What I should have said is that for DVD-Audio/SACD, you need to calibrate your player like you calibrated the 950 (with the Radio Shack meter).
Once your 950 is calibrated, select 6Ch analog (where your player's 5.1 analog outs are connected. Go into the players menu, set all speakers to "large". Then set the levels for each channel to match what ever you used for the 950 (70db ?).
This way, SACD/DVD-A levels are set by the player, and bass management is done in the 950.
For digital inputs, both are done in the 950.

Hope this helps.
