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.

Thanks biudrain , l appreciate
But every things you wrote ,have already been done, properly.
what do you mean by : ...the low end is getting rolled off / not configured.
l have to admit that I am not perfectly bilingual. French is my first langage.
the sound is harsh , bright and not very detailed.

anyway,if it does not improve , I can always try to sell it.
I am going to loose money but it is still better than loosing my mind
bi0drain is trying to indicate that if your bass management in ACT 4 is not configured properly (i.e. subwoofer not loud enough or improperly configured), then the sound could be thin/weak and without punch/power.  However, I think that is completely different than bright/harsh.
Lets triage
2 channel stereo balanced
1 digital source
Assign a digital coax or hdmi to the source, impedenfe mismatch or you got a lemon, call acurus


Set the device to bitstream
Test tone in stereo, listen to a 2ch cd in stereo with the front set to large

As l wrote to auxinput  :  No matter the source, power cord, audio mode. Even in stereo mode
( two channel ) the sound is very .unpleasant..

BlueRay  ( HDMI ) , Pro iDSD streamer DAC (XLR) and DVD Player  (coaxial ) are  already set to bitstreem. 

According to the owner’manual, stereo mode is the best audio mode of the ACT 4.

I have an other issue with the unit ( the third ), l E-Mailed the technical service yesterday. Until now, I have been answered by the co founder of the company.
But I haven’t heard   from them ( about EQ tuning ) for the past 4 days .
I am affraid , if they learn about my thread here, I will not be on their beloved  client list.
