[Cash]

i asked bro GundamUnicorn in Avdisco website if he has the same issue just like mine, his set is fine...
his firmware is the latest.

5900-1120-8015-1470

Yahoo!!!

its kinda weird that the "first 4 numbers are “5000”
the initial factory firmware is “5300” n GundamUnicorn’s firmware is “5900”
Now with the latest firmware its numbered as “5000”
Hehehehe!!
Masimo should go back to school and learn about “Numerals”!!
hehehehehe.

Just got a update for the Denon X3800H, at 0215hrs...
Was watching "Tetris" on Apple TV on my tv, when all of a sudden the Audio got cut off..
Then I looked at the Denon Front Display and saw the "Update in progress"

Funny.
How could a programmer wrote a piece of thing we put into toilet bowl !

Update the firmware when the system was fully aware that user was using it

okie guy's...
i have a "Dirac Calibration Mic" which was included free with my Nad C658 BluOS Streaming DAC..
out of curiosity, i plugged in this mic into the Denon X3800H to do the Audyssey Calibration.
it worked much better than the "Included Audyssey Mic for the Denon"
The "Dirac Mic is Omni-Directional as i understand"

Time for party!

i dont understand these graph's....
Hehehehe!!
is it ok?
any "Graph Reader's" care to explain?

i followed the 8 point "Different Location" as set by Audyssey...
and these were the results after using the Nad Dirac Calibration Mic.

Both are Omni's.

We won't know if the Dirac mic performs the same as the Denon mic or not.

I recommend to use the mic that came with your AVR. The AVR calibration algorithm is designed to be used with the supplied mic.

oop's.... okie.
hehehe!!
how's the Graph's by the way?
Any good?

Those graphs are similar to the REW charts I did for u sometime back.
They show the frequency response.
The X-axis at the bottom shows the frequencies.
The Y-axis at the left shows the magnitude in dB.
Basically the AVR try to flatten the curve (reduce the peak/valleys) by auto-adjusting it's internal EQ.

I think u remember the wheep-wheep sound you heard when I measured last time.
The AVR should be doing the same, except that the AVR is doing more by figuring out what/where to EQ.

 

[Cash]

ah... it's like so different in all these graph's...
all over the place..
hehehehe!!

 

[boxerfan88]

oop's.... okie.
hehehe!!
how's the Graph's by the way?
Any good?

Err... very hard to say... coz I donno if those charts are before auto-adjustment, or after auto-adjustment?
Me think ... as long as sound good to your ears ... can lah ...

FYI: I am not familiar with Audyssey... me use Yamaha YPAO.

 

[Cash]

u free today buddy? wanna come n do calibration for me?
will pay u of course.
Your the Champion for graphs (looking at how you tune your Neumann Speakers)

That's why I cannot comment.

If the graph is before EQ, it is quite normal to see variations. This because it is capturing the frequency response of that speaker plus room reflections, reflection off furniture, etc...

If the graph is after EQ, then it isn't so good.

Anyhow, I do recommend u calibrate with the supplied mic...
