This is the best video advice, even relevant today in June 2020!
Possibly the easiest to understand guide to what all those av terms means and how they actually relate to the user and why they’re important. Fantastic job guys.
My friend, from all the audio advice out there, this was the most helpful and easy to follow for me as a non English speaking audio fan. So thank you very much and greetings from the Netherlands 👍
Thank you! Solved my problem as non professional A/V guy. Upped my satellite speakers from 80hz to 150hz and no more weird distortion sounds at low levels! Cheers!
Thanks brother for making things easier. It's always a treat whenever I listen from you guys.
So much helpful information so fast. Perfectly covered all my questions. Definitely worth the 7 minutes. Thank-you
This is super helpful. Thank you so much Mr. Joe Flacco! =)
I've learned something new today: balancing the speakers' level adjustment. I have the surround at +10dB and front at 0dB. Will correct that later.
Also, about the settings, it would be nice if there was an option to save them to USB. Maybe in the future...
Your vids are very informative and well done! :)
Thanks for sharing on your video on how to set up AC receiver using either manual or auto setup❤️
Another good video. I have klipsch rf35 mains with dual 8s and I prefer to run them full range with the double bass feature to get the sub to help. I think it gives a fuller sound and I also think it improves the sound staging for the punchy bass and it seems to have a nicer natural roll off. I run a 100hz low pass on the sub and it hides itself nicely. Enjoyed the video.
You guys, are very informative. I’m learning a lot. I will be checking out more Videos. Good work
This is an excellent video and goes into more detailed explanation than the one I have produced which is specifically for Denon receivers..... I found that Audyssey does not do a good job except perhaps in 'perfect' rooms..... once you get good with the settings and have an excellent test disc (Joe Kane's Digital Video Essentials HD) you can do much better setting up manually.
Good video. Pl reply YAPO result is accurate if room is with Furnitures. I m not sure. In case of Empty area it might be ok. What is GEQ and PEQ. There are no Informations or video or any details. Pl make video on same. Most of keep it off. Why the functions given in Yamaha AVR. Pl reply.
Building in wall speakers for my room.
Thank you for the information! For the channel levels using the spl meet, what should I have three master volume on?
If I have the information of how far down my driver goes but the size is smaller than the suggested xo where should I set them . My speaker frequency response goes down to 56hz which would suggest the usual 80hz xo but driver is just under 6" which would suggest the 100/120 xo .
I just bought a PIONEER VSX-LX102 / AV receiver i also bought 2 HDMI cables.. how can i hook it up to my PC so i can watch u tube videos thru the power of this receiver and speakers. Thanks
Still here in 2021!!
Do you leave the loudness on and the menu set up or do you shut that off. Thank you very much love everything you guys do
Hi, I have a question about pioneer AVR, I own elite VSX 50 and in pioneer there is an option in the remote control audio parameter where phase control plus function is activated when you play Dolby and DTS movies or videos, this is set to 6 millisecond by default, and it sounds great bass is great through mains and all but it does not sound right and bass is missing in some Blu-ray’s and dvd unless I change the settings to 9 or 12 milliseconds but then I loose bass in other movies and videos, can you pls help and tell me what’s the best setting for phase control plus, and please Note the MCACC does not change this setting. You have to manually adjust, please help how it works it’s so frustrating. Thanks
hi there i cant find my CROSSOVER FREQ. settings on my Yamaha RXV871 receiver. In a manual set up there is a Parametric EQ option under that i can select the speaker there is a Frequency option that jump from 78.7-99.2-125Hz,,but it doesn't say Crossover Frequency,,is this the same thankss
My receiver was a floor model. Where can one get a calibration mike for a sony?
What I need is some advice on how to get some sound out of the thing, all this is just detail
Amazing thank you
I have a noob question....My receiver says it the D/A converter will handle 24/192 which I understand....but it says it also has a A/D converter which will handle 24/96......what is the job of a A/D converter ??
Many thanks, this is a great help guide.
My Marantz SR8000 5.1 Channel 105 Watt Surround Home Theater Receiver is on but don't have sound. Can you tell me what is wrong?
That's a very informative video. Thanks a tonne.
Could you suggest a crossover setting for my floor standing towers, if I'm using them in a 2.0 config (no sub). Thanks
80hz
My subwoofer driver is 5'' and the satellite driver is 2,75''. Should I set the crossover to 100-120 hz or 150-200 hz?
I’ve got a question how will you know if a speaker has a subwoofer built in to it I would like to know because I am buying a pair of Auna line 300 wh floor standing speakers they look like they have wide base and crystal high end frequency’s they have good specs for a floorstander.
So I think I done it right but I'm not sure. I didn't set my master volume to 0 cause I didn't know I was supposed to do that. I set up the spl meter and went through the cutest tone for each channel and made the adjustments to level each speaker to 75db. Based on my limited knowledge does that just mean now that rather than 0 my reference point of 75db is at volume level 40 on the master volume? Or should I go back and do it again and set the master volume to 0?
YAPO result are ok for speaker distance n wrong wire connection. Furniture room is not giving proper result. What master volume to set on AVR while using SPL meter. 0 MV is not giving any response on SPL. And 1st all DB level should set (-)10 so pl make demo video in detail step by step of all speakers say 5.1. Pl
Is there a big difference in sound only on denon 8500vs denon 6500h thanks
Hi! I have Hooked up Elac Cinema 5 & Polk S10 with Denon AVR-S750H, Polk-S10 for front L&R channel, and Elac as a for L&R Surround and Top Middle.(5.1.2 atoms setup). what crossover I should use for all individual speaker including sub, do I need to set LFE+Main or not my speaker Frequency response is Polk S10 F.R = 67Hz to 40KHz (67 - 40,000 Hz) Elac (Front/Center/Surround) F.R=160Hz to 20KHz(160 to 20,000Hz) & Subwoofer F.R= 40Hz to 200Hz.
Appreciate if you could come round my place and sort it all out. I just press buttons. Plus I'm getting a center speaker soon, and wondering if people out there could let me know the benefit of having one. Cheers.
Thanks
I live in California how do I get you out here to find tune my receiver professionally
Eddie Cano i second that?
I have a passive 5.0 soundbar with like 3 inch speakers, and a Polk 12" sub. My Sony AVR autocalibrate gives me different crossover settings between 170 and 200 for the front center and surround speakers. The soundbar says it starts at 60Hz per the specs. My Polk ends at 130Hz. The soundbar specs state set crossover to 120Hz. If I run my autocalibration function to get proper distance and adjust my SW dial so that after calibration I am at 0db on my AVR, what would be the reccomendation to determine what crossover settings to go with, spec, autocal, 10Khz above 60Hz, THX default? Autocalibration seems a bit "movie theatre" boomy to be honest.
I am manually setting up my speaker sound. I have a spl meter. I have two separate settings to raise or lower the sound of my individual speakers. One is db level and other is the basic speaker level. My question is what setting do I use to get the db level to 75.0db. Do I just set my db levels on my center at +5db and the others at -5db and leave them alone. Then just use my basic individual speaker levels to get them to 75.0db.
Hope you can understand my question.
Thank You
great video, I have a question my tower speakers the Boston acoustics m340 don't have a build in subwoofer, but are pretty powerful in don't have a subwoofer. So should I still put my front speakers to large?
If i set my center at 120hz,is there chance of vocal/mid range route to sub?
I was really interested in a Marantz AV receiver but can not get any response from Marantz. I will not buy from someone that will not be available.
My speakers are way to high....I just tilted them how I want it. I used the calibration advanced mcacc on my elite. It's just a baseline.... Tweaking it makes it so much better.
Channel volume level are all on 0
I set it to large, why else would.i have full range speakers...the subs are not on the lfe output either. I out them on the pre outs the add so much more in my setup..
So yah in my case the "this is how you should too booklet" did not work one bit lol. It's flat and boring in representation. If I followed your steps
The distance setting does the most, especially if you use in stereo listening .

I have the Polk S30 center channel and the S10 satellites and Audyssey set them to 40Hz for the S30 and the lowest frequency response is 42hz and the S10 for the front was set to 80hz and 100hz for rear and the lowest Fr is 67Hz would you change theses settings? if so to what?
do you do the Blu-ray player sound and amplify or both together because mine's has both
I have a blu-ray player as the source playing CD. It is connected to AVR Pioneer vsx-33 via HDMI.
Can I use AVR to convert HDMI sent to AVR from my blu-ray into RCA audio
output without going through AVR's preamp? I want to connect the
converted RCA analog audio output to RCA input on the external
preamplifier of higher quality (which does not have digital inputs) than
the one in AVR and need AVR to just convert from HDMI to RCA without
amplification.
Need help whats the best having sub set to 75 or turning it off and have the lfe set to 120 ?
I have yamaha home theatre 1840 how to setup speaker level
Tengo un sinto Yamaha RX 5790 con 5 parlantes PolkAudio En los últimos días tengo el sig. problema. Cuando estoy reproduciendo una peli o serie en algún momento se corta el audio de todos los parlantes, desapareciendo la imagen con los 5 parlantes del display del sinto, volviendo a la normalidad en algunos segundos. Luego lo vuelve a hacer de manera aleatoria, lo que es muy molesto. Cuál puede ser el problema? El equipo no se apaga, solo se corta el audio y vuelve a los pocos segundos, para después (sin ningún patrón predefinido) volver a cortarse en otro momento. Así todo el tiempo. Espero su ayuda!
If my satellites for height and surround and surround back have a Frequency Response of 100Hz-20KHz, should I still set them at 80Hz or set them right at 100Hz or set them at 110Hz? I have my fronts and center set 10Hz above their 70Hz frequency. So 80Hz for LCR. And I have 2 subwoofers with LFE set to max on both subs and receiver LFE crossover SET TO 120Hz. Thanks.
i have a pioneer sclx87 and a 7.0 set up i have 6 matching tower speakers and the matching center speaker ..i have set correct distance and set at 75db ...however i have uneaven sound still ..suround left ,suround back left are queter still...roughly same front left and right....the right side suround is realy bassy and back right is less bassy... pritty wierd to say my room is almost a perfect square ..any help would be greatly apreciated

Why does multi channel stereo input sound more vibrant than Dolby surround sound. Dolby sounds muted
Hi, I am setting up a marantz sr6015 with 5.1.2, where I am using thx504L for centre ch and thx 502L for front leg and right. Rp 402s for surround and cs18 C for the atmos ceiling speakers.. Here I am not too sure abt the centre speaker, if it is appropriate for this amp or I should go with thx 502-L? Because in the description it is recommended for 150w amp?
Good video but nothing on ohms? Especially on what to set the receiver at if you have varied ohm speakers such as 6 ohm and 8 ohm?
Cedric George most receivers do not require manual settings as far as impedances go

hi I have a jamos426 , and I need ur help to set crossover frequency and levels for my setup..
how often do you have only one person sitting in that prime spot? seems very wonky with a roomful of people.
hi Audioholics, love your channel, I have a the Tannoy 101 XP 5.1 setup paired with a marantz 1504NR receiver.
I replaced the 2 front L/R satellites with a pair of tannoy HTS 200 towers that i had.
I set the crossover for the towers at 80/100hz and the rest at 100/120hz.
For the subwoofer, I set it usually at 120Hz.My question is should i be setting the sub at 110Hz or 150Hz. I get varied response depending on source material from hardy no bass to overpowering....... the room is small.
Also, I wired the extra 2 satellites in series to the back surrounds, thinking I would be getting a more enveloping sound. !!! Any critique and advice greatly appreciated.......
hi i have onkyo txnr 646 and the harman kardon hkts 9bq ive done accueq measurement and it brought me the front speakers to 180hz the surround to 150hz and the subwoofer is 8 inches to 120hz i dont know but subwoofer its out of phase i try to low under 80hz to receiver but it dosnt go and uper than 120 can anyone tell why this happening and what i can with this thank you...!
hej , nice , i have my center is 4 inch Woofer, Can i set it to 150 hz , i have also 6 inch and 8 inch Woofers, or is it better to set everything to 80 hz ?? grtz
That's a tough one because depending on the brand of center channel, your speakers might barely go below 100hz by themselves. Generally speaking, you want to put the crossover at 80hz. At 80, you can't really hear too much of where the sub is coming from(which is good), but above that, you can't hear its location more. According to thx standards, 80 is the sweetspot to set the crossover. It also produces fuller sounds from the surrounding speakers, without straining them(the more low frequency you ask a speaker to play, it will struggle more)
Have all speakers set to 80 Hz . my sub has am adjustment on it 0-120 Hz what do you recommend for it
He said 80hz in the video

My speakers go down to 24 hz can I use large or do i still set them to small
It all comes down to the question of what would be most effective at reproducing bass frequencies. If the answer is, "your subwoofer", then set them to small. Some AVRs offer a "double bass" feature where frequencies below the crossover are sent to both your sub and mains. For your speakers this might make sense, but keep in mind:
1) Some manufacturers will list 24hz as their bottom limit, but at what relative level? -3dB? -6dB? -10dB?
2) Generally, bass peaks and nulls can be well dealt with using built-in EQ of modern AVRs. For some EQ systems, correction will not be applied to the mains. In this instance, to get the benefit of EQ, you must set your speakers to small and have the bass frequencies sent to your sub.
if my receiver sets the crossover at 80hz , do i still need to set the physical sub crossover or just leave sub crossover at maximum.
adamfilip either max or disable the sub crossover.
Audioholics and set the lfe to what ?
Is there ever a need to have your speakers full range? (Large) I have 6.5" B&W Towers and 6.5" B&W 3 way Center. Should I cross those over at 60hz or so? Thanks!
You generally want the speakers and sub to be sent the frequencies they are best designed to reproduce. Only very high-end (and often physically large) main speakers, paired with substantial amplification, can reproduce bass frequencies as well as my $800 SVS subwoofer. Thus I set my mains to small, and send the bass frequencies to my sub. I also don't try to use my sub as a full-range speaker for the same reason...it's just not designed for those frequencies.
So the answer to your question would only be "yes" if:
1) Your main speaker truly is best suited for reproducing bass frequencies out of all of your speakers, or
2) You are using a "double bass" feature in your AVR to send bass frequencies to both your mains and sub. I would caution the use of this feature though...some main speakers will produce audible distortion when fed loud bass frequencies due to port noise or hitting maximum driver excursion. Unless your speakers really can keep up with your subs, I'd generally keep them at small.
In the end, trust you ears.

Audioholics, I have a question for you about AV receivers, have you ever heard of them going out because the HDMI run is too long? See this video please...
czcams.com/video/v99jbOI3qNI/video.html
This scares me....my run is bout 35 ft through the ceiling conduit. I am currently running the following HDMI cables at 50ft (I know more than 35ft, but better than coming up short) www.firefold.com/hdmi-cable-high-speed and in the market for a new receiver but dont want to burn it up out of the box! I really don't like wireless stuff either, so what HDMI cable should I use?
Thanks
You intentionally make it complicated… so people would hire you.
Good information though.
