My surround speakers are too loud. I have adjusted the speaker level, speaker distance and surround level but none of these seem to change. When i go back into menu it does reflect the changes but doesn't sound different. Any suggestions?

i regret to inform you - there is several thousand manufacturers of the surround sound systems... which one you wish to install and connect?

front speakers should be located about two human heights distance between them and on the height of the human...

rear speakers should be similarly located on the back of the listener.

subwoofer should be on about knee level above the floor, directly on the front, or if on the back - it should be on the floor level

twitter should be about waist level above the floor on the front, if on the back, it should be about head level.

minimal distance from the speakers to the listener should be about human height...

hope this will help you - do not forget to vote...

IF ALL WIRES ARE CORRECTLY BEEN SETUP OR INSTALLED THEN THE NEXT STEP IS TO CONFIGURE THE SYSTEM TO WORK ON ALL SPEAKERS...

Before the setup of the speakers' channels

• Press the SURR. button on the remote to select multichannel surround mode before adjusting the speaker settings.
• In case of sound distortion, press and hold the SOUND button to select another transmission channel for the wireless rear speakers.

Setting Speakers' Channels

1. Press to stop playback, then press SYSTEM MENU.
2. Press repeatedly to select { Audio Setup Page }.
3. Press to highlight { Speaker Setup Page }, then press .
   
   
4. Enter its submenu by pressing .
5. Press to highlight one of the options below at a time, then press .
   
   
   • { Speakers Volume } – Volume level setting for individual speakers (-6dB – +6dB).
     
     
   • { Speakers Delay } – Delay times setting in relation to the listening position/ distance for centre and surround speakers.
     
     
6. Press to adjust to the setting that best suit your surround sound needs.
7. Press OK to confirm.

Notes:

• 1 ms increase/decrease of delay time is equivalent to 30 cm change in distance. Use the longer delay time settings when the rear speakers are closer to the listener than the front speakers.
• The test tone will automatically be generated to help you judge the sound level of each speaker.

It could be your receiver but you can try seeing if the Woofer has a input knob at the back, maybe this down, or maybe.if possible turn down the amount going to the woofer with your receiver.

You seem to be confusing the power of the Receiver with the impedance. Watts is how much power or how loud it can go. While ohms is the impedance of the device. The receiver will have an lowest ohms setting for it's speakers. For example if it says 4 ohm you can connect any speaker of 4 ohms and above to it. However if it said 8 ohms then you should not connect any speaker lower than that.
Each channel will have it's own power level measured in Watts. Some units have the same level for all channels, others have different levels for the channels. You can connect any speaker that has a wattage greater than the channel's total max power. If you connect say a 50 watt speaker to a 70 watt amp, it will work, but you must never take the volume to even near the max or it will blow the speaker.
Anything with a mono soundtrack will only decode on the left and right channels. Unless the unit has something like an all channels setting. So the unit seems to be working fine. Mono films have no surround effects applied to them, so the indications are simply showing they are working. They of course feed no surround to other channels, as none are present.

Most movies are mixed at a much lower volume than CD's because there is a THX standard of 85dB which allows for greater headroom. The amount you have to turn up the gain on your amp is relative to the sensitivity of your speakers and the distance you are from them; every time you double the distance from your speaker you lose 6dB.
Most stock surround sound speakers have a lower sensitivity, meaning less SPL per watt/meter distance.

Some sound fields have reverberant effects that need adjusting so the levels become audible, such as in "stadium" mode. While playing one of these sound fields, navigate through the speaker setup menu and make adjustments to the "effects" percentage, and levels. Be aware however, that only in 4 channel stereo mode will your surround speakers produce sound 100% of the time. Also, in any form of Dolby Pro Logic mode you will hear more sound from the surround speakers originating from stereo source material than from monoaural material...example, a television station broadcast in stereo versus mono.

Nice Receiver!
>In your surround sound settings make sure the levels are set correctly and the distance from your listing point to the furtherest
speakers are set to accommodate the levels etc.
>How many speakers 5.1, 6.1, or 7.1 (1meaning subwoofer)
>Pro-Logic supports 5.1 but not sure about 6 or 7
>Pro-Logic II does support all
>Make sure you are hear the sound from all sometimes the sound is really faint if you are in surround mode

Thank You and good luck

I'd make sure that the receiver surround mode is set for one of the digital settings, such as Dolby Digital or DTS, and make sure that you have the center channel level adjusted to a level similar to the other two front channel speakers. I've seen/heard this happening when using dolby digital material & having surround set on something like 'hall' or 'stadium' or dolby surround, where only 4 channels are used & the amp has to 'mix' sounds to the left & right front speakers. It'll often sound like the actors on screen are talking out of the bottom of a barrel, with a hollow & tinny character to the voices.

try pushing the stop button for five seconds to reset the tuner.

The on-screen menu appears only when the selected source is DVD or VCD on the DVD/VCD/CD player and the disc is in the slot and NOT PLAYING. On the remote control ONLY: 1. Press CHOICE (it should work now) LANGUAGE menu appears. 2 Press Cursor to move to the menu you want? which is AUDIO Selected item changes its color to green. THEN: 1. Display EXPERT SPEAKER SETTING menu. 2. Press Cursor to select ?TEST TONE,? then press ENTER. ?TEST TONE? changes its color to green and test tone comes out of in the following sequence?left front speaker, center speaker, right front speaker, right rear speaker, and left rear speaker. ? Test tone is output only when the tray loaded with a DVD is selected, but not playing. 3. Press Cursor to move to ?C.SPK? LEVEL? or ?R.SPK?LEVEL,? then press ENTER. 4. Press Cursor to adjust the output level, then press ENTER. ? You can adjust the output level from ??6 dB? to ?+6 dB.? 5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 to adjust the other speaker output level. 6. Press Cursor to select ?TEST TONE,? then press ENTER. Test tone stops. 7. When finished, press Cursor to move to ?EXIT,? then press ENTER. EXPERT SPEAKER SETTING menu disappears. I hope this helps you, please let us know. Best regards, nightdiver
