Hi all,
Been playing around with settings for a while now but I still get a feeling that I can’t seem to find a setting which really make the surround sound (as in the rear speakers) really stand out? Compared to my previous budget onkyo, the surround sound seems a lot quieter (I notice rear sound effects less).
I’ve used the calibration mic but found it to not be accurate. I even tried boosting the levels at the rear speakers to max (whilst others at 30-50%). When playing the test tone, the rear speakers are clearer a lot louder too.
However, when playing movies (even 4k discs via xbox one X directly plugged into TV (with ARC out to AVR), the surround sound sometimes seem negligible.
So far, think the best setting I have is either leave the Surround decode to auto or Neo:6 Cinema; also turning dynamic range on.
Any help on best setting would be much appreciated please – prioritising movies.
Thanks in advance
