Hi,
So I'm no expert but I've done this several times before on several systems. Current system was set up fine, I tried a new receiver but decided not to keep it so I put my old one back in. Just for grins I thought I'd redo the calibration. It ain't working. It was setup before and went as expected so I can't figure out what changed.
Onkyo HT-RC460
7.1 in- ceiling speakers
Radio Shack SPL meter
Crossovers set at 100Mhz
My basic steps:
Physically measure speaker distance--set up in the menu
Sit in listening position with volume on RX at 75 and test tone menu on.
SPL meter "C" weight, "Slow" held out in front of my head.
Here's the kicker, I now have to turn almost every channel DOWN to -12db to reach the 75. As if they're all just way too loud to begin with. Obviously this isn't right and it wasn't like this when I first bought and setup the RX. Can anyone figure out what I might have done? Some setting I'm missing. Any help is appreciated. And let me know if I missed some info you need.
Thanks,
Lee
