Home Theater Receiver Menu Settings Explanation for Onkyo & Integra | Dolby Atmos, DTS X

[@donkique956]

Oh, my God! I feel overwhelmed trying to set this Onkyo receiver.

[@michaelmarquez6133]

How did it go?

[@felixthecat4536]

Very good and thorough information. Thank you.

[@OldtradesReviews]

You are welcome!

[@juliobello4561]

I used to run for while older integra with double bass sounded good had it plug to Cambridge tower 1 and pair of velodyne subs

[@OldtradesReviews]

Thanks for sharing that. Looks like a good combination.

[@WilliamTaylor-h4r]

The 6050 didn't have any imax settings, not in LCD mode anyway. Got some 2006 Onkyo 7.1 for it, real good deal, got the old soundblaster Rx for the toslink because the motherboard has this blue plug with no label, it started to bother me alot, but the reciever only has eARC.

[@turdferguson1021]

How do you even get your receiver to appear on the tv?

[@hypefxx9011]

Why doesnt this receiver have room correction to compensate for the nodes and reverb? My 8 year old pioneer had that and it did a good job. I just picked up a used integra drx 5. Mix feelings

[@OldtradesReviews]

I dont know. Its well loaded for the price though

[@tonymilicevic2196]

Does it speakers indicators change on AVR display when different audio format is playing? For example for playing stereo only two indicators and for 5.1, 7.1 more speakers indicators, please let me know. And one more thing. When pushing info button on remote control, does it show information about audio format type on AVR display? Thank you sry for my bad english typing...

[@jag7good]

good video eexplaing well especially onkyo as its different from other avrs brands maybe its because its new well explained and very informative keep it the good work my friend

[@troyrobinson4949]

I'm using optical connection for now both my legs are amputated above the knee so that's why I'm using optical connection I had a bad experience trying to connect optical connection

[@jasinZ28]

Thanks for this, I really appreciate it! Helped me out alot.

[@OldtradesReviews]

Glad to hear it!

[@mark17840]

very nice now i no how to use it.

[@maze400]

The thing about the EQ is it can correct for a bad room. I have an old TX-SR608 and it just died so I ordered the TX-NR6050. I liked your video though I do not agree with all of it. You did give me an idea though. I will go through ALL my current setting and WRIGHT THEM DOWN before setting up the new unit. I have an SPL meter so the speakers will be set to a balanced level, I may run the Onkyo EQ mic calibration for frequency to see how that works.... It may correct for the room. I was not prepared to for $1200 (NR7100) or $1600 (RZ50) both come with Dirac live which I am told is a miracle worker.

[@josephmartinez7363]

I agree with you, I thinks equalizer it is very important, and onkyo it is the receiver I am looking for simple because has equalizer, I had one receiver with no equalizer built in and notice is nesesary

[@wokitlikeyoutalkit5619]

My 20 year old O kyo receiver was going strong and all of a sudden the sound because bad like drone or like speakers were badly connected. Any ideas mate? I'll try the reset and Unplug power for 30 minutes

[@maxy.5166]

Great video ! Thanks my Dirac Life not working error message network connection. (Error code: DU1001) I reseted the WiFi, the Onkyo 7100, MacBook, and iPhone and Nothing. Any suggestions? I was getting ready to return it, this unit just became available at Best Buy was waiting for 7 months, I also tried the Denon 3700 and the 4700 both had to go back 3700 was shutting down, 4700 left channel blew up incredible.

[@felixthecat4536]

I just hooked up a tx-nr 727 onkyo. I had it for 6 years. Brand new. Back up for when Sony es 5300 failed. It failed. The hybrid standby light came on. Stays on. Is this ok?

[@_.Dave._]

In the crossover section, my front speakers are grayed out and locked on full band... why am I being locked out of adjusting?

[@jazzman9469]

Thank you for the video. I picked up an Onkyo TX-NR727 receiver. I am using it with Bose Acustimass speakers (5.1). After several attempts to refine the sound, I am struggling with how different TV channels send different signals. I hate to have to adjust the sound settings for each channel I watch. Is DTS the way to go or All-Room Surround? I would think these receivers could auto-switch to reflect the best sound for the signal it receives. Any advice?

[@troubatrain]

I am not able to get the quick menu up while watching live tv from Verizon Fios digital box. How do you bring it up? Iwould like to do like you did with isolating certain speakers. I am using the onkyo TX NR 838 receiver.

[@JV220]

Do you know when the optimized audio will be available on older Onkyo models, like the RZ-730? Thank you in advance

[@ashutoshhimatpura6922]

Which Onkyo Receiver do you use ?

[@therelentlessspartan3876]

My onkyo receiver TX-nr585 isn't connecting to my Samsung smart TV. I am looking to use the arc function. Not connected the sources to the receiver. They are connected to the TV. Pl can you assist

[@jimmiemack1947]

I have a NR6100, will never never buy another receiver that I must hook up to a TV. My unit is in another room all wired up. Am I to get a 50ft HDMI cable to use my receiver?

Svs Ultra Center enough power with Old Onkyo Tx N-3008??

[@freemspoints97]

This video is older but maybe you will respond, I'm using a Kicker L7 15" Pushing 1800 Watts peak with My home theatre system its obviously powered not with receiver it's already insanely loud but I'm wondering what you think I should be using for lfe for more bass? I'm just wondering if I could be getting even more then I have you can see my videos of the sub in the house and how it's powered

[@nirkol1]

My new Onkyo 6100 sends audio to the projector and not to the speakers (the speakers are connected correctly and working when playing via wifi ). what do I need to change in the configuration to send the audio to the speakers instead of the projector ?

[@user-ij8no5zw6u-]

Does the sub channel EQ also starts with 25Hz?

[@chrisrosenkreuz23]

Wait, why would you need to set distance? doesn't it have a calibration option?

[@fairygoblinfather]

I got this receiver but I can’t get the center channel, back left and right surround to play any audio when playing movies/music. But when I tired the setup input in the receiver each channel played audio perfectly fine. I have everything plugged in correctly I can’t find an answer.

[@fredyescape128]

i came to discover about the equalizer settings 10:32 but you said is not necesary ... i think it is because inspite of the quality of the speaker you can improve the audio that goes trough ... but at the end i am very disapointed because Netflix content is 2.0 they don't have any content on pure 5.1 so all this configuration is for nothing i play Netflix content the 80% of the time... is a shame the quality of Netflix is so bad.

[@OldtradesReviews]

What device are you playing netflix on? The audio output will vary for netflix per device. The best netflix will do is Dolby Digital + Over Atmos.

Thats a shame audio is so bad.

[@absurdusername9519]

@@fredyescape128 you may need to adjust the audio output settings of your tv. You may be outputting PCM which will give you 2.0 channel to your receiver. Change it to Auto 1 if it's set to PCM. I have a Sony x900h Android TV and the setting is: Settings/Display and Sound/Audio Output/Digital Audio Out Rewatching Sandman right now through my Onkyo RZ820 in 5.1 and it sounds great.

Hi, I just got the onkyo tx-nr6050. I have it hooked up with energy take home classic 5.1 surround sound speakers. Do you know by any chance what the best settings are for the crossovers? I have it set to 80hz on all speakers.

I would look for the owners Manuel for those speakers.

[@darkliquid6388]

@@OldtradesReviews That's what I ended up doing. I found out that my speaker were made by klipsch and vox. Couldn't find the model name to them. I was thinking they might be close to a setting in the receiver that I could set them to. Oh! by the way. Do you think that 100w per channel is more noticeable than 90w

Hello sir, Please help me my speaker crossover setup (all speaker polk audio,av receiver marantz sr6015) Polk audio- RTI A9 30HZ-26KHz hai - RTI A1 50HZ '27KHZ - CSI A6 45HZ 27KHZ- RC 80I 35 HZ 20 KHZ Subwoofer- Lower and Upper Audio Quality -3dB Limits 25 Hz → 125 Hz

[@OldtradesReviews]

I think 80 hz would be fine. For all. Although the RTi a1 may do better with something higher like 90 or 100 hz. Depending on what the reciver has. Listen to it and see what you think. I have the Marantz sr7013 which the next setting lower is 60hz....but that will be to low for those speakers

Sadly not for my onkyo 360 av receiver. it's a network receiver thats useless as a network device.

[@MikeMargolis-j8f]

I agree with the video creator that EQ shouldn't be used, and that you should set up an AVR by yourself. I've always run systems like this, and still run my Onkyo 605 without EQ and with manual adjustments.

[@gak0090]

I respect your opinion on EQs, but the truth is that sound is somewhat subjective, additionally depending on age, heating impairment and different hearing acuity in people the ability to fine tune the sound is a welcome option. Also another time I would use the EQ would be to create my own kind of "night mode" or "quiet mode"- I know many receivers have a function like this, but usually they don't always work well. For instance there will be times where I want to cut below 90hz and increase dialogue mid frequencies if I'm trying to keep the volume down. Also sometimes the default settings do not correspond with you taste on the inputs. There are many reasons to use an EQ or not depending on your taste, the default might be great- but it's better to have one and not use it than to need one and not have it.

[@MikeMargolis-j8f]

Never got an alert that someone responded to my post; sorry. Of course, it was my personal opinion; some EQ systems will benefit certain rooms. I am of the school that suggests you should get your setup and speakers right before using auto setup and EQ systems. Actually, I broke from my tradition of buying nothing but Onkyo AVRs and just bought a Denon X2800; I just can't get past Onkyos stupid decision to leave off the sound mode indicator on the front panels of the receivers. I hope the Denon works out for me...

He skipped the one part i wanted to check out, the impedance settings

[@OldtradesReviews]

not much info on it. Only 4 or 6 ohm

[@drummerdoingstuff5020]

You generally wanna run 6 and higher on most receivers although a decent receiver can handle 4ohms no problem as long as you don’t crank it or play loud for long because it tends to run your amps hotter, I have added fans sucking the hot air out the top and have never had one issue on my Onkyo.

И в чём причина я не знаю. Остальные форматы долби и простой dts проигрывает нормально. Ресивер onkyo rz730.
