The stereo receiver can now be calibrated since I can hook it up to the TV to see what’s going on (and, well, I really don’t have much else to look at on the TV since Dish guy is still three weeks out). I ran the auto-calibration thing and noticed all kinds of weird stuff I was just blissfully living with before. First of all, the rear speakers were backwards (right was left and left was right). Second, the receiver seems to think that one or both of the rears is also wired out-of-phase. You’d think I’d be able to hear that, but then I missed the far more obvious right/left mix-up. You’d also think that the guys I hired to run my rear speaker cables would know right from left. Hell, they even labeled the wires wrong.
So, do I bother trying to fix it? And more importantly, how would I know if I did?
