Howdy,

What is the correct procedure/advice for determining a new volume reference level?

I purchased the 7700 a few weeks ago and I am very happy with it.

I have to determine what my new volume setting is for correct reference level.

My Onkyo TX-DS787 pre/pro has a reference setting but it is now way louder than the normal 75db setting with the 7700. (Found this out with my RS SPL meter.)

I turned my speaker calibration settings down all the way and still get 85 db.

Thank you for your help.
