I'm hard of hearing but love watching movies in the best quality possible. My main hearing issue when watching films is understading the dialog. SO, I'm wanting to hook up my center channel speaker to my existing 2 speaker setup. I'd hook em all up (5 Paradigm Studio 40's) but the surrounds would be on a shared wall with neighbors who have kids, so that wont fly.
I have a new Pioneer VSX-919AH-k AV receiver. Is there a way to do this with this AVR? I know that the receiver can detect how many speakers are connected to it and thus allows certain features to be used, like 5.1 sound and various 5.1 and 7.1 codecs, but I only want a 3 speaker system.
Is this possible with this receiver? Would I need to trick it in some way into allowing the use of the codecs that send sound to more than 2 speakers? And what about sound quality? I'm assuming that if I have 5.1 sound working but simply lack the 2 rear speakers I would still get decent quality sound from the remaining 3, but I really don't know.
I could sure use some help.
Thanks.
