Yamaha DSP-A1

[beamer7311]

<font color='#000000'>I recently purchased a dsp-a1 and I am having a hard time fine tuning it.  What happens is when music comes into the movie it gets to loud. Screams actually. What settings on the amp control this? The manual is good but it doesnt explain a lot of things like the setting for room size, what will bring you the best bass levels. I have Energy C-7 towers, Energy center, and Klipsch SS.1 for rear surround. No sub. I have gotten good bass to come out of the fronts but have now lost it messing with the setting trying to figure out what causses the music during the movie to all of the sudden scream. I have the surround as in glass breaking, gun shots set to a good level and responding where they should.  The bass level on the front is up just about all the way and the treble set to about 2. . I have it set so the the mains and channles get the bass.

How do I get rid of the screaming loud music?
How do I get the good bass back?


Thanks..............</font>

<font color='#0000FF'>Do a sound test to see which speakers are sounding the loudest, adjust that accordingly. I suspect it would be the front mains. Follow Gene's excellent set up advice but you have to get yourself a SPL meter.

For lost bass set the speaker selection for sub out to main only and set your speaker type to large.

Good luck.</font>

<font color='#000000'>Something that has alway's helped me is the &quot;Process of Elimination&quot;. Have 2 Yamaha's and if I recall correctly the A-1 has &quot;Effect's&quot; outputs for front and rear speakers....may take a look at the setting's even if your not running no speaker's from those outlet's. It has been a very long time away from &quot;Music/Power A/V&quot; so forgive me if I'm wrong.....just reading the Manual on the old R-V1105 is a task within itself.
&nbsp;Have found several other similar site's that have very useful advise as well - utilize all available resources such as the first reply. Another thought is the various sound field's in each different mode setting such as &quot;Movie Theater&quot;....Theater-1 and Theater-2, 70 mm Theater...Mono and so on. If it only scream's on a certain setting during a DVD vs FM Stereo then maybe this is a place to start working from.</font>
