I tried switching DE on and then off without it adding any loudness. I just rechecked and I need at least +6db(subwoofer trim) at the receiver for the level to be correct with AVIA.
In Pete's suggestions he is essentially disabling the players decoder, correct? Thus he is allowing the receiver to decode? If I am exclusively using analog outs does any of this apply?
I'm getting confused here, I think. If I let the dvd player perform the bass management than why not just increase the sub output level by 10db at the receiver for the 10db discrepency?
Actually, I'm trying to say that it is the player's hardware causing this messed up condition when analog outs are used. I need the player's hardware( decoder) to apply the boost because all my receiver is seeing is the analog signal which it can not differentiate between LFE bass and redirected...
I think it has to do 100% with the hardware. I have a HK 335 which has analog inputs but it is a pass through with no bass management. LFE and subwoofer(bass redirection) management are two different things. If one is using analog out via 5.1 outputs than you are changing the level of LFE and...
It may be cookie-cutter...but how many more variations are there? I mean, look at that SVS tube looking thing. Isn't that an eye sore? Doesn't mean I wouldn't take one.... Seems like some of the well known companies use the same design....downfiring/front or rear port. You say po-tato, I say...
