How to use multimeter

Could somebody guide me through a process?
I want to measure an output signal on my power amp to make sure it's equal in both channels ( I suspect it's not).
My idea is to play mono signal (pink noise?) and to measure voltage on amp's speaker terminals with speakers connected.
Please tell me a correct way to do it, I certainly don't want to damage my amp, and want to make sure I'm measuring what I suppose to measure.
If you think I know what settings on multimeter I should use- you are wrong, I don't.
That's what I mean: please guide me through.

Hi

Just hook up your multimeter to the speaker terminals set it in Volt AC mode. Don't know how pink noise will work, if you have a signal generator connect it to a input on your amplifier and set at 1kHz adjust output on the tone generator so it is not too loud and then measure.

Good luck
