Multi-channel input level settings

[TL5]

I need some help calibrating my system for DVD-A/SA-CD. I have an Integra 9.1U2 receiver, and a Pioneer DV-47A DVD player. When I play a DVD-A or SA-CD, I find the bass excessive unless I turn the sub down about -6 in the multichannel level settings. Why should this be if my sub was carefully calibrated through the set up menu? Do these settings not apply to the multichannel inputs? What is the best way to calibrate these inputs so what I am hearing is accurate?
Thanks,

Patrick

Welcome to the world of having a HT receiver! :sh: When you have a 2 channel stereo, once it is calibrated life is just sweet. 8) Unfortunately with these receivers these problems occur. I am not aware of the specs for your bass mangement system but most new receivers (Integras, Rotels etc)have a separate setting for each source so that you need not play around with the bass each and every time.

For calibration you have to play it by ear. For me I like my bass when I have a soundstage and not neccessarily thumping in my chest.

Hope this helps!

The multi-channel input is a pass-through; no controls or settings (except volume) have any effect on the signals inputted there. Bass management, speaker distance and channel trim must all be done BEFORE the signals get to the RDC-7.

Not true. On the RDC-7 the bass and treble settings can be changed for the multi-channel input.

Right-o! My mistake. Volume, bass and treble, but nuttin' else.
