    Run it hex..you will be pleased. You can do A/B test in the OSD.


    If not pleased then adjust the xover settings and rerun it in manual mode.

    MY EZ/EQ set the distance level almost exactly as my SPL meter. And it sets delay.

    forget EZ Set. Go to RShack and throw some coin on a sound level meter - the analog one. And a Video Essentials disc. The only room calibration setup I trust even half-heartedly from an AVR is Pioneer's MCAAC.

    But EZ Eq also does a great job on eq'ing the room. At least use it for that and recheck the levels with the SPL.

    If you dont like it...do a reset and your back to square one

    Why the analog one rather than the digital one?


    To me the analog is actually easier to read and operate.

    I found the room EQ adjustment to help improve the sound especially with my sub. It totally cleaned up the bass and tightened it. I found my (analog) Radio shack SPL meter to do a better job of adjusting the channel levels.

    I found an even bigger improvement when I listened to music in stereo mode with the DSP turned off. This can only be done using rca cables to connect the cd player.

    Just got my hands on the 247 - I wired it all up - put everything back in place, placed the mic at head height where I sit and closed any doors that affected the dynamics. Turned it on and let it rip. Thought it did a great job. The only change I made was to move the crossover to 120Hz from the 100Hz that it picked.

    Upgrades will soon see a Csi5 and Rti10's...and will rerun it each time...

    Cheers
