why do you want to do what you want to do?

fwiw, when you set them to "large", you are defeating the xover...

fwiw, i'm almost exclusively a classical listener, and i have mains that have proven in-room response well down into the 30's... i cross them at 80...

the a/v gods invented subwoofers for a reason...

At least that's what I've gathered since mine does the same thing and I'm crossed over @ 80Hz.

Hi, jw00dy, ok let me understand this: since I have my crossover set to 80 Hz, anything below that number isn't being equalized?

I just talked to the Pioneer Customer Service. The guy said that if set the main speakers to LARGE, and the SW to + (a setting that is available when the speakers are set to LARGE,) then the 63 Hz will show up in the equalizer. He suggested that I try both way, i.e, speakers set to SMALL and LARGE and see which sound I prefer. Any thoughts?

sure, no problem... later on today when i get some time, i'll give you the "long form" rationale for what i'm saying...

b) yes, the first part is true. the second part, not so true. "large" and "plus" is very rarely (read: virtually never) the "better" option...

* technically, mcacc could be modifying slightly below the xover, as the xover isn't a brick wall, and mcacc has the ability to set wider filters than what you can through the manual graphic equalizer.... however, if you are crossing at 80hz, 63hz is essentially a full half octave below the xover, and at that point, there wouldn't be enough information left from the mains signal to be "worth" eq'ing...

A few quick comments regarding power consumption and hdmi pass through:

1. If you are very concerned about power consumption, I recommend you rely on the rear-mounted, 5 watt speakers within your LED HDTV.

2. HDMI Passthrough is going to use a fair amount of idle power. In other words, you are foregoing the power when firing up the receiver to rely just on the tv speakers in exchange for using significantly more power at idle all the time. It would be my uneducated guess that the receiver uses less than a watt at idle with HDMI mode in eco and no pass through. For practical purposes, let's say the receiver uses 30 watts with pass through enabled. Now let's assume you want to watch tv at night for two hours without amplification from the receiver, so you continue to only use 30 watts. If you power on the receiver on mute, let's say it uses 80 watts for those two hours.

So, let's compare total usage using the hdmi passthrough method versus my Polish passthrough method of putting it on mute.

Passthrough: 30 watts x 24 hours = 720 watts
Polish passthrough: 1 watts X 22 hours + 80 watts x 2 hours = 182 watts

When I connect the white cable to listen to music i have on my iPhone, no matter what song I play, there is popping/crackling noise in the background. Kinda sounds like if my songs are all like how vinyl records sound. I'm hoping it's just tue cable and not something with my reciever. Blu ray movies, or when I watch directv this doesn't happen. Anyone else have this issue?

Come to think of it. I had a green screen for a second when the inputs were changing over. Do you use a Harmony Remote to power everything up. I only ask because I was using an 880 (green screen), changed over to a ONE, and no more green screen.
