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? A little of both 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? That depends - Can you feel the rumble, hear loud explosions etc.? What about the "Double Bass" setting? It's currently set to "OFF". As it should be

As far as listening modes I have it set to PLIIx Movie when watching TV, is that my best option? For TV, yes 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. Sounds correct

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

Thanks in advance!
