Denon auto-calibration....?

Someone mentioned in another thread that Denon instructs users to set their amps to "0 dB" prior to calibration using the auto-setup feature. I was unable to find this anywhere in the documentation (either the hardcopy, or a text search through the Adobe version). I have also calibrated several times with the volume set at minimum, with good results; I would let the amp do it's thing, then fine tune the traditional way (using a Rat Shack SPL meter). What am I missing?

One sub to rumble them all. One sub to shake them. One sub to humble them all. And in the darkness break them.

Well, my Pio sets the volume to 0dB when it goes into setup. I'm pretty happy with the auto set up: I checked levels using the Video Essentials DVD and an SPL meter. I found levels checked to within 2 dB.

Walter, does your Pio revert back to minimum volume (or whatever you had it set to prior to the auto-setup) after it is finished?

As I recall, it does.
