Thanks Matt, bossobass and gonk for the reply.

So basically, I should on the Denon 2200:
Set the speakers to all large and the sub on.
Set all speaker levels to 0db (might set the sub a bit higher).
Set all speaker distances to the same value.

Then on the 950:
Put bass management on.
Calibrate with the 950 test tones, or my avia disk.
Use the 6 channel direct button (on remote) (from a multichannel mode eg DVD).

Does that sound correct?

bossobass, as for disks I like, I've just gotten into dvd-a/sacd so I have Diana Krall and a Shania Twain DVD-A, and Concord Records SACD Sampler. As for other music, I listen to a varity of different music, country, reggae, rap, rock, jazz, indian, calypso etc. My wife, daughter and I usually have the system running about 6-8hrs a day.

Thanks again
Steve
