My daughter is in Earth Sciences- Water (Hydrogeology I think) . We think she made a smart choice with all this talk of impending fresh water shortages.
I reset the levels and distances manually but was still having problems with booming base ( the sub channel was set to -15) and it was still too loud and pounding. I retried the auto set up using Trevor's suggestion of a towel over the leather couch. What a difference! The treble is there and the booming base is gone. The distances came in accurately. The dialogue is now coming out of the screen smoothly and clear, sucess!
