Hi Guys,
Something I've just noticed playing with the Denon AVC-X4700H.. it seems that the 'Test Tone' located in the Levels section of the Speaker setup does NOT produce any significant audible sound from the Subwoofer outputs after calibration.
Has anyone else noticed this on that model or similar models?
Strangely the subwoofer performs normally in use and the Audyssey level calibration tone during setup with the Mic DOES play a test tone as expected.
I've come from an Onkyo receiver (one that still had Audyssey) and generally the way the test tones worked is you would scroll down through the channels and each would play a 75db pink noise tone (including the subwoofer rumble).
On this new Denon there's barely anything coming out of the channel (even if you put the gain to +12db on that channel and turn up the subwoofer gain itself a bit).
I noticed the Denon also doesn't just jump straight to 75db for the other channels (you have to adjust the relative master volume, which of course I'm also doing).
Anyone else get the same result? I'm wondering if there's a firmware issue on these new amps as I've never seen one behave like this.
I mean there is a slightly low frequency signal there (as you can feel the cone just about vibrating with the gains pushed up, but it's not exactly the usual test tone we're used to
