Now the fun begins. I tried to go through the Odessey setup today and ran into a few glitches. Yes, I know, theres a good setup thread on avsforum (which I will track down), but I wanted to do a quick setup to get me started while I figure this manual out.
On the first run I had no sub or center because of connection issues. I got those cleared up, but audessey is still not detecting my sub (I think).
I am expecting rumbly sounds during autodetect, but hear nothing. I took my BFD out of the loop and set the volume to the 12 oclock position and still nothing. I set up the speakers manually and tested with a movie. Everything in the chain works just fine and I get rumbly stuff out of the sub.
Any suggestions?

You hear absolutely nothing from the sub? With audyssey, the sound emmitted by the sub is not what you would think, it is a realy faint popping sound at a low frequency. I would think if it was not emmitting a sound, the mic would give you an error on the display screen that it was not detected.

Are you getting any output from the sub, try playing something 5.1 just to check that it’s working and getting a signal. When I move to the house I freaked out because nothing came out of the sub when I ran test tones. Turned out I hooded up to the line out rather than the line in on the sub.
Also I’m not sure since It’s been a while since I’ve run it but you might have to set the subwoofer to “yes” in the setup menu.

Dean. Yeah, I confirmed with some 5.1 material and everything in the chain works just fine.
Maybe I'm just not hearing the faint popping? I guess I'll let it run all the way through and see what it sets up.

The bass pops are kinda cool. Anyway...
Woohooooo!! I'm back in business. I celibrated with a little Dave Brubeck live in the UK and some Bach organ suites. Oh, and a little Mster and Cmmander to see how the whole thing was dialed in. Sounded damn good!
Right now the fronts are set to full (I forgot to put them to small) center is small crossed at 60Hz (surprising because this is their -3db point) surrounds are small crossed at 150Hz.

Are those the settings that Audyssey gave you Fred, or have you made some changes to them?

Nope, not yet. The only thing I did was turn off Odyssey and re-engage my BFD. I will be starting a thread on one interesting observation.
