* I have updated the EQ filter in the above link such that it will use different Q factors for the last two EQ bands and gain steps will automatically be optmized in multiples of 0.5dB same as the recievers do so no need to round down/up and the optimization will be a better match!
Full details of the Marantz / Denon graphic equalizer filters (Q factors of the last two EQ bands are different than shown in the video (1 octave) - it seems they have taken some shortcuts due to 32kHz internal processing)

** You cannot use REW's "Check levels" for Atmos channels. Playing test tones (also pink noise) from the receiver is useless as it bypasses any correction (Audyssey or manual). So, here is a ".mp4" file that can generate 9.1.6 pink noise to adjust all speaker volume levels with the correction active:
***10dB SUbwoofer SPL level difference is coming from the Dolby LFE channel boost standard. If you send a signal to a sub channel with the highest frequency lower than 250-300Hz then the level will be boosted by 10dB. For normal range (20-20,000Hz) the SPL level will not be boosted.
****If you can't see the chirp in the impulse response, it's because your system has no crosstalk between channels (cleaner than my system). In that case, you need to meaure the distance from your centre speaker to LP manually, key it in and then follow the video instructions for the rest of the speaker distances. Luckily almost all receievers have that problem!

Quick tip to check your AV receiver's speed of sound setting: If your receiver is connected to your home network, you can easily check its "speed of sound" setting by clicking on this link: https://https://192.168.0.229:10443/ajax/speakers/get_config?type=4 (use your receiver's own IP address in your home network instead of '192.168.0.229') If the response is 'm2fconvert ratio3000' then your SoS is set at 300m/s If it is 'm2fconvert ratio3048' then your receiver's up to date and SoS is set at 343m/s.

This is how to add "Harman Kardon (Harmon) Target Curve" to your results if you so wish:
1. Download the .txt Harmon curve from the link below 2. Drop the .txt file on to REW 3. AxB (trace arithmetic) multiply that with each of the "1/A" filters 4. Export the new multiplication results (instead of the usual 1/A 's) as your new left and right speaker convolution filters

Not only it'll eliminate all the suboptimal Audyssey adjustments like steep high frequency roll off, excessive "Dynamic EQ surround speaker boost", inaccurate speaker distance, and inaccurate crossover settings but will also keep "Dynamic EQ" on and benefit from its potential to adjust speaker responses to target level at different volume levels. Only MultEQ Editor app is required, no MultEQ-X necessary.

* Don't forget to download the zip file in the link below which contains all the measurement and calibration files used in the video as well as continuous updates/revisions to the method.
Digital room correction is a process that involves analyzing the acoustics of a listening space and applying equalization to the audio signal in order to improve the overall sound quality.
The goal was to design a digital room correction method which would make this process more accessible and affordable for the average consumer by offering a solution using totally free tools. The techniques explained have the potential to significantly improve your listening experience.
Remember to download the zip file below to access to the latest revisions and updates to the method, the VBA Optimizer Excel file, the "full collection" of REW, rePhase, txt and convolution files I've used during the full calibration of my system:
