Anything? Todd? Bueller?
 
It's been months.
 
Is this bug being worked on? Are we ever going to see an update to the 2.00 firmware that fixes this issue?

Correct. You are bypassing all DSP processing in the Lexicon and both of those are functions of the DSP.

Thanks,

Shawn

This question pertains to Shawn Fogg and the analog bypass mod.

When I use the analog bypass I assume that the a/v sync delay and the sub-peak limiter on the mc-1 are no longer useable,correct?

Excellent info, it's almost as though you helped build the thing. Thank you Simon. ;-) ]]> Mon, 08 Mar 2010 01:44:42 +0000 http://www.smr-forums.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1416&PID=8773#8773 Lexicon Processors & Receivers : LFE Mix http://www.smr-forums.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1416&PID=8772#8772 Author: cratchet

Thomas,
The LFE Mix parameter is a gain control on the LFE input channel(input to the bass management). So if you are re-directing the LFE out to the Subs, then adjusting this control will also adjust the amount of LFE going out the subs.(or any other speaker the LFE is routed to)

This control is also upstream of the sub limiters. If you have the limiters ON, by raising LFE Mix value you may cause the limiters to engage sooner.]]> Sun, 07 Mar 2010 19:19:48 +0000 http://www.smr-forums.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1416&PID=8772#8772 Lexicon Processors & Receivers : LFE Mix http://www.smr-forums.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1416&PID=8771#8771 Author: Sanjay Durani

Whether you're sending LFE channel content to one or more sub(s) OR sending it to the speakers (no subs), the LFE Mix parameter attenuates the amount of LFE channel content.
 
By comparison, the LFE Output parameter is active only when you have your system configured with a dedicated LFE subwoofer, and it can attenuate or boost the output (the LFE Mix parameter only attenuates).
Another way to ask, is there anyway to get my L/R subs to help with LFE when watching movies.
Not when you've got the LFE content going to it's own dedicated subwoofer. If you did not have a 3rd sub connected, then the LFE channel would be re-routed to your L/R subs.  
 
Again, if you want to hear more bass, then just turn up the bass. Nothing more complicated than that.
 
Sanjay

Thanks for responding Sanjay, I'm still a little confused.  A quote from the manual says:
 
"LFE Mix adjusts the level of the LFE channel that is sent to the SUBWOOFER L/R outputs."
 
I could be wrong but I think what you are responding to is if I proposed increasing/decreasing the LFE Output and not LFE Mix.
 
Another way to ask, is there anyway to get my L/R subs to help with LFE when watching movies.  Surely output from 3 subs will be better than 1 for movies.
 
Thanks

No, it is simply reducing the level of the discrete .1/LFE channel by 10dB.
 
If you want more bass slam, try using the tone controls (Menu -> Audio Control -> Bass). This way, you increase the bass without changing the sub/sat splice.

Using just one audio path at a time is certainly the way to go, even if they were in sync all the different loudspeakers would cause comb filtering and response issues.

That said, as the echo indicates that the two are out of sync, if you did just listen to the audio system, the lipsync wouldn't be correct.

As you don't have any adjustable delay, you're a bit stuck without buying additional equipment. Maybe you can use the opportunity to get a receiver of some sort.]]> Sun, 07 Mar 2010 11:18:58 +0000 http://www.smr-forums.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1414&PID=8768#8768
