After much reading and searching I'm sadly still quite confused how Audyssey and Manual settings interact on Denon AVR-3700H at least (MultiEQXT32).
If I run the audyssey setup, it will modify: Speaker sizes, distances, EQ (which I can't do manually), crossovers and levels. It does not seem to change the LFE lowpass or LFE/LFE+MAIN setting.
First Point of Confusion:
If I then go into manual and change any of that. Do I then have to switch between Audyssey or Manal settings somehow - or have I modified the 'only' settings by changing things in Manual? Then maybe I can 'Restore' in Audyssey to reset them maybe? But not switch back and forth?
Second Point of Confusion:
It keeps setting my mains to full range. (Tannoy MX4). With my 'bass' settings (which it did NOT change) to LFE (vs. LFE+main), this does not pass any bass to my sub in stereo. I do understand why this is (I think). But if I change it to LFE+Mains, this would theoretically result in a low-mid boom from the sub and mains both being active in the 40-80Hz range. So I think I'd have to change them to small with a 60Hz xover, then leave it as LFE with a 60Hz low pass for LFE. But then for movies with a discrete LFE channel intended for 80Hz - would it be losing detail?
Last point of confusion (for now at least):
Wouldn't I be mucking up the Audyssey results completely anyway by changing the speaker config and crossovers? Isn't it accounting for bass 'overlap' with LFE+main, or is it only concerned with discrete multichannel configurations, and it leaves stereo sub tweaking to me?
