Ok, I've found a couple of websites that say to start with the left speaker with the receiver dB level at 0dB, and then adjust the volume up/down while listening to the test tones on the AVR until it reads 75dB's. Then you adjust the remaining speakers to 75dB using the level adjustment, not the volume.

Is this correct?

I guess with my Denon 2805, I've always just kicked off the tone test and adjusted all the speakers, including the left front to 75dB's using the level adjustment.

Also, I think I may have been running my sub to hot, as I like to put it about 4dB's above my other speakers, however, the RS meter is not as accurate in the low Freq's I'm hearing, so in reality I am probably more like +6dB's on the sub. I plan to re calibrate tomorrow night to adjust for the 2dB flaw of the RS meter.

Any advice is appreciated..Randy

ps: I'm sure you all have told me this stuff before, maybe this time I'll right it down.
