Performed the test of the sound system today with the microphone that listens to output from the speakers and adjusts them according to prestablished program.\u00a0 It sounds out whistles, clicks, rolling thunder, static and a loud rush of static.\u00a0 Then it tells you if things are optimal.\u00a0 First problem:\u00a0 I’d crossed one set of speaker wires, the smooth to the positive instead of the ridged.\u00a0 Checked all twenty connections, on speakers and on the receiver, found one set wrong and fixed it.\u00a0 Second problem:\u00a0 difference in volume excessive.\u00a0 No idea what that meant, but one of the solutions was to move speakers around.\u00a0 I did that and the next time through, pass number 3, No Errors.\u00a0 This ends the first phase of the new video and sound system.\u00a0 All of it is in place.\u00a0 All of it works as intended.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Next phase will be optimization of various aspects of the receiver, the DVD player and the TV.\u00a0 This will take place over time and really never ends.\u00a0 Fun.\u00a0 A hobby in itself.<\/p>\n
Watched an interesting Discovery channel program tonight on the\u00a0Great Wall.\u00a0 It presented the Great Wall as largely a product of one general in the early Ming Dynasty.\u00a0 While the existing wall traces much of its current form to that era, wall building as a defensive strategy began much earlier, in the Spring and Autumn Period of the Eastern Chou dynasty.\u00a0\u00a0 Various pieces of walls got built at many stages in Chinese history.\u00a0 The reason the Ming Dynasty effort was so vast lies in their resting power away from the Yuan Dynasty.\u00a0 During the Yuan Dynasty China became a part of the Mongol Empire, ruled by Kublai Khan first.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
