I told JC that I was going to invest in a SPL meter...this was JC's e-mail to me:
Hi John,
It is JC again.
You are better off doing a manual set-up; avoid auto-EQ set-up at all costs.

The Digital Video Essentials which is also available in a Blu-ray version is really good to help you calibrate your display and it also has an audio section as well. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_gw?url...tials&x=10&y=10

If you buy a sound pressure level meter, you will be able to perfectly dial in your system. It is not complicated. It is part of the fun of owning a surround system. http://www.radioshack.com/search/index.j...el%20meter&sr=1

I will try what Lucv13 said and give it a try. Tks for all the help. Trying to cover all my bases as much as possible. Tks a bunch for all the insight. So greatly appreciated.
