Gene, thank you so much for taking the time to post this. I am not even a rank beginner audiophile but I know what I like when I hear it and I've never understood how to balance my surround system (installed in 2001) without someone else being paid to do it. That all completely changed today when I watched your video, made the suggested changes and I was simply blown away that your suggestions immediately brought back the beautiful sound environment I had enjoyed in the past before numerous recent changes. I have the following in my system and you just saved me $150 from having someone come out to do the balancing and it didn’t hurt at all that I DID have an SPL meter, I’d just forgotten!

HI Gene: I just bought a Denon AVR X3600H; and the MENU looks a lot different...you think you can make an updated new Denon MENU walkthrough? Please! I’m still learning and I thank you for your help thus far!
Fantastic video, and the audio quality was very clear! These instructional videos are what the community require to ensure everyone knows how to do the basics and get them right!

Excellent tutorial with common sense instructions. I am building a new home and designing a home theater with several zones. Like most of your videos, this provides very important insight and technical aspects that are never articulated in the owner’s manual. Thanks for another round of audio education.
You are awesome! I've had a denon receiver for a few years and could never figure out how to set it up. I don't like the way it sounds and I cannot put my speakers the distance that it requires of me when I use the auto set up. I have looked at a lot of videos and couldn't find anything. I might be coming back if I run into any issues. Thanks again!
I’m unable to get the subwoofer to produce any sound in Zone 3 (only two front speakers and a subwoofer) - it works in Zone 1 when watching dvd but doesn’t produce bass when playing analog records - not sure if the tutorial in this video applies to all zones or only Zone 1 - any advice or guidance much appreciated...
On a Pioneer VSX1130 and need to know how to set the Receiver to output the Bass to the bass speaker. and not the speakers, main, surround front left center etc.
5:10-5:27 My brain... so many questions, I can't even start. What's the best way to go from Denon AVR-3806, to Yamaha YST-SW160 subwoofer? A) 6ft speaker wire to sub's speaker terminals "in", then 6ft "out" to speakers? (would AVR have to put out more power, like would it bypass the sub's amp??) OR B) The AVR's sw pre out to either L or R "input 2" on the sub, and then long 12ft speaker wire from AVR to the front speakers? OR C) Same as "A," but add a subwoofer cable (or RCA if there's no difference), but keep the speakers running from the speaker out terminals on the sub... would that help the signal not degrade as much?
Hello, how do you Connecticut the receiver to the screen? I've used an HDMI cable connected to the Monitor out output but nothing happend. What els is it to be done? I habe a Denon AVC-A1XV
I have large mains with tons of lowend. I also have plenty of power on tap. I set my mains to small X-over at 40Hz and LPF of LFE at 120Hz. I also use a PEQ, 20Hz and 80HZ being the worst offenders. I have gotten so much B.S. over this, but I have told everyone that 80Hz is not for every setup and why would I kneecap my towers. I have tried it X-over many ways and also measured the room about 1000 times. I stand by my settings. Long story short your video made me feel vindicated. Great video!
hi i own an old denon 3313 ci , i cant seem to figure out how to go manual on setting the graphic eq. at times the audesy settings i dont like all the tonal changes it does . help
Hello I have a question about the volume setting, and how to adjust if the output is louder because it's set a certain height or is lower because the volume settings is set to a lower output if that makes sense. Basically I feel like I have to turn it up to - 7.0 dB before it's to the volume I want to hear. Please help. Thanks
I have a question to ask you how do I calibrate my speakers properly if I don't have a auddessy mic it didn't come with the receiver and my front stage I am running cerwin vega and I don't know how to calibration for my speakers please let me know what I can do and I'm also running 4 power amplifiers and hooked up to the pre out puts and I just need to know what I can do
I have the Bose am10’s, so whilst they have a sub as they are satalite cubes, it’s not really a sub that is plugged into the sub output of the amp, so in that case should I have sub turned off? If so by default the fronts turn to large.
Any chance we could get some info on: #what sound level did you run the test tone at? #input channel gain?(on denon) #any chance for an update on Dolby atmos enabled (bouncy house speakers) crossover (have not been able to find a real answer / have them on 150hz now)
I'm thinking this may be old and I have a question... Not sure you will answer. In the set-up menu under volume there is something called scale, limit, power on menu and mute level. How would I set those? Thank you.
My sub is a REL T1 set up as REL says with main speakers set to large and all surrounds set to small. Speaker level and LFE channels connected to the sub from my Denon. I've got the crossover setting in my Denon to 80Hz. To my ears, I've got the REL crossover and Hi-Lo (Volume) settings where they should be to match up well with my main speakers. Everything sounds great with music and BluRay. My problem comes up when TV commercials come on and I then get a ton of extremely irritating loud boomy bass. Any ideas what to do to eliminate this? Thanks
Is there any application that you would hookup a single sub by using the high level speaker inputs on the sub so the full freq receiver output would output to both front tower speakers along with the subwoofer?
So, I setup my Marantz receiver using this video. I have Martin Logan speakers which are 4ohm speakers. My question is my Marantz receiver is rated 4-16ohm. Do I set the receiver impedance to 4ohm to match my speakers, or do I change it to another impedance setting 6ohm, 8ohm etc...
Hello how to set the ohms I wish to make 4 ohms on my front speakers for stereo and maybe for everything if it's better but only the front can do 4 ohms I can't find the setting and it's confusing really this is my first av receiver I swapped it with the old 5.1 Dolby digital so I'm behind on these things that are new to me
Gene I ran audyssey on my marantz sr6013 . It turned my klipsch 450 c and klipsch 280fa Towers to large . Should I switch them to small. I do have two 15'' subwoofers also ? plus doesn't the marantz have were I can save like a separate file and the adjustment fir 2 ch stereo ?!
Can I ask , u set front tower speakers to 250hz will effect anything or the watts over or change it to 120hz and what about need to set how many db ? Kindly give some idea ? Tq
I have a blu-ray player as the source playing CD. It is connected to AVR Pioneer vsx-33 via HDMI.

I've been trying to hook up my phono ( audio technica AT lp60 usb) to my Denon avr 1613. No sound, line is on the phone, phono plugged in to cbl/sat, still no sound. Can anyone help?
How does the newest Denon without Pro logic handle a 2 channel source.Do you get some kind of equivalent pro logic for listening to normal tv in stereo?Would be much obliged for this information if you have time.Your small logo which looks like a compass and a square looks ominous..Possibly not..Very good explanation of manual setup..
So it doesn't matter the speakers specification like my center speaker says fr: 90hz-40khz, and my Onkyo calibrated it with a crossover of 50hz... Should I change it to 90 or above ? It is a JBL Arena 125c... Thanks in advance
Great video. I have a Yamaha rx -v675 receiver 7.2. Nuance powered front speakers/built in subs and amps. Nuance center and rears. My problem is that I have no idea what most of this new technology does and settings that I don’t understand. My old Sony receiver from 2006 used to absolutely crank my speakers. This new receiver doesn’t seem to be giving me the same volume of sound. I’m pretty sure I do not have the receiver set up properly in the settings. If you are able to help me set this up properly I would really appreciate it. I’m setting it up manually.
eh, imo, the best setup is whatever sounds best to your ears. I use that method after setting virtually every option in nearly every combination of subtle to extreme to determine what sounds best. FYI, it's never what the mic/speaker setup determines the best settings are, , my manual setups tweaked to what I think sounds best rules the day every time....Takes a while , but if fun if you're into tinkering lol.
Hi, I have a Denon avr-s720w that has two outputs for subwoofer, I have one of them connected to the LFE input of the subwoofer, is a Martin Logan Dynamo 600x, I would like to know if I need to connect the other output to the other input of the subwoofer also. I’m guessing the two outputs on the receiver are for dual subwoofer connection but I’m not sure. Please help, thank you and thanks for the great channel.
The receiver has 2 sub outputs for the use of 2 subs. Each receiver sub output would connect to LFE in each sub. That's it, just one connection into the sub !!!
My fronts are Polk RTI 8's , should they be set to small or large? The rest of my setup includes Polk CSI3 center , Def tech pro monitor 800's for my rears and 4 Polk psw505's for subs all running on a denon 510bt.
Hi, My Pioneer AVR VSX-819H-K supports 7.1 but It says to the manual that I need a seperate Amplifier in order for me to activate the surround back channels? Why? And what kind of amplifier should I hook up? Wattage? Thanks
/I have The denon s950h and it goes into thermal prot. mode with volume set to 50 after several minutes. Im wondering if my channel levels are too high. Fronts and surrounds are set to small with crossovers set from 90 to 100. LFE+main. Sub @ 150hz. Ive reset to factory levels which is zeros. Is there a good starting point as to what I should set my levels at so the amp wont get so hot?? Thanks!
I troubleshooted a TCL-Roku TV with a Sony receiver. I could only get a stereo sound from the left right speakers. However the AM/FM radio 5.1 speakers all worked. Also I could not get it to run the calibration, the TCL could not find a signal from the Sony, but the Sony seemed to connect to the TCL. But the Sony's AM/FM tuner popped up on the TCL's screen. I'm stumped.
hi. i just bought the denon avr-s950h receiver 7.2 channel 2019. i bought it new from best buy. when turning the receiver on or off, it sounds loud like the amp has 1,500 watts, or a loud click. works fine. ever heard this from denon or others. should i be worried if this was you. $500 door stop.
My Denon clicks when turning off. Absolutely fine. Sounds like a loud microswitch. You can also set volume level at turn on in the settings so it will be at 'x' level ready to go when switched on.
Hi Gene, I have Denon AVR X3100W. I would like to adjust the Graphic EQ for music. What is the best / Recommended settings? Please let me know in values..
Audioholics, could you please do a for dummies video on Room Measurement, MiniDSP setup and something like DIRAC live set setup There are a stack of people that would really benefit from these sort of instructional videos
I have Anthem receiver the ARC software result on SVS sb 2000 are different to the bass management on the receiver. the software set at 180hz . but on Bass management on the menu the Subwoofer LPF for LFE is set at 120hz. all the speakers have the same result from software and from bass management only the sub are different.
This is the question I was looking for and there's no answer. I suppose it has to be at reference level and then it shouldn't matter if you crank up or down the volume level.
Great video, Gene. I enjoyed the straightforward approach sans the clowning around with Hugo. Any thoughts on doing a subwoofer calibration video using REW?
I have a Onkyo TX-NR646 AV receiver and a Polk Audio PSW-450 sub. If i set the crossover frequency to 120 hz on the receiver, what do i need to set the dials with crossover and bass level on the back of the sub to? Should i set the dial on the back of the sub to 120hz or something else?
When I use the audyssey microphone on my denon avr 2113 and my Q acoustics 2000 cinema speakers it turns every channel down, so every channel will be something like -12 or -8.2 why is that?
hi..I dont have a fancy display like that to set up my audio Martinez 6.1 speakers....theres not even HDMI on mine...had to connect a bunch of 3.5 pc jack to 2 female ends to input the sound to the input ports for the speakers to output....theres no youube video anywhere to show how to connect this type of Matrinez amplifier ya!
what I do not understand is when you manually set up the system, why does it matter what distances you set since you are going to adjust levels anyway? Also when leveling each speaker, based on what reference volume are you setting these speakers? Do I just set the volume to 50 percent and level each speaker to 75db based on that 50 percent or I set my volume to 10 percent and add more db when leveling or it does not matter what my reference volume is? Thus is off topic, but another interesting thing I found out about video processing from PC to AVR to TV is that you TV, acting as an extension of your PC screen should be set to match frame rate and resolution of a source video, otherwise it will be choppy and lip sync would not match. I am so excited and frustrated at the same time because I have just picked up Klipsch 5.1.2 along with Bravia A95K with Marantz Cinema 50 and want everything to work nicely.
You may have figured some of this out by now but after auddessey do the calibration the receiver and not auddessey set's the distance and the crossovers based on the mic positions. Auddessey set's the volume levels and do the e-que based on the mic positions and room modes but the av receiver,not auddessey, determines the crossovers and that's why it's recommend to manually adjust some of settings after auddessey. Also when you're level matching you have to set the master volume to 0.0db and then you go into the test tones and level match up to 75db with an SPL meter. I have a marantz av receiver with Klipsch speakers and also in the learning process. But if you go to u-tube and look up youthman,he goes into full details about master volume, level matching, crossovers, auddessey. I think you'll get some good information there.

I learned so much from this, I really appreciate this! Thank you!
how do you adjust the manual EQ. and how do you find the settings for the different speakers.
Excellent tutorial with common sense instructions. I am building a new home and designing a home theater with several zones. Like most of your videos, this provides very important insight and technical aspects that are never articulated in the owner’s manual. Thanks for another round of audio education.

On a Pioneer VSX1130 and need to know how to set the Receiver to output the Bass to the bass speaker. and not the speakers, main, surround front left center etc.
5:10-5:27 My brain... so many questions, I can't even start.
What's the best way to go from Denon AVR-3806, to Yamaha YST-SW160 subwoofer?
A) 6ft speaker wire to sub's speaker terminals "in", then 6ft "out" to speakers? (would AVR have to put out more power, like would it bypass the sub's amp??)
OR B) The AVR's sw pre out to either L or R "input 2" on the sub, and then long 12ft speaker wire from AVR to the front speakers?
OR C) Same as "A," but add a subwoofer cable (or RCA if there's no difference), but keep the speakers running from the speaker out terminals on the sub... would that help the signal not degrade as much?
Hello, how do you Connecticut the receiver to the screen? I've used an HDMI cable connected to the Monitor out output but nothing happend. What els is it to be done? I habe a Denon AVC-A1XV
I have large mains with tons of lowend. I also have plenty of power on tap. I set my mains to small X-over at 40Hz and LPF of LFE at 120Hz. I also use a PEQ, 20Hz and 80HZ being the worst offenders. I have gotten so much B.S. over this, but I have told everyone that 80Hz is not for every setup and why would I kneecap my towers. I have tried it X-over many ways and also measured the room about 1000 times. I stand by my settings. Long story short your video made me feel vindicated. Great video!
My Sony won’t show volume in decibels. What should I set my volume at from 0. To use my SPL for level check. Thanks
This is more like it! Hands on real time tutorial. The best way to show how it's done. Hope you will continue like this for any future topics.
can you please show setting for Yamaha 3072?
hi i own an old denon 3313 ci , i cant seem to figure out how to go manual on setting the graphic eq. at times the audesy settings i dont like all the tonal changes it does . help

Hello I have a question about the volume setting, and how to adjust if the output is louder because it's set a certain height or is lower because the volume settings is set to a lower output if that makes sense.

Hey topgun. I just installed the Yamaha Aventage a6a. I was apunipressed with the power output. I do have it running as a 5.1.4. It’s one thing that I don’t have it tweeked right. I tried opening the web editor confirmation but I was unsuccessful. Since I’m home I decided TO purchase the Emotiva Basx2 and call for reinforcements. I really appreciate the reviews,testing n new finds. Happy Thanksgiving! Thanks Berto

hi.when listing to movies ,the sound from the main people talking is impossible to hear properly.I am using only a V surround system.
Brilliant! Wish I had done this two years ago! Thank you
Can I set my AVR to LFE+Main even though I have all speakers set to small? Because I like the subwoofer supplementing the small front left and right when in 2.0 stereo mode for music. Thanks.

Are you able to use a HDMI Sound Bar as a center channel speaker? I wasn't able to figure this out as my sound bar only has HDMI and no speaker wire terminals.

I've been trying to hook up my phono ( audio technica AT lp60 usb) to my Denon avr 1613. No sound, line is on the phone, phono plugged in to cbl/sat, still no sound. Can anyone help?
How does the newest Denon without Pro logic handle a 2 channel source.Do you get some kind of equivalent pro logic for listening to normal tv in stereo?Would be much obliged for this information if you have time.Your small logo which looks like a compass and a square looks ominous..Possibly not..Very good explanation of manual setup..
When calibrating manually, at 80hz ( meter at listening position and pointing up ) does the subwoofer have to go also at 80hz ?
I have Polk rti a9 towers CSI a6 centre and fxi a6 surround and will get a subwoofer from Polk as well. Do I still put the speakers to SMALL??? Thanks
Hi. Can I setup a 3.1 config using a 5.1 receiver?
So it doesn't matter the speakers specification like my center speaker says fr: 90hz-40khz, and my Onkyo calibrated it with a crossover of 50hz... Should I change it to 90 or above ? It is a JBL Arena 125c... Thanks in advance
Great video. I have a Yamaha rx -v675 receiver 7.2. Nuance powered front speakers/built in subs and amps. Nuance center and rears. My problem is that I have no idea what most of this new technology does and settings that I don’t understand. My old Sony receiver from 2006 used to absolutely crank my speakers. This new receiver doesn’t seem to be giving me the same volume of sound. I’m pretty sure I do not have the receiver set up properly in the settings. If you are able to help me set this up properly I would really appreciate it. I’m setting it up manually.
Can you make an vedio for Pioneer receiver? Thanks
So use the LFE+ Main setting even if i'm running my fronts as "small" and want to direct all lfe to the sub ..and dont want "double bass" ?
NO.
eh, imo, the best setup is whatever sounds best to your ears. I use that method after setting virtually every option in nearly every combination of subtle to extreme to determine what sounds best. FYI, it's never what the mic/speaker setup determines the best settings are, , my manual setups tweaked to what I think sounds best rules the day every time....Takes a while , but if fun if you're into tinkering lol.
Awesome video video I learned a lot. Thank you .
Hi, I have a Denon avr-s720w that has two outputs for subwoofer, I have one of them connected to the LFE input of the subwoofer, is a Martin Logan Dynamo 600x, I would like to know if I need to connect the other output to the other input of the subwoofer also. I’m guessing the two outputs on the receiver are for dual subwoofer connection but I’m not sure. Please help, thank you and thanks for the great channel.
The receiver has 2 sub outputs for the use of 2 subs. Each receiver sub output would connect to LFE in each sub. That's it, just one connection into the sub !!!
My fronts are Polk RTI 8's , should they be set to small or large? The rest of my setup includes Polk CSI3 center , Def tech pro monitor 800's for my rears and 4 Polk psw505's for subs all running on a denon 510bt.
How to on pro logic 2 in my panasonic SC HT930
Hi, My Pioneer AVR VSX-819H-K supports 7.1 but It says to the manual that I need a seperate Amplifier in order for me to activate the surround back channels? Why? And what kind of amplifier should I hook up? Wattage? Thanks
/I have The denon s950h and it goes into thermal prot. mode with volume set to 50 after several minutes. Im wondering if my channel levels are too high. Fronts and surrounds are set to small with crossovers set from 90 to 100. LFE+main. Sub @ 150hz. Ive reset to factory levels which is zeros. Is there a good starting point as to what I should set my levels at so the amp wont get so hot?? Thanks!
I troubleshooted a TCL-Roku TV with a Sony receiver. I could only get a stereo sound from the left right speakers. However the AM/FM radio 5.1 speakers all worked. Also I could not get it to run the calibration, the TCL could not find a signal from the Sony, but the Sony seemed to connect to the TCL. But the Sony's AM/FM tuner popped up on the TCL's screen. I'm stumped.
I have a sub menu for equaliser settings to increase or decrease the dbs for each speaker Hertz currently at zero do I need to change these.
Hey . I was wondering what will be the best setting for the test tone db cuz I've more sound coming out in the center than my front l&r
hi. i just bought the denon avr-s950h receiver 7.2 channel 2019. i bought it new from best buy. when turning the receiver on or off, it sounds loud like the amp has 1,500 watts, or a loud click. works fine. ever heard this from denon or others. should i be worried if this was you. $500 door stop.
My Denon clicks when turning off. Absolutely fine. Sounds like a loud microswitch
My Denon clicks when turning off. Absolutely fine. Sounds like a loud microswitch. You can also set volume level at turn on in the settings so it will be at 'x' level ready to go when switched on.
Hi Gene, I have Denon AVR X3100W. I would like to adjust the Graphic EQ for music. What is the best / Recommended settings? Please let me know in values..
The values depend on your speakers, room and listening habits. Use boosts sparingly however.
Audioholics, could you please do a for dummies video on Room Measurement, MiniDSP setup and something like DIRAC live set setup
There are a stack of people that would really benefit from these sort of instructional videos
Why are you a dummy?
@@thegoat164 Yeah at the moment but I am studying to be a fucktard like you
I have Anthem receiver the ARC software result on SVS sb 2000 are different to the bass management on the receiver. the software set at 180hz . but on Bass management on the menu the Subwoofer LPF for LFE is set at 120hz. all the speakers have the same result from software and from bass management only the sub are different.
Whe doing manual test tones what dose the master volume have to be at???
This is the question I was looking for and there's no answer. I suppose it has to be at reference level and then it shouldn't matter if you crank up or down the volume level.
Would definitive technology BP9020 tower speakers be considered large speakers? or should I have a set to small
Small and 80hz
Are you at all familiar with the Denon AVC 3030? Purchased this in 1995.
Great video, Gene. I enjoyed the straightforward approach sans the clowning around with Hugo. Any thoughts on doing a subwoofer calibration video using REW?
I have a Onkyo TX-NR646 AV receiver and a Polk Audio PSW-450 sub. If i set the crossover frequency to 120 hz on the receiver, what do i need to set the dials with crossover and bass level on the back of the sub to? Should i set the dial on the back of the sub to 120hz or something else?
Thanks :) I folles the instructions but dont get any sound out of my subwoofer:((((
Can’t get my subwoofer to give any sound it just him. Help!
Humming is what I meant to say, my tv has HDMI ARC my receiver is Denon Av 750 and and using high speed cable but no signal from tv.
When I use the audyssey microphone on my denon avr 2113 and my Q acoustics 2000 cinema speakers it turns every channel down, so every channel will be something like -12 or -8.2 why is that?
hi..I dont have a fancy display like that to set up my audio Martinez 6.1 speakers....theres not even HDMI on mine...had to connect a bunch of 3.5 pc jack to 2 female ends to input the sound to the input ports for the speakers to output....theres no youube video anywhere to show how to connect this type of Matrinez amplifier ya!
Is it advisable to add subwoofer with center channel speaker?
what I do not understand is when you manually set up the system, why does it matter what distances you set since you are going to adjust levels anyway? Also when leveling each speaker, based on what reference volume are you setting these speakers? Do I just set the volume to 50 percent and level each speaker to 75db based on that 50 percent or I set my volume to 10 percent and add more db when leveling or it does not matter what my reference volume is?
Thus is off topic, but another interesting thing I found out about video processing from PC to AVR to TV is that you TV, acting as an extension of your PC screen should be set to match frame rate and resolution of a source video, otherwise it will be choppy and lip sync would not match.
I am so excited and frustrated at the same time because I have just picked up Klipsch 5.1.2 along with Bravia A95K with Marantz Cinema 50 and want everything to work nicely.
You may have figured some of this out by now but after auddessey do the calibration the receiver and not auddessey set's the distance and the crossovers based on the mic positions. Auddessey set's the volume levels and do the e-que based on the mic positions and room modes but the av receiver,not auddessey, determines the crossovers and that's why it's recommend to manually adjust some of settings after auddessey. Also when you're level matching you have to set the master volume to 0.0db and then you go into the test tones and level match up to 75db with an SPL meter. I have a marantz av receiver with Klipsch speakers and also in the learning process. But if you go to u-tube and look up youthman,he goes into full details about master volume, level matching, crossovers, auddessey. I think you'll get some good information there.
