna get is left/right anyway unless you "synthesize" faux surround with the external decoder. If it's theatrical SR, I suppose you could feed it into the projector-2 input, but you risk damaging your preamp (or more) with the line-level signal.

Which brings another point, speaker-out to aux-in is a bad idea. Too much power coming into the processor when it's expecting a line-level signal. Much better if the decoder has line-level outputs.

I won't even mention that this is another reason why I think this whole concept is stupid. Oops, I guess I just mentioned it.

We are using a DSP-60. He just "threw over" a couple pairs of wires for L-R stereo. We're just hooking it up to the NonSync.

I'll give the matrix inputs a shot. It sounds like it should work. I wasn't sure if my processor would use all the channels from left/right inputs. I'll let you know how it goes.

Thanks.

How was your incomming signal? The one we got was pretty crummy. It was WAY top-heavy! When we listened to the "bumper music" before hand we thought the processor was out of EQ. I broke out the "hardware" and re-EQ'ed the house. It was still pretty crummy.

Since it was a DSP-60 processor, I saved the original settings and my new EQ settings. I left the computer hooked up during the show so we could make some adjustments on the fly. It was STILL crappy so we tweeked it up a little. (knocked down the 5K + 3.5K bands and upped the 50 + 64 bands.) It still wasn't great but it was acceptable under the circumstances.

Did they end up using a consumer-quality "Dish Network" system instead of a larger commercial dish? Was it an HD feed, or just standard definition? What video projectors were used?

John, they installed consumer dishes, and I believe just used standard definition feed.

Randy, I really didn't have a problem with the eq of the sound. It was WAY too low. We had our processor on 10 and still was a hair soft. We leveled our channels a few days prior to the show, and I think it seemed to help. We watched Eric Clapton and Sting concert DVD's through the system before the show to make sure it was set up properly, and the sound was really good. The satallite signal was just not hot enough.
