    Large without sub

    If I had 2 front speakers flat down to 20hz set to large, a home theater reciever, no sub, and a 5.1 movie track with a LFE channel - would the LFE channel redirect to the front? Or would it be discarded? I know some recievers may do things differently, and have a yamaha aventage ax3000, but wondered what most recievers do.

    it is my understanding that when an AVR is set to 'Large' for the front main speakers, the full range unabridged signal is delivered to them.

      Bill is correct. You must also tell the AVR that you have no sub (Important!) .....center or surrounds.

      Mains set to large and the AVR will matrix everything into your 2 main speakers.......Including LFE.

        Even if you have a center and surrounds and only had your front speakers set to large and hte others set to small it would still route LFE to your 2 mains.

          Directing LFE to subwoofer
          by tonygeno
          Is it possible to route only the LFE to a sub with this processor? I am considering the NHT VT-3 system which has two 10's per side that are make it a full range speaker. I wanted to keep my HSU TN1220HO subs (I have a pair) and use them only for LFE. In going through the set up menus of the RDC7 there...

          963sa owners: please help with sub set up
          by vasia
          Hi,
          I've decided to give Philips 963sa a try given its great price at B&H Photo (239-). I've just got it in and I basically cannot seem to be able to set up the sub properly for SACD playback. Every time I set my main speakers to large, it automatically switches sub off in Advanced Bass Managment...

          No LFE when playing 2 channel stereo on 1066?
          by Barney1
          Fellow members, I just did the software upgrade on my 1066 to version 2.26. I notice that I am not getting any LFE from my sub when playing a CD in 2 channel stereo. I’m pretty sure that I did have it before the upgrade, but not 100% sure. Is there something Im missing? Can somebody help me out?...
