Ditto on the 2805, depending on the DVD, CD, etc. I may have it anywhere from -40dB's for a nice background sound to around -5dB's or so. My 2805 has Room EQ, which I've decided not to use, I do however like you use the Auto Setup, which sets the Delay and Levels. It has been my experience that they are pretty accurate. I'm sure the recording levels of CDs/DVD's vary, that is why you see a difference on material.
