New Dolby Atmos processor. Poor sound quality


I have just bought a new Dolby Atmos processor. Rather expensive . Launched recently.
And I hate the sound.
l have been used to  Bass and Treble tuning
The unit has for each of the 14 channels  : Frequency-Bandwidht-Gain-Crossover- Polarity.
I do not understand anything about that.
It doest not come with EQ Auto Corrector tuning. There will be an upgrade availlable in a few months ,at an extra cost of 2500$. It must be done by an autorised dealer.

Is it possible to make adjustement by myself to change the sound.
Or should I hire a audio tecnician .
l am from Canada and I have bought the processor directly from the US manufacturer. They do not have dealers in Canada. So , l can’t go and talk to my dealer as it should normaly be done.

Thanks

p.s.  This is a interview about tuning adjusment .

Nearly every custom project I’ve ever dealt with was based on the reality that the folks who are paying for these systems don’t have the time or inclination to learn all about custom install. They simply and rightly expect a reliable setup that functions flawlessly, is bulletproof, easily controlled and whose performance screams value and money well spent. This is why the recent push for do-it-yourself smart home products baffled me, because it goes against the grain of the true value-add that an excellent integrator brings to the scene. Even the simplest do-it-yourself setup is too complicated for most of the customers I’ve dealt with. Whether it is Nest, Sonos or Harmony remote controls, my clients could never be bothered with anything more than basic instructions involving as few button pushes as possible.

can someone explain to me why whenver I ran any sort of EQ, it just made my listening sweet spot smaller, and the bass really messed up if you stood up? sort of like it applied some kind of effect where the bass was really loud as if my head was at the back of the room.
@d2girls - this is pretty much the same experience I had when I was trying to get Dirac room control setup.  It does funny things to the phasing and frequency response so that the audio sounds like it's in your head instead of way out in front of you.  Some of these room correction systems try to affect phasing because they are trying to fight room nodes or first reflections.  The end result can be poor audio quality.
Setup should be as follows

#1 Speaker Size / Crossover points
#2 Measure distance with a tape measure
#3 make sure the EQ profiles are set to flat.

In order to FULLY configure an ACT4 You will need to do some room measurement.

Bright and Harsh could be because the low end is getting rolled off / not configured.
Speaker Layout Screen: To setup the ACT 4 output configuration according to the particular speaker layout in the room, simply touch the buttons corresponding to the room loudspeaker positions. The layout screen indicates the layout description in industry-standard numeric terms on the lower right as changes are made. The audio bed section determines which ear-height loudspeakers are enabled. The height section selects between top front, top middle and top rear loudspeakers or none. Upward firing or “dolby enabled” speakers are selected here as well. Finally, select the number of actively driven subwoofers in the system (up to three). Changes are made to the ACT 4 and its audio output immediately in response to layout changes on this screen 

Speaker Layout #1, Distance are there, Appropriate crossovers and sizing, start with 80hz.
Analog – ADC Sample Rate: For analog inputs i15 – i20, the sample rate for the A/D converter or ADC can be adjusted for maximum conversion quality. Sample rates can chosen from 48kHz+ For Analogue Audio Sources Turn up the sampling Rate
