A valid point Simon. Well I just checked and the width adjustment has no affect on playback. So what does that mean it is set to? Besides from that I just listened to Earth Wind and Fire's Greatest Hits and I've never heard it sound so good. I'm still running with the +3db and I don't think it suffers any clipping. I'll have to try going back to 0. My problem is when I calibrate my right rear is my loudest so that is set to 0 and my fronts are -1.5 to -2.5. I suppose I could always calibrate my fronts to 0 and then use the utility to raise the surrounds beyond 0. This way if there is clipping it would be only in the surrounds.

Best regards,
Jerry
