Well after picking up a meter from Radio Shack and calibrating the system I found that it still didn't sound right so the meter is going to be returned. After calibration, my fronts were 0 my center was -6 my surround left and right were +1 and surround rear was +2. I couldn't make out the dialog very well and ended up changing it to -3 on my center and I changed the the surround left and right to +4 and the rear surround to +5 and it sounds much better. The meter may technically be correct but my ears told me otherwise.
