Audyssey

[Bradcny]

I have a brand new Onkyo R980 and I see that one feature is an Audyssey setup/calibration microphone. While I realize that this feature is simply meant as a starting reference level from which further tweaking takes place, I'd like to know exactly what it tweaks. Does it adjust volume levels or something else?

Your particular model has Audyssey 2EQ.

Actually its meant to do everything. If you follow the directions, it should do everything needed. I ran the one in my Denon, and then double-checked it with my meter and it was spot on.....Sorry, you are correct that it may not cover everything. I was thinking a new model would be at least MUltiEQ XT....

Bradcny - You're done once you get all your measurements. No need to tweak.
