I am a newbie to this forum and request some help, if possible. I am not exactly dumber than a box of rocks concerning surround sound systems, but I am close.
I am replacing a 15 year old entertainment system with individual components purchased as funds become available. I presently have a 52" Sharp LCD HD television and have recently purchased a Denon AVR-2309 CI 7.1 receiver. I specifically wanted this receiver because of power output, 4 HDMI outlets, AC outlets for cooling fan, expansion options, it's many capabilities and the name, which as long as I can remember has always been a plus.
For speakers I would like to continue using the "Bose Acoustimass-3 Series lll Speaker System" purchased 15 years ago. This is a system comprised or 2- 3inch cube speakers and a bass module. A pair of wires for each speaker outputs from the receiver/amplifier and attaches to the input of the bass module. Wires then output from the bass module to each speaker. For this system I was using an older JVC stereo receiver which did not have any of the new fancy connections.
I hope I described it suffeciently for anyone to understand my question. As I started reading the instructions for the Denon receiver I noticed that a subwoofer, which I assume is similar to the bass module that I have, is hooked into the receiver with a single wire going to a pre out connector on the back of the receiver. Panic! With all of the connections on the back of this receiver, can the bass module I have be somehow incorporated into this system I am putting together or am I going to end up paying a fortune for a subwoofer? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you
