Vince,

No mine (Panasonic) doesn't send LFE to Large mains when sub=ryes.

I thought most didn't.

I've been discussing this with another enthusiast who has a Sony receiver who says he gets LFE from his Large mains regardless if sub=yes or sub=no (and he dosen't have a sub=both).

I'm guessing the redirected bass from small center and small L&R surrounds adds maybe 3dB each of redirected bass to his Large mains and maybe this is what he thinks is LFE, I don't know.

The Dolby bass management diagram is a bit unclear actually.
