Tom, the result when playing a stereo CD is puzzling. Regardless of any auto-calibration or equalization, when a CD is played using the ordinary modes(i.e. those Randy described)the amount of sound in a center speaker should be zero. It's almost as if mono was selected somehow. The center speaker would still be silent, but the left and right fronts playing the same signal would form a "phantom" center for all of the sound. Also, if a surround mode such as DPLII was applied to a CD and the center width control was adjusted all the way to the middle, an effect something like that could result. Very mysterious.
