I used to adjust everything all the time. Now I have a Polk SRT system and everything sounds good. Audio usually sounds better in "effect off" but I sometimes listen in "Jazz/ cellar club" or "Rock/warehouse". Names may be a little off I did not go look Im guessing from memory. I am using a Sunfire Cinema Grande for power and all Kimber 8TC for speaker wire. I use Phoenix Gold for interconnects. The worst part about the 3090 is no balanced in/outputs. It is a great unit but I will probably move up in a year or so to just a pre-amp with my cinema grande.
Yamaha DSP-3090
Just got a Yamaha DSP-3090. Anyone running this and do you have any advice on best set up procedures? It has had the MSB DTS upgrade. I am used to changing the volume of the rear surround speakers because of material encoded differently on laser dics and dvds. Manual says to set and forget. I just hooked this up and am going thru a very exstensive set menu. Other 3090 ownwers, let's talk.
