Joe.
I also read the manual and my conclusion was like Mal's.
It seems that the available choices when selecting "large",is 40-60hz,however this referring to the lowpass section of the sub[the upper end of the subs response] not the high pass section for the mains,which means they are receiving full range signal with no filtering.
So I'm hoping that you could verify this by running a test tone through the mains only.If your mains don't go that low,you can always connect your powered sub to the preamp output of that channel,select sub no,and then switch between the large and small settings,and various crossover choices.
I'm not trying to argue with you about this,I know that manuals sometimes confusing or misleading,but this is very important to me,in order to consider this receiver to buy.
Another thing,
can the 520 engage the back surround speaker in DD mode,creating a "psudio" EX decoding much like the Denon AVR-3801/02 does?
The manual wasn't too clear about that either.
Thanks for you efforts in advance!
