Your levels on the output will be hot with -20 on all inputs, but it should not be unbalanced left to right. Double check your sends to the encoder, and check decoded levels with program as a final check. I don't put any LFE into the Lt Rt, but when I have, it goes to center. The best level for the surrounds depends how much material is in the Ls Rs in the 5.1. I listen and make my final setting based on the sound of the decoded LtRt. Usually about -3 to -4 works good. Hope that helps.
