So I hooked up speakers for the bass management that it shows in the instructions and now im setting the settings on my reciver. I have the onkyo 604 and it doesnt have an option for large and small speakers. i set the fronts to full bandwith and the other speaker just have hz levels. The guy told me to set my center and surrounds to 40 hz. Does that sound right??

Also on the sub he told me to set it to 120hz, does that sound right??

    I don't have any experience with the RM6750 series, but I would suggest you get a RadioShack SPL meter and use it to calibrate the settings on the receiver.

    That sub level seems a bit high, it should be set (ideally) so that you cannot hear the sub. If it sounds boomy you are set too loud.

    The Onkyo AVR you have is excellent! I have a TX-SR702 and it has been phenomenal.

    I have one more question, I'm totally new to all this. Under level calibration, where should I set each speaker. Each has plus or minus dB, and I have no idea what that means
