This unit has Audyssey. You should use the included mic and run Audyssey (if you haven't already). This should yield better results than any SPL meter. You could then increase a certain channel - say the center if you're having difficulty hearing the dialogue simply by increasing a dB or 2 as indicated earlier. Some people also like to hear more or less surround sound, which you can also increase or decrease after you've run Audyssey.

I just downloaded the operating manual. I was assuming from the Audyssey indicated in the specs that there was a mic and you could run Audyssey, however, from the operating manual, there are only a series of "presets" That's not Audyssey!!!

Sorry for misleading you. The speaker level adjustments are outlined on page 33 of the OM. You may wish to start simply by ear before spending money on an SPL meter.

At least eljay and I are on the same page, just a couple of minutes apart.
