[QUOTE="Drifter, post: 1168562, member: 13448"] You can manually boost the surround left and right. They are currently -1 and -2 db's. If you up those values to +3 for both as example, the volume of the surrounds will increase. That said, music is mastered in stereo. Your Harmon Kardon AVR does not have Dolby Suround ([URL]https://no.harmankardon.com/on/demandware.static/-/Sites-masterCatalog_Harman/default/dw4204ecb9/pdfs/HK_AVR_161S_Spec_Sheet_English.pdf[/URL]). Only Dolby Pro Logic which will be used to upmix stereo to surround. Both Pro Logic and Surround do the same thing (i.e. takes stereo signal and upmixes it to multi-speakers), however Pro Logic is limited to 5.1 and Surround is compatible with configurations from 5.1 to 24.1.10. Music is therefore not a good test for surrounds. Put on a Dolby Digital movie and then listen to the surrounds to determine if the volume is to your liking. [/QUOTE]
