front 60
center 60
surr 120
LFE 120

Heres my issue :
I get the -12 doing the calibration with sub vol at 12 oclock.If I turn down my sub so its not -12 I have to turn it down to about 3 oclock and I get -6 (seems ok for movies it must compensate somehow)but at 3oclock if I listen to music it has no sub at all as its to low

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated

I do not own a subwoofer but am thinking of adding one. I only plan on adding one sub but page 30 in the manual doesn't seem that helpful, unless I'm missing something. If I was to add a SW like the one in the attachment, which SW connection(s) would I use on the 5308? Would I connect to SW 2 & 3 on the 5308 for right & left? If I only connect to SW1, which connection do I use on the powered sub?

Thanks

You'd just run the sub output (sw1) to the line level input on the SVS sub. It's a mono sub, so it doesn't matter which input (L/R) you use since they're summed together anyway. If it makes you feel more secure, a lot of people use left for mono, for no particularly meaningful reason except herd mentality.

And if you're running audyssey(I hope!), you'd turn the crossover on the sub off, and the highpass filter off as well.

If you add additional subwoofers, then you'd want to add them to SW2, etc sub outs on the receiver, and it audyssey would ping and EQ each individual sub differently for its particular location and response, which is a very very nice advantage of the multiple sub-outs on the 5308. You don't want to connect multiple sub outs to the single subwoofer, that would probably cause some strange results since audyssey would think it's pinging two different subs and eqing it twice, and then that all gets summed together again, that's no good.

The problem with that is some of the threads i have read about it seems to indicate the new firmware causes some problems of its own.
