[QUOTE=Quagmire]"The problem is, that I'd geuss 98% of the general public, would be of the understanding that DB controls should be set at the same levels for CDs, DVDs, TV, etc. and they're now going to, because they don't read this Forum-that'll show them, be hearing CD's for example wrong for the rest of their lives unless they have a mind of their own and say "what's up doc, this ain't right"! and adjust different inputs and/or DSP's seperately."

Again to belabore a point, do you consider 2 speakers and a sub a DSP setting as opposed too 2 speakers and no sub? If so, I'll concede but I don't agree.

It simply makes absolutely no sense whatsoever for any receiver maker to assume that a sub won't be attached to their system. Therefore at minimum 2 speakers and a sub should not be considered a DSP. But the way I'm interpreting comments here it is. I'm also interpreting that by using SPL levels and setting the receivers test tones to 75 in regards to the receivers DB levels you are getting the correct balance to listen to DVD's at 5.1 sound and CD's apparently at 2 speaker sound (no bass) and everything else must be adjusted. This makes no sense to me whatsoever and even if it does make sense, it should be stated as such by the instruction manual!
