Guys, kindly share your steps in adjusting or calibrating your HT gears. I don't know if I am doing correctly or I am missing some steps. Here's how I did mine:
1. Manually adjusted all the the speakers to 80 Hz as per THX recommendations and at 0 db.
2. Adjusted the LPF of LFE at 120 hz from the receiver
3. Adjusted the subwoofer's volume knob to half and the cut off frequency to 80 Hz
4. Plug the Audyssey mic to receiver and automatically run the calibration.
5. Checked the SPL reading using smartphone and all of the speakers are giving 91 db while sub was giving 81 db.
When I checked the speaker settings, they are no longer at 80 Hz; Left and Right speakers are now set at 40 Hz, while the surround speakers are now at 60 Hz.
Here are my questions:
1. Should I leave the speakers with that setting or should I adjust it back to 80 Hz setting?
2. If I will counter check my settings using a smartphone's SPL meter, should I get same db reading for all speakers for me to say that the speakers are now calibrated?
I might be doing it the wrong way, kindly recommend the correct steps for calibrating the HT. Thanks
