I tried activating the x-over on my sub thinking maybe that was throwing it off, but it still failed. One thing I noticed while the auto setup was doing its thing, it was setting the delays correctly, but the trims were way out of whack, compared to me doing it manually w/an SPL meter. I even tried orienting the mic vertically, facing back wall, front wall, etc, to no avail. Not a big deal but still kind of weird.
Rance,

I am trying to remember...think that after I wrote down the distance and trim values, then manually put them in for the configuration, is when auto setup quit failing with the front/surround issue. Maybe the default values before running a setup are what is causing the problem. Another thing that initially confused me...the trim values listed in auto setup, must be how far from the desired level each speaker is at. After auto setup worked, and I saved the values, the trims were the negative of what auto setup listed during the test, e.g. the +3 db listed for my sub, actually set the trim at -3 db after the auto setup config was saved. All non 0 db trims were saved like this. Could this be why your SPL meter values were so different?
