You should get an HT set up DVD, like Chesky's, it will provide test tones to all channels to do level balancing.

I really have a reasonable explaination...I have the day off from work today and my wife gave me the duty of cleaning the garage, thus far I haven't lifted a finger and I do know for a fact it's her way of reminding me that even though she's at work she still knows I haven't done a thing. It's just her way of reminding that I had something to do today.
Yea, that's what happened.

Could also bring the fronts back to increase balance.
Alan and I did an interesting comparison between the DTS and DD versions of The Haunting, on the advice of someone else. Wild what a difference there was! You wonder if one version is for videophiles, and one for audiophiles . . .

When you say 7.1 is ok, are you referring to playing music in 7.1, or watching DD and DTS in Prologic IIx mode or Widescreen modes?
I know on my 2805 depending on if I'm in Direct, Pure Direct, Standard, Dolby Digital, etc... The settings I adjust for the levels for each one is specific to that setting. So if I'm watching a Dolby Digital movie and I adjust the mains to say +8 dB's that setting will stay for movies. Later if I put a CD in Direct mode and check the same setting on my remote it may be at +5dB's or whatever I set it at. Are you hitting the large circle button on the remote to cycle through each channel to set your levels?

Randy,
You are the man thank you I was refering to 7.1 channel for music. When I went in to check the DTS/DD setting from the center button on the remote for some reason they were several DB low it must of happened because I don't lock my setting after adjustments.
