1st Runs on my HT System

Looks good.

Can REW be used to calibrate the centre channel's freq response? If so, which input on the receiver would be used, as obviously the L or R inputs can't be. Would you use the Multichannel's centre input?

You could use the multichannel input, but would your eq system in the receiver be engaged on multichannel? I thought the multichannel inputs were fairly direct? Either way, the multi would give you a look at the response anyway.

You are right.

Is there any other common way to do it?

Not that I know of. We don't usually concern ourselves with the center and surrounds with respect to REW. It is more for a sub and mains at the crossover.

Another question:

After I take a measurement of the mains+sub, and am ready to Set Target, do I use the Subwoofer setting while Setting Target (which generates the Subwoofer signal) or the Full Band while Setting Target (which generates the Speaker Cal signal). Reason I ask is because the Subwoofer setting and signal generates a louder Target level than the other.

You use the subwoofer signal since you're really testing band limited to 200Hz even though the mains are on..............

Ok, here are my mains+sub final settings for each seat in the room.
Top to bottom:
Seat 1 (primary seating position i.e. my favourite seat because it reclines )
Seat 2 (best listening position between both mains)
Seat 3
Seat 4 (wife's favourite seat because she can lay on the couch)
Seat 5
Seat 6

Any more advice for the HT room before I pack it in and call it the best I can do? Should I pump up the sub a bit more? It seems low for Seat 1.

It is tough to get a great response over a large listening area, but I think your response is pretty good. #2, 3, 4 are the best, but overall they're pretty good. I think the sub level with respect to the mains looks perfect now...
