If you don't trust your ears to get an accurate SPL calibration: You can pick up an inexpensive, hand-held SPL meter at any electronics store, or (ugh) Radio Shack. Simply hold it up close to where your head is when you're watching movies, and adjust all the channels for the same reading. Here's a website with more details:(http://www.techlore.com/article/10037/How-To-Calibrate-Your-Surround-Sytem-Using-an-SPL-Meter/;jsessionid=20C6D30E4AA3F9F0885C8C49BF904011?page=2)
Auto-calibration
Is this necessary, given that my surround speakers need to be placed a fair distance behind the listening/viewing position due to room constraints?
And if not, how can I then easily calibrate the speakers in terms of sound volume?
I just learned that the new Classe SSP-800, which I have on order, will not have this feature, even though it is included in both the much less expensive SSP-300 and SSP-600.
