This is reference to the first Avia calibration disc.

In Chapter 7 (Subwoofer Calibration) the disc goes through a series of alternating high and low frequency pink noises from left main to sub, center to sub, right main to sub and so on until all speakers have gone through this pink noise process. Whenever I do this the sub is reading my pre-setting of 75/75db for the mains but 61/75 and 60/75db for the center and surrounds. The disc instructions says to calibrate the sub with either the receiver or the sub's amp so that you'll get the same db reading on the sub throughout all of the speakers but this can't be done, if I calibrate the sub to 75/75 db with the center and surrounds the sub goes through the roof whenever the mains are played. Am I missing something here?

In the past I've always calibrated all speakers using pink noise and set all db's the same.

Speakers to set to small, sub (EP600) is set to -7 db on the receiver and the crossovers are as follows, mains (80s) to 60, center (VP150&100) and surrounds (QS8s) to 100.
