    Default Help ! My Receiver is Out of Control! Or am I the stupid one?

    Hi guys,

    So ... I am using Yamaha RX-v465 receiver. Yea, I know, time to upgrade ... anyway.

    After doing the Yamaha's speaker calibration or whatever it's called with the microphone, I check the setting Yamaha creates.

    Front and rear speakers are set to = Large
    Crossover is at 80
    Bass out = Subwoofer. (here is where the problem is)

    It sets bass out only from the sub and that's fine, BUT .... once I exit the settings, no bass is coming out of the sub. Only when I change BASS out = BOTH sub and speakers, I get the sub to play.

    very strange.

    Anyone know what's going on? Not only do I not feel the base from sub but even on the screen it shows off.

    Like I said .... the only way for me to get the sub going is to have settings Sub out = BOTH (sub and speakers).

    Anyone? What's happening? I think sound will be a lot better if bass was only played through Sub.

    I thought that if this can;t be fixed then maybe I can manipulate this with a crossover set to 100+ ???

    Front, rear and center speakers must be set to SMALL.

    David. ... you're suggesting that to fix the receiver to play bass out of Sub or is it both ... to enable the option AND because you suggest playing those speakers in SMALL ?

    Setting the speakers to LARGE disables bass management and the receiver then sends a full range signal to the speakers. It *might* also send bass to the subwoofer (depends on the receiver), but either way -- it is entirely incorrect. Your speakers must be set to small. NEVER blindly trust the results of these Auto EQ systems, they rarely -- if ever, get things right.

    Pretty sure both...bass out to sub and other speakers to small.

    With the 465 your sub level is more than likely reduced to minimum if YPAO recognizes the mains as "large". If you scroll thru the receiver and find your "levels" area you will see that the sub level was completely reduced. Raise it to the middle with all set to "small" and start with the 80hz crossover. Its your sub level setting. Everytime I ran my 465 YPAO i would also have to readjust the sub level.

    Thank you guys. Appreciate the quick response.

    Just did the change and I think tv, music, movies now sounds better.

    By the way ... FYI ... 2 days ago, changed the angle of a center speaker to point up just a little to my ear instead of stomach and dialog is now better. Did A/B test a few times to double check and yea, noticed a clearer sound from center.
