bismarck Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 I sold a yamaha HTR-5990 to a friend tonight and went over after work to set it all up. Personally, I think the auto cal. mic is a great feature, so i pluged it in, hit "start", and I sat back only to have my ears rocked and to see an error message. The reciever was setting speaker size/distance and sent out a series of increasingly loud test tones to the front left speaker. Then after a ridiculously loud tweeter melting test tone it showed an error that it could not sense any sound from the front left speaker, and the speaker was obviously working. I would assume that the mic is broken. Any other ideas as to whats going on?ps. I had a gentleman come in tonight that was very adimant to tell me Bose was the best speaker made, but that Klipsch came in close second...I sold him Klipsch.

Fish Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 I assume you've double checked all connections so...can you reset the avr back to factory settings or manually calibrate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arky Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 Yeah do you have access to a spl meter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bismarck Posted January 7, 2007 Author Share Posted January 7, 2007 I have an spl meter but i didn't want to take the time to set everything. I also want to use the EQ with the mic. to adjust for room acoustics and it has an EQ for each speaker. Iforgot to mention that the mic is actually from the 5890 and Iam using it on the 5990, do you think that is the problem? Should I try contacting Yamaha, or would tha tbe a waste of time?

oldbuckster Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 I just got a 5890 and I find it very hard to understand OWNERS MANUAL..........never mind trying to figure out EQ settings by using the microphone included.......................

bismarck Posted January 7, 2007 Author Share Posted January 7, 2007 I think Iam going to actually find the mic for the 5990 and see if that makes a difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arky Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 Aren't those mics universal across the Yamaha line? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bismarck Posted January 8, 2007 Author Share Posted January 8, 2007 I could be wrong but Ithought that the mic for the 5960 was shaped like a dome and the 5X90 line was like a tower. I could be wrong though. I do know that the 6090 has a new improved YPAO. Anyway, i order the mic just for the 5990 today and i will wait until that comes in and hopefully that is the problem, and if not, any suggestions on where to go?

DrWho Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 I would try the correct mic and see where that gets you... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
