If you use the Denon Auto Setup, it does not matter. It automatically adjusts the volume for you to what ever was decided by Denon. The end result is an 80dB SPL from the primary position.

I usually tame that down to around 75dB once the Auto Setup is complete. I've tried the whole adjust the left speaker to 0dB first and then the rest of the speakers after that. Like Jakeman said, the end result and that your speakers are calibrated the same, to whatever level.
