How do I know if it's in the Main, Sub or Main+sub mode ? The manual says-press and hold surround mode for 3 seconds but I don't see the difference ?

Visually you won't see anything, it only has the small light for the 3 different modes. But you should be able to hear the difference....especially when in Dolby Digital.

You associate the sub with one speaker. Anytime that speaker is in a played group the sub plays. You can disassociate and re-associate with a different speaker fairly easily, but have to do it in the setup menu.

I'm not sure how it works... but when I switch channels my receiver shows how it adjusts such as -3db or +2 db to even it out. There's also 3 kinds of night mode: low, medium, and high that could also help.Actually I just looked at it... it says "Dialog Norm" then it lists the dB adjustment.Edit: I finally had a chance to look around at it. I guess it is only on the 876 and 906. I guess I never realized the volume difference since most of the time I skip commercials since I use a DVR. Sorry for the trouble man.

I can see two inputs at the back panel for sub woofer. However, I have added only one.

It works both ways. I have it hooked up with a Denon amp that has two subwoofer outputs for 7.2 surround and they're incredible!

For any surround system the most important piece is the center channel... I am using a high end pinnacle center not in wall ...hope this helps

I would recommend a sub and surround speakers. I use a sub and it sounds great. I also got the matching center channel which is awesome too.

I believe that is a function for a different unit that uses the same remote. Mine doesn't work either. But setting the bass and treble to the right levels, along with the 3d sound on, gives me some awesome sound. Most of the presets usually suck anyway.

You can run it through both at the same time if you would like. It played through both on mine when I initially set up the soundbar, so I just turned the volume all the way down on the TV.

You can't. But you can (bear with me) in one of 3 ways. While there are no controls marked Treble & Bass, hitting the "Sound Mode" button effectively brings up the treble & brings down the bass in a fixed configuration. OR you can use the "sub woofer" +/- for more subtle grades OR you can go to the "menu" mode on your TV (most of them have same nowadays) and adjust the treble/bass functions there. I realise none of these is as simple as the old T/B function was (is, on many other systems) but they DO work, quite well.

Is the subwoofer working and correctly hooked up? If your still not getting sound try setting your main main speakers to small and the crossover to 80hz in the receiver speaker setup menu and subwoofer should say yes next to it. If your speakers are set to large subwoofer should say "plus" next to it on the menu.

ChrisI have the same situation, the sub is in the far corner of my combined kitchen / family room, to the far left of my TV and sound bar. The location in the room makes no difference as far as I can tell. In fact the setup menu lets you adjust the sub for location, but I just leave it on the default which sounds great.I am planning to get on remote speaker to sit behind me in the kitchen so I will have full surround sound.Good luck to you!

I gave up trying, so I haven't checked in a while. I mostly use mine for live playing with Mainstage. But, I'd love to know the answer myself... Let me know!

No problem. Takes a few seconds for sub to come on. Really like it and sounds great.

Everything turns on/off based on the setting (or "sound profile") you are using from the pre-set options. But ultimately, there is no manual off/on button for the sub-woofer, if that's what you mean.

Hi all,I just got the unit and it does switch well. I have one problem though: once I operate the source linked to OUTPUT B (pause, click DVD menu, ...), the unit shuts off the B output and I have to reset it or reselect the B source each time ! Since it takes 5s for the unit to sync each time you select something, this is getting annoying ! It does not "lock" into the setup I want.Can I disable the "smart" input recognition/crap ?Thanks.

The only thing that mine does is to change from stereo to mono and it only does this when in FM mode. The manual states there are 11 presets, but it does not seem to be so. At least there are separate buttons for treble and bass anyway, which is good to have the control.
