Dave, as Alan points out, there has to be a way to adjust speaker levels independently of the built-in test tones. In your case, look at p.55 of your manual, where it describes making further level adjustments "to suit your taste". The various set-up discs available have additional features for audio and/or video adjustments beyond speaker level, but the receiver test-tones are fine for the level setting. Whether they use a specified level(e.g. 85dB)doesn't really matter; all speakers will be set to whatever level the tones are at, when done carefully. The overall volume can of course be then either raised or lowered.

Edit: you may have just found that yourself.
