 I'd be willing to bet that there's some type of DRC activated in the Onkyo. Make sure any dynamic compression is turned to off, make sure that you select your main speakers as small (to avoid diversion of the LFE to your mains/surrounds), make sure midnight mode (or the equivalent) is turned off. Also check the bass management of your DVD player is set properly. Most modern DVD's also offer bass management features, so check the same as you do with the receiver (speaker settings, DRC, etc.) |
Hi,
Well, my el-cheapo Philips DVD player has indeed the midnight/DRC mode wich is offcourse turned off.
My speakers are configured during the Audessey procedure and they had something like :
- fronts : X-over 90Hz
- center : X-over 120Hz
- surrounds back : X-over 70Hz
Not 1 speaker is set as "large" or "full range"
Also volume levels where set quite moderate after the Audessey routine (I did 3 positions), even up to -8dB for the surround back speakers (which makes sense because the calibration microphone is pretty close (seats) to the back surround channels.
Audessey detected "speaker distances" where actually quite correct, subwoofer included.
For the rest there are no explicit DRC functions on the Onkyo if I recall correctly.
LPF for the LFE is set to 80Hz
I'll do 1 more Audessey run and see what comes out of it, I'll post the values.
Thanks
