I need information on how to actually use the digital Radio Shack sound level meter to calibrate my system. I have M80's, VP150 and QS8's (no sub) with a Sherwood Newcastle R965. (My receiver is the older version that does not have the auto calibration function. I have the software to update it, but it will be a while before I get motivated to disconnect the receiver and bring it to my computer, and I need to find someone who can show me how to actually do the update, since I am not computer savvy.) Anyway, I know how to get the test tones out of my receiver, and how to adjust the volume for each channel. But, what I need to determine is the actual process for using the sound level meter to calibrate the speakers. If you could direct me to a source for this info, or provide assistance here, that would be much appreciated.

Thnaks in advance.
