Do you have to use the Audeysey?

[MosHighDef]

Im really confused to what this Audeysey mic cable thing is for the receiver.The speakers sound fine and lound right now.

Do i still need to use it, how do i use it. Thanks

Well that all depends on you. Try it after i did mine it sounded alot better than before keep messing with it until u get what u want

I use it. Seems to work well. I still tweak the speakers a little though, sometimes.

I like the volume control for watching commercial programing. That isn't enabled unless you run it and have it engaged.

If you are unfamiliar with how to calibrate the system yourself... I would definitely use it. It will measure your speaker distances to get the surround timing correct, and set the speaker volume levels to match.

When I did it the measurements were pretty good, I was surprised at how accurate they really were. I still had to make some adjustments since it wasn't perfect, but I like it

Not really meant to just be loud. It's meant to create an equal and balanced soundstage throughout your system, minimizing distances, dead spots, and the like.

All you have to do is plug the thing in, put it in a listening position, and let it do its thing.

And redo it if you change speaker location!

I just ran the audyssey set-up earlier.It sounds nice.Later I`ll probably check it over with a spl meter.

No one here will likely agree with me, but I find the "Direct" mode to be much better to my own ears than using Audyssey. You do have to compensate a bit for the drop in the low end by doing this, but once I tweaked a few things, the transparency I experience with this as opposed to the Audyssey settings is more than merely noticeable - it is dramatic. I've had several fellow audiophiles over for an A-B comparison and we were all in agreement, at least on my particular system. But do keep in mind that this, as with all things, is entirely subjective. Just use whatever sounds the best to you personally...to your own perception and for your own listening space. Nothing replaces the best as far as your own two ears are concerned. They're your best guide to these things in the end.
