I'm adding surround sound to my audio equiment. I have a vintage pioneer
sx-1250 that I use as a primary system. I picked up an audiosource surround
sound processor and now I'm feeding all my video sources through it and then
using my pioneer as the fronts. I still have regular stereo sources hooked
directly to my pioneer, fm, satellite radio and itunes. I have not added a
subwoofer yet but I'm looking at that now. I'm ok with the rear and center
channel speakers only being used for video as I have two big floor speakers
on my main system. But I would like to have the option of using the sub
with the stereo sources as well as video. So my question. My 5.1 processor
has a sub out. What I don't know is if that is really a separate channel or
does the surround processor just strip off the lows and send it out the sub
connection. If it's the later then I can just run a sub off the pioneer.
If not then I need to figure a way to have two different inputs to the sub
if I want to use it with the stereo as well as the surround sound. Sorry to
be long winded :-) tia.
