Frequently Asked Questions

Why are the delay values not matching up to what the Impulse Response view showed they should be during the DL filter design process? (Onkyo devices)

If you select all speakers in the impulse response view (ctrl+ left click) it can be seen how large the delay of the subwoofer is.

The after response shows how Dirac Live would want to align the speakers. This will however not be possible due to the 20ms limitation.

The maximum 20 ms delay is assigned by the manufacturer and unfortunately, we cannot help with that, Onkyo needs to change this.

Solution:

In the firmware on Onkyo devices there was a set limit on 20ms. We pushed Onkyo about this since Onkyo users had complained about this famous "bug" in the system.

Through the new firmware this limit it set to 50ms and the problem was solved.

New Firmware

Under your Onkyo model you can find your firmware: AV Receivers | Onkyo USA

Onkyo has now updated these Dirac related fixes:

  • Raised the upper limit of the Dirac delay time from 20 msec to 50msec.

  • Improve mic curve characteristics of Dirac live for the mic used for
    Dirac live calibration. If already calibrated, then please recalibrate
    Dirac live after this update.

  • Add recovery process when Network Error occurs in Dirac

  • Fix the issue that Web Setup cannot be accessed
    depending on the measurement result of Dirac Live

Here you can find all fixes in this firmware release: Firmware Release info
