Quick question. When measuring for DC on amp outputs is it DC milliamps or DC millivolts to check for?
I'm reading 156ma / 0.01mv.

It is DC mV that you measure. Measuring mA will cause you to short the outputs of your amp. DON'T do this.

If it was 1V, the decimal point would be in a different place.

Here's the reading on one channel, the other is the - on V.
same...
On 200m it's.....

Knock it down to the 20v range for better accuracy, and then down to the 2000mV range. You will soon see if it is 1v.

Yes you have 180 mV there, or 0.18 Volts.
I would consider that a bit high, prefer to see less than 50mV. What amp is it?

Are the readings with the speakers connected or without?
I'm probably being a bit cautious here, even with 0.18V on the speakers the actual power dissipated in the speakers is only 4 milliwatts, which is of no concern at all.
