Re: 6.1 setup help

Hi,

Having used Audyssey on a couple of occasions,when I've changed/moved speakers I now tend to treat it as a guide.If you have a rectangular room with the speakers set out in the accepted fashion, then Audyssey is probably useful,But mine isn't a rectangular room.

My settings for a 6.1 system on my 605 have all of the speakers apart from the sub set at 80hz the sub is set at 120hz

On the level settings my front three are set at L+3, C+4, R+3, Surrounds +4 Rear surround -5 and Sub -5.

This works for me.Hope that helps,

K.

Re: 6.1 setup help

That question has been asked before.

This thread might help;Can I connect two amps to one pair of speakers?
