Oops, Double post, but I did flip the page... Coincidence? Let the conspiracy theories fly.

Jed is correct. But Boscofats asks if this is complicated to do. Here's my experience with adjusting the subwoofer level on the 950.

You've got to press AUD and then TRIM on the remote something like 8 times to change the subwoofer volume. If you press TRIM once too often or once to few times, you'll be affecting something besides the subwoofer volume. You can create a macro do the 8 TRIM button presses but with a macro the remote sends the instructions rather slowly to the 950, so you have to wait (and wait it seems) before you can increase or decrease the sub level. Maybe it can be done less slowly on some other remote than the one that comes with the 950, but on the 950's remote, it's slow.
On many other pre/pro's and receivers you only have to press a button or two on the remote, and no macro is needed, in order to adjust (without waiting) the subwoofer level.

It takes me around 5 seconds to get to where I need to adjust the sub trim. The number of buttoms can be reduced if you go the revearse way through some of the menus. However this will only save you a second or two. To me it is not that huge of an inconvience.

I can do it

Hey Ricky,

Since I'm in the same boat as you, let me know what you come up with re fixing your sound in 2 channel.

When you were at Will's house, did you swap in your 950 to see if it was doing the same in Will's set up?

Also did you listen to the 950 at relatively low volumes at Wills house? I find that the 950 does open up at higher than polite listening levels. But at medium to lower levels is where I find the sound severly constricted, and where I do most of my listening..

HT,

Ricky didn't bring his 950 to my house. If he wants to come back and bring his own 950, he's certainly welcome to do so, but I think he and Scott are already close to a solution.

Will

HT,

Yeah, I could definitely hear a huge difference between Will's system and mine even and relatively low volumes. I didnt get a change to bring my 950 because I still had a lot of places to go that day. I will definitely let you know how it goes.

Thanks again Will,
Ricky

I've found that rather than bother with the complicated task of changing the subwoofer level, it's much easier to use the tone control to bring the bass up or down. Plus, assuming you leave the sub at a calibrated level that matches the mains/satellites, using the tone control will produce a much more even frequency response curve. If you goose or cut the sub too far, you're creating a big swing in response at the crossover point.

Wow,

This is depressing. I returned my 950 because the second one just didn't sound "right" (I had my first one replaced). I was experiencing many of the same things Ricky and HTcrazed were, especially in stereo mode. It now looks as if both units I received were defective. Thats a bummer because I really liked many of the features.

Oh well, maybe I'll buy again if they ever get this stuff sorted out.

Mike

so has it been determined that the bass problem in 2 channel experienced by these 2 is defective and not inherent in the 950 design? heck, i'll just keep my denon receiver and buy a high end pre-amp with a surround processor loop! the 950 on paper looks great, but since i'm combining music and ht into one system, like most 950 purchasers, 2 channel audio is very important.
