This seems like strange advice doesn't it?

And then, in the final note to the document, on the last page:

 Quote:
Before adjusting the trim settings, please understand that producing a calibrated setting other than 75 dB SPL results in reference level being achieved with the master volume set to something other than “0”.

This too just seems strange to me. I've asked the question about reference level volume in the past and the consensus was that there's no such thing because all movies/music/etc. are mixed differently, resulting in different sound levels at different volumes on your receiver. Not to mention different speaker efficiencies resulting in different volumes at the same gain level on the receiver.

Overall I thought the document was very helpful, but I don't think anyone should get to hung up on following the advice on either of these two points.

This is the LFE channel, not a crossover. The .1 part of 5.1. This channel carries signals up to 120 hz. Some AVRs allow you to set this (for reasons unknown).

All films are mixed to 85db (peaks to 105, 115 for bass). That is an industry standard. Music on the other hand, varies all over the board.
