Well I was finally able to lower the bass when playing analog sources through the 6 channel outputs on my 45A. Lewis stated the level settings in the 950 control everything so decided to see if the bass level would go down in my sub when I adjusted with the 950 and sure enough it did. Thanks to...
As far as I know I can't adjust the levels of the 6 channel inputs in the 950 preamp itself. The channel level settings of the 950 are for digital sources only. Correct me if my wrong though.
Still no luck in adjusting the sub level in the 45A. I tried everything from -6dB to +6dB and the sub output still sounds the same to me when playing analog sources like DVD Audio or SACD. I also could not get the sub test tone to play in the player either. Oh well, at least I've got too much...
Brian, I agree with your last post about the large spk/sub on setting. This has to the correct way to the use the fixed 80Hz BM of the 950 when playing material from the 5.1 analog outputs of the 45A.
Brian, My speakers are definitely set on large and sub on in the player. I will also double check the 5.1 setting and the fixed/variable. I'll see what happens tonight. Thanks.
Brian, Thanks for the additional information. I'm not really that concerned about the accuracy of the tone. I just want to be able to turn down the level of the sub when using the analog outs. So far, adjusting the sub level in the player is having no effect on the sub. I also read the review...
Kevin, I tried to engage the test tone for the sub in the 45A but you can't do that. It only puts out test tones for the other speakers. I am going to see if I can adjust the levels for the other speakers using the players adjustments. My sub level is just too high when playing DVD Audio or SACDs.
Thanks Kevin, The 6 channel direct is engaged for sure but I have not used any of the test tones in the player itself, just the ones on my calibration disc. I'll try what you suggested. Thanks again.
I just got my Pioneer DV-45A yesterday and everythings sounds fine with DVD Audio and SACD except that I can't seem to control the sub level in the player. I am using the test tones from Sound & Vision's HT Tuneup disc and the sub level on my sound meter reads the same no matter where I set the...
