Question for those familiar with the Pioneer Elite's subwoofer settings...
I understand that the difference between just setting the subwoofer to "yes" vs. "plus" means that under "Plus" the sub gets the same bass or LFE that the fronts (and center if in surround mode) get. I also know that to get any sub output in 2 ch. stereo mode you need to have the sub set to "plus".
What I don't know or understand is that if I have "large" front speakers and want to add my sub for music and set the receiver to "plus", does the LFE crossover take effect? In other words...can I still control the frequencies that go to the sub in "plus" mode? I don't want all of the same bass that go to the large fronts going to the sub but I'd like to be able to use it for music to accent those really low frequencies, even with my large fronts.
I have Def Tech 7006 fronts that have powered 8" subs built in, but I am looking to get a new separate subwoofer that will be be to handle even lower frequencies.
What have others here experienced with these sub settings on the Pioneer Elite's?
BTW...I have an Elite 82.
So far in a bit of playing with the settings, "plus" just seems to throw more bass at the sub for HT 5.1 and then just seems to send the same bass that the fronts are getting for 2 ch. stereo.
Any thoughts or input would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.
