robforst1 Posted October 13, 2002 Share Posted October 13, 2002 I have everything set-up for 5.1 channel now. However, it seems like there is barely any sound coming out of the rear speakers. There is about 25 feet from the front to rear. How do I figure out how much (and how) to adjust the volume on my rear channel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fabulousfrankie Posted October 13, 2002 Share Posted October 13, 2002 This should be of help, although he doesn't mention about the test tones in your receiver if you don't want to buy a calibration disc. http://www.hometheaterforum.com/htforum/showthread.php?&postid=650553#post650553 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orange Peel Posted October 13, 2002 Share Posted October 13, 2002 Just up the db's on the receiver for the rear channels, that should make the sound a little louder. Don't over crank them so they don't sound as one with the rest of the system. An SPL meter is IDEAL in this situation. But for starters maybe up them about 3-5 db's, so on the receiver you'll see for the rear left and rear right +4 db's. That should be a decent start until you can get a SPL meter.

Orange Peel Posted October 13, 2002 Share Posted October 13, 2002 Forgot to add, that the Yamaha should have some kind of SPL calibration to it I would guess, does the remote have a built in SPL meter deal? My HK AVR 520 has a SPL calibration in the remote, not the best way to do it but better than nothing. Check the manual and see if it has an auto calibration where it sets it automatically for you.
