I recently purchased the Onkyo HT-7100 and have a few questions setting up the 606 receiver. First, I should say that I'm a noob when it comes to the world of home audio so please forgive my ignorance. I ran the Audyssey setup which produced the following settings-
Front-80hz FL +1, FR +1
Center-150hz
Surround-100hz SL +3, SR +3
Surr Back-120hz SBL -1, SBR 0
Subwoofer -11db

Do these settings seem optimal or does it solely depend on the acoustics of my room? One thing I did notice was that the bass output from the subwoofer was substantially lower after running the Audyssey setup, does -11db seem too low? What about the "Double Bass" setting? It's currently set to "OFF".

As far as listening modes I have it set to PLIIx Movie when watching TV, is that my best option? I have a PS3 hooked up via HDMI and use the Multichannel PCM for the audio when watching Blu-Ray which I read is my best option since the PS3 does the decoding.

As far as listening to my iPod- any suggestions for a preferred listening mode? Right now I have it set to all channel stereo.

Thanks in advance!
