Us non-home-owners need to stick together and wallow in our collective misery.

You need to calibrate with an SPL meter, and sometimes you may need to adjust "on the fly" with action movies. Soundtrack recording is getting much better, but even releases from 1-2 years ago (Star Wars I as a glaring example) were just brutal for soft dialogue channels.
If you don't want to spring for an SPL meter, you can also try setting the mains at -2 to -3 dB and turning up the overall gain.
It's ALL ball bearings nowadays!!

Yes, I am interested, even if Semi isn't.

I did calibrate with an SPL meter. I found there was a major difference between calibrating with a disk as opposed to internal test tones. Go figure....

Exxxxxcellent choice, if I do say so myself.. :> I'm pretty sure that one comes with the HD receiver, correct ? Gives you the best of both worlds; DVD 'AND' HighDef broadcasts..
You have cable or sat ? I'm running my HD via a roof top antenna and love it..
LFE ! The rest is just details..
