ARGHHH........ sigh.

I had a Denon mystery model for years that died on me (and killed a tweeter in the process) and I bought a new Anthem MRX 740 to replace it. It's fairly high end, seems to work fine etc, except that it is frustrating as fuck to you use. It is endlessly complicated.

Anyway here's where I am stuck:

All the channels sound fine except for the center channel, which sounds like it is EQ'ed wrong. The high frequency end sounds like it is too high, making voices sound really unrealistic, with not alot of mid-low end at all.

This is after doing the Automatic Room Correction (ARC) with the microphone and funky sounds...

There has to be a way to adjust the curve, but I cann't freaking find it. Not in the manual, not in forums, not in the ARC software and not when when connected to it via my laptop.

My Denon had a mode called "Cinema EQ" which basicaly rolled-off the high ends making movies sounds great by getting rid of the high-end "shrilly" sound, but the Anthem doesn't have that function. A simple tweak of the EQ would fix it but dammit I can't find it.

Any help is appreciated!
