When you calibrate your system using internal test tones, you calibrate all speakers to 75dB[my continued confusion]
So when I sit down with my radio shack SPL digital meter, (sitting on my camera tripod at ear level beside my cofa), and turn on the test tones in my Marantz SR19EX I find I have to turn the volume knob up to say -10db on the display and the RS meter is saying roughly 75db, (+-3db), at each speaker. I then adjust each channel independantly to obtain the 75db reading at each speaker. Life is good, go enjoy....What the end result of this exercise is that I have adjusted the system for best surround balance, but with regard to the volume knob I have, (hopefully), balanced the volume output such that a 0db setting on the SR19EX results in a possible "refernce level" as you mentioned above?
Correct?
