6 track Mono + 2 stereo (5.1 + stere) export

Question

Hi I'm new to Premiere coming from FCP7. I find the auido a little confusing but I think I'm starting to grasp it a little bit. Could anyone tell me how I proerply set up a sequence to do a 5.1 + stereo export. The feature I'm importing will have this audio layout. I'm merely chopping off bars and re-exporting. Are the settings in the attached image correct?

Also, I've run into a problem where the audio levels in the timeline appear to be -3db lower than the master file. From what I've read this is a pan affect which FCP seems to compensate for when working with multiple mono tracks. Is there a setting in premeire that can automatically make the necessary adjustment or is it just a matter of adjusting the track levels to compensate. Thank you. Any help would be appreciated.

We need to see the Audio Track Mixer in the resulting sequence to be sure you've panned and routed everything correctly. In your image we only see panning, not routing (output assigment). Here's an image from the 140+ page chapter on Audio in "The Cool Stuff in Premiere Pro".

And then there's the Export Settings, where you need to specify the metadata for Audio Channel config. Another image from "The Cool Stuff in Premiere Pro".

If audio levels in the timeline appear to be -3db lower than the master file, that probably means it's been panned to the middle. It should not happen when it's panned left or right.
