Yeah, that's really irritating about the Denons. They seem to set the 5.1 inputs at different default levels than everything else. Even when you're using DenonLINK and not the 5.1 analog inputs, and you've calibrated on DVD-V (same input!), there's the SACD/DVD-A in sitting there, taunting you with +12 all around and -5 on the sub.

I am the Doctor, and THIS... is my SPOON!
