[quote]If you want to tweek each volume while using a different tone source because your prefer their tones over the Marantz supplied tones [/quote]I think you be be missing the point, it's not just different test tones. AVIA and VE are shaped pink noise specifically designed for 5.1 Dolby Digital calibration and recorded at -20dB and -30dB below a 105dB reference level.
Normally I find that either AVIA or VE used for calibration is a more accurate rendition of the source to speaker signal path anyway.
Internal test tones of receivers have certainly been measured to be inacurrate. Some by as much as 3dB off channel to channel. I would certainly trust the actual signal path i.e. what is coming from the DVD player thru the receiver's amps thru the speakers to the SPL meter more than just internal test tones.
The question about how to do it with the Marantz? I'd try a support call or email to Marantz to see what their response is.
