In the way he described it I can't imagine that anyone would design bass management to behave that way...

So.. it all matters when bass management is applied, before levels are set or after...

in this case then all of the speakers should be set to the same level or there'd be all kinds of varying bass levels... in my case I've got very insensitive main speakers which are set to -5db, the center is at -9 and the surrounds are at -11 and the back surrounds are at -15... but I guess ideally dvd's wouldn't be mixed to send much low frequency info to the surrounds and center..


So Scott, when does the 950 apply bass management? before or after levels are adjusted?
