Hello everyone. I just bought a new panasonic home theater system with five speakers. The two surround sound speakers that go in the back are not loud enough, but there is a way to make them louder (this is where i get confused) When adjusting the volume of them my choices are 1dbs 2 dbs 3 dbs (all the way to 6 dbs). I can't hear them when adjusting them though. Does anyone know which number should be good for them? like 3dbs or something? Thanks

The correct way to set them is with a calibration DVD and an SPL meter. Any other way and you are just guessing.

Well if your volume can go up into the positive db range, it should also display negative numbers. When you at the +1, +2 etc the volume should be rather loud. Your surround processor should be able to send out a test tone, to all your speakers. Better units have a microphone, and will do the calibrations automatically.

Please keep in mind that the rear channel will only play, if a sound effect, or music is made to come from the rear. It doesn't play all the time.

Good Luck...
