After performing the auto speaker calibration and selecting a setting ("Full Flat" for example), this setting is not stored.
When I switch the receiver off and on again, the speaker calibration setting is ignored, although it still says "Full Flat" in the menu. The sound is as if it was set to "Off".
I need to manually set the setting to "Off" and to "Full flat" to hear the correct speaker calibration.
My receiver has been sent off by my retailer now to the service centre. Enclosed with the unit was a link to this thread in the hope the centre takes the time to understand the issue and doesn’t simply see that the unit ‘says’ the setting is applied, when it is not in reality (I.e. they will need to actually listen).
I’m not holding my breath as unless the centre is going to be ‘tweaking’ code, I can’t see them fixing this.
I have asked that it be properly listened to taking account of the comments in this thread when work completed to see if issue is fixed. Though I can't see a third party repair centre wiring it up, calibrating, and then measuring the settings... We shall see.
If it comes back and it isn't fixed I will push with media outlets and try Sony again.
Shame we never heard back about the other individuals investigating this from Sony's side in this thread...
