Help setting up my 606 - Blu-ray Forum

ChoosyLobster · 12-31-2008, 02:17 AM

I finally got yesterday my onkyo 606 with some polk rm-705 model. Now i setup everything today but for some reason i have to crank up my receiver to about 50 to hear my volume on all the speakers i did the audyssey test and this is what i got.
Front 150mhz
center 150mhz
Surround 80mhz
LPF of LFE 100mhz

can someone help me!! i am new to this thank you

Wait, 150 hz for your speakers and 100hz for your sub?

That leaves a 50hz sound gap. You should put all your speakers on 80hz and see if you like that better (you should).

ok and what about the LPF of LFE do i also put it on 80??

Driver_King · 12-31-2008, 03:19 AM

The crossover you mean? If so, then yes. The sub should also be set at 80. That gives you the cleanest transition crossover wise and is also the THX standard.

I thought the LPF of LFE on the sub should be set at 120Hz? Otherwise you are throwing away that information, correct? This is a feature exclusive to Onkyo, so I am not sure. I referred to this thread a couple of weeks ago. I would set all your speakers at 80Hz, the LPF of LFE at 120Hz, and crank the sub crossover all of the way up....

i don't find anywhere in the menu to put my sub at 80

ChoosyLobster · 12-31-2008, 03:39 AM

Should i have the low pass on my sub on 180???

JasonR · 12-31-2008, 03:42 AM

I would set the xover on the physical sub itself at max and set the LPF at the max available as well.

ChoosyLobster · 12-31-2008, 03:48 AM

when i went to speaker calibration the audyssey thing put my sub at -15db and my center at -3db. what do you guys recommend for the sub ???? 3db?

JasonR · 12-31-2008, 03:52 AM

I would level it at zero on your receiver and adjust at sub level.

What about the center channel??? should i leave it at -3 or put it atleast to 4db

JasonR · 12-31-2008, 04:02 AM

Leave it at -3 and if you feel it lacking, adjust it manually.
