Right channel sounds louder in stereo mode
Hi everybody,
Has anybody experienced anything similar – I have a 5.1 Ascend setup powered by Marantz SR-8400 and calibrated using a RadioShack SPL meter. Everything sounds as expected (perfectly centered) when I play movies or multichannel music (including Circle Surround mode - similar to DPLII) but in 2-channel mode the image seems to be shifted to the right; both me and my wife can notice that. The decoding is done by the receiver so CD player is not to blame. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.
Regards,
Dmitry.

Hmm - I checked the manual and it turns out that my receiver doesn't have that option (separate settings for each input). The only thing that I could think of is if I pressed the "Source-direct" button which defeats all the processing. I'll verify this when I'm home.
Thanks for the advice!

...On another hand - addition of the center speaker (as opposite to a pure stereo) would probably pull the soundstage slightly to the left thus reducing the effect of the room acoustics...
