:confused: I recently decided to tried to upgrade my home theater system. I secured a scvr (Onkyo TX-SR600) from my buddy and purchaced a SVS 20-39 powered sub with Ascend CMT-340 mains, CMT-340 center, and CMT-170 surrounds after reading reviews on this webside.
My problem is...the sound is unreal while watching a DVD. The sub is unbelievable! Great depth and more than I expected! However, when playing a CD, watching TV/Cable, or listening to the radio the sub is not working. My installer could not figure it out either. His gut feeling is that there may be a problem with my rcvr.
I understand that there is usually a differenced in sound quality b/t digital and analog, but would that cause the sub to stop working?? I called SVS and they mentioned that I could run my fronts into the sub first and then to the fronts, but I already had a retrograde installation in my house for the speakers and my sub is located in the rear of a very large room.
Any suggestions?
Confused!
