I am just wondering what the recommended volume for each speaker is. The L,C,R,LS, and RS. If there is no recommended setting can you tell me what volume you set your individual speakers at. Thanks.

Have you ran the test tones?

You base the volume on those test tones (pink noise). Adjust the volume so that they all relatively sound the same.

buy a sound level meter from radio shack, its worth the 20-50 bucks, youd be supprised what your missing. i bought one 2 weeks ago and adjusted according to the level meter. i found that my sub was drounding out 1/3 of the sound i should have been getting from and individual speaker. sound that should be phased between two speakers was directed from one. its worth it. I have a very good ear and the decible meter told me that i was off about 10 decibles, that makes a big difference in correctly adjusting individual speaker volume.
