Excellent demonstration! I've had this unit a couple years. Was a little intimidated by all the setting options, so had only dabbled a bit. Copied your settings (yes, it's subjective, but I too like deep bass and crisp details) and am REALLY impressed. I had not switched to GEQ at all, not really knowing the difference in leaving the default set, but being able to customize the EQ is a tremendous asset. I was already using the Sound Enhancer and Adaptive DRC... had also previously boosted the rear and center channel outputs, but bumping the fronts to full (with center and rears nearly full), along with the EQ and Tone adjustments (treble & bass up) really makes it SING! Thank you!
Thank you!
UPDATED comment after a month... Gotta say I'm really enjoying this unit's output now (thank you!), and just wanted to share some further tweaks I made: Want to add a suggestion that fixed my chief complaint with this and other units, of not being able to clearly hear the spoken words... adjusting Dialogue Level up to the max +3 (Dialogue is seen under the Sound the menu in your video at 5:05) alleviates this, by boosting the dialogue track, especially when using a center speaker (coupled with your EQ settings for crisp treble, those soft spoken words are easy to understand). After copying your EQ and Sound level settings I made a couple of subjective adjustments with the four front/rear speakers at +10 and Center at 7.5 (it was overbearing when using the 5.1 audio presets when set any higher). I left the Subwoofer at center level as I prefer simply using the manual adjustment knob on the rear, and supplementing Bass with the Extra Bass toggle button on the remote (when needed). With that, I think I've found the near-perfect settings (for me) and couldn't have gotten there without your video, so thank you!! Also, am curious what you and others find as their "go-to" preset sound programs. After fussing with them endlessly I've come up with a few main favorites, depending on the "source audio" (e.g. some programming is only created in mono or two channel stereo, like my local newscasts, while others arrive in full full 5.1 surround). My fav, when the source audio provides true 5.1 audio (most newer movies, Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, etc), is DSP Surround Program setting "MOVIE - Spectacle." For music my go-to is "Cellar Club" ... and if the source is not true 5.1 I'll switch the sound Program to "5 Channel Stereo" (if I had to pick ONLY ONE it would be this one, but I enjoy the true 5.1 modes when the source provides it). Another note, It's easy to assign presets for these on the remote by press/holding one of the four white buttons at the top of the remote. Again, many thanks!
So sorry for the late response. Thank you for your "input", (audio pun LOL). Great info btw. Yeah, What you said made a lot of sense. I forgot to go over dialog leveling. I actually do not use a center channel speaker. I find that the main speakers do a fine job of phantom center. Center channel speakers are very easy to get wrong. It has to match your main speakers perfectly. But maybe I will one day get center speakers.
I was very unhappy with the RX-V385BL enamic sound. Thanks to you instruction to active the " enhancer" and the " DCR", the RX-V385BL sounds so wonderful driving my Klipsch RP-600M. The difference is like day and night, indeed. Thank you for sharing.
You are welcome.
what is ENAMIC sound ?
@@jmdds I don't know if anemic is the right word to describe it. It at times sounds lifeless and yet the bass is very boomy.
Thank you so much for showing this! I consider the equalizer to be the most important feature in a receiver/amplifier! Hope they'll add more settings for under 63 Hz.
Thank you for your feed back!
Love your settings, must be a drummer 😊
thank!!! I'm not a drummer, just a listener. LOL
Nice job! I couldn't find any documentation about the center frequencies for the GEQ, even in the manual. Now that I see them here, I'm inclined buy one. Thanks.
Your a Legend!! Thankyou so much for all the info!!, I have the model below yours rx-v383 just got it today new hooked it up, the option button mentioned adaptive DRC turned on fixed the low vocal/high sound effects issue for movies as my previous htr-3063 didn't have this issue, possibly solved by previous owner.. Your added equalizer/settings overall has enhanced the sound greatly over standard!! thanksman Godbless ✌
Thank you for your comment. :-)
Thanks. That was a big help. I was almost ready to offload my receiver but this video changed it for me 😊
Thanks for watching! Glad it was helpful. :-)
There should be a link to this video in the box and eliminate the ,mike that is supposed to set everything up. Night and day change after setting up manually like you. Thanks
Thanks!
Hi, there's an extra bass button on the remote, is that improve the bass better or the manual bass treble adjust is better? Or both.
Opting for extra bass through the menu adds to the bass you manually set with the knob.
@@SubUrbanNinja-EDC Thanks for the reply!
Does the receiver will auto detect the absence of the center speaker or you need to manually set it to none on the setting?
You have to go and set it to virtual center channel and it has extra adjustments for spacials.
@@SubUrbanNinja-EDC it mean that go to speaker>config>center then there an option to set large, small and none by pressing left or right button on the remote?
Small and large refer to I believe your speaker size. If you go to virtual center, you can choose by how far apart your main speakers are.
It is good video. Pl make detailed long video. It is apply for both Music n Movi. What abt center speakers. Abt EQ no video or information on google. Nice
Thank you.
How do you get urs on the screen mine only shows on my receiver display
You have to use the HDMI main out from your receiver to your main HDMI input on your TV.
Thks alot bro I got it the way I want it now
Thank you so much. Sounds great!, now
Thanks for letting me know.
At least the Yam. menu looks of a decent graphic quality. Unlike Denon's menu which has the graphical quality of a device from the 80's. But Denon has a 9 bands equalizer while Yamaha has only 7. There is the downside of the Yamaha.
I had a Denon before this Yamaha. I got the Denon because the guy at Best Buy told me Denon had more power and they made better receivers. He was technically right as the Denon had 10 more watts of power. 10 watts however is nowhere near enough to make any difference in power handling or sound delivery. Watts usually have to near double for anybody to even benefit from the difference. With the Denon, I used Bose speakers and with this Yamaha, I am using JBL. Maybe it has more to do with speakers than the receivers but this Yamaha setup I have here sounds way better. I truly believe Yamaha sound processing is better.
It should also have Parametric Equalizer PEQ in the menu. I don't see it.
Of you go to the EQ you will see at very top which will allow you to switch from geq to peq...
How do you get to those settings on tv? I have an lg tv but when i use the Yamaha remote it shows up on the receiver not the tv itself .
You have to take the HDMI out cable from your receiver to one HDMI input on your TV. Then turn your TV to that Input.
This might sound like a stupid question, but how do I get the on screen display to show up on the TV?
You want to hook all your HDMI cables from your blu ray player, game system, fire stick etc to your receiver. And there is one HDMI port that is an out put port. Hook that one to the tv. Everytime you turn on one of your devices, the tv will diplay it.
I’ve had mine for a while and still have the same problem. When I hit the setup button, nothing comes onto the tv screen. Any suggestions? TIA
Do you have your TV and reciever connected correcrly via HDMI cable?
@@SubUrbanNinja-EDC yup. I tried reversing, the plugs and changed to a different cable. Both HDMI cables are older so I ordered a new high speed ARC (I’ve heard different opinions on ARC) cable that should be here Friday. We’ll see. Thx for the input.
Heyy I have a weird noise is like a little treble like a squick sound how can I fix that?
Make sure all your speaker wire connections are properly and securely connected. If nothing is wrong with your speakers, go to tone controls and EQ to lower your treble settings. If problem persist, take the receiver back to where you bought it. If they do not exchange it, call Yamaha/warranty dept. Number should be on warranty card.
I have the same thing. But I don’t have each speaker placed around the room. They’re all infront of tv, how do you set it up so it’s not surround sound based??
Push "Setup" on remote.
Then push "Speaker".
Then push "configuration".
Then move arrow key to left or right on "Power Amp Assign" to "bi-amp".
This will send sound to all speakers equally.

Thank you man....
i have a early 2000`s sony av reciever,i cant lower or raise and individual band,allthough there is a band high lighted,i cant switch to another band
Sometimes you have to chose "custom" or "manual" setting to access equalizers.
Does the remote control for this receiver control other devices such as a TV or DVD player?
Yes. I control my fire stick with it because i have the fire stick directly plugged into the receiver.
@@SubUrbanNinja-EDC thanks for getting back. What about a tv or dvd player?
@@JimboSlyce Yes..it designation buttons for TV, BD/DVD, CD, and the Receiver radio.
Thanks again. Can’t wait to get it. Should be here by Thursday.
Thank you
Thank you for watching.
its funny that the freq that gives you listening fatigue is the same freq of a human voice /400hz / 😄
Haha...good one.
No remote?
I got a smart tv. And I pretty much gave up.
LOL
@@SubUrbanNinja-EDC Pushing 10 buttons. To get to 1 channel.
@@Seouldrift7 yeah, I know. Thats how they made they made it...
@@SubUrbanNinja-EDC But had to cut the cable spending. Not that I watch much T.V. anyway. But still it was easier to do. So now I mainly just use it to play a game.
@@Seouldrift7 there are alot of good free over the air tv channels and with a smart tv, you can watch a few internet tv channels like pluto. Also with a Fire Stick you can download apps that allow you to watch cable tv channels for free.
Why do I lose all sound from the receiver when I unplugged the optical sound cable but I have also have the HDMI plugged into the HDMI out of the receiver and he other end is plugged in the HDMI ARC on the LG TV ??
Are you getting picture?
You said one can adjust the BASS and TREBLE manually on the receiver somewhere but where ?? look at 6.10 minutes on the video.Next I believe the sound enhancer should be ON by default
There is a "Tone Control" button. Press it once for treble and twice for bass, and then use the "Program" directional button to lower or raise.
