Oak,

Thanks....but my DVD player's speaker setup menu that I speak of ALSO has DISTANCE settings as if to set up the surround system in whole----with distances and all; I did this already through the receiver, measuring the distance from my sweet spot to all the speakers. If I follow your advice and use the receiver only, what do I keep these menu settings for the DVD player on, all ZERO, like I have it now?

What is also concerning me is this: when I cycle through the DVD player's speaker setup menu and press TEST, it generates the test tones through the front left and right speakers, but not for the center, sub or surrounds----no test tone comes from those drivers....but when I test the calibration levels on my RECEIVER, the test tones sound just fine from each speaker in the system....why does this happen? Is it because as you say, the DVD player's calibration menu is just there for multichannel music sources?
