Onkyo 647......Please help

[lewis77]

I recently decided to try out the auto-calibration feature on my ONK-TXSR674 and regretfully it totally ruined every setting I had manually entered. Problem is, I can't seem to get the settings back to where I had them. I should have written them down before hand (hindsight is always 20/20!)......My speakers dont sound nearly as loud anymore, nor does my sub......I've done the obvious fixes (changing level calib., etc, etc.) but there is no big noticeable change. Does anyone know where I can find the factory settings for specific onkyo recievers? I cant seem to find them on Onkyo's website........or does anyone else have any other suggestions?? Thanks for any and all of your help

You might get some better help if you provided what your settings are now, which would include channel level (this is the db levels - assuming they are not set to Full Band), speaker distances and your cross-overs for your speakers and sub(what frequency level they are currently at, perhaps 80Hz?) This would be a good start.....

Reset your receiver to its factory defaults( page 87 in your manual )

To reset the AV receiver to its factory defaults,
turn it on and, while holding down the [VIDEO 1]
button, press the [STANDBY/ON] button. “Clear”
will appear on the display and the AV receiver will
enter Standby mode.

Calibrating with an SPL will help a lot. It doesn't take long just follow Big_Daddy's instructions in his thread. Radioshack sells them unless you or someone you know already has one or even an IPhone or ITouch- the app is only $1.99 and it is close enough at least to have everything level matched.

where can I find that specific thread?
