Yo!
Looking to "retore" my sub woofer sound after I somehow disfigured it. The problem only persists when I play CD'S and not when I play movies via 5.1 or DTS. I have a Panasonic DVD-S77 player with a Marantz SR 7000 receiver. I replaced my Sony DVP-C670D 5 disc changer with the Panasonic to handle the up-conversion etc. with only a configuration change to handle the HDMI. Oddly enough, I could only play CD'S for a short period of time before the player would cut out. The only way I could play them ongoing is if I routed the signal thru the HDMI path it seems. This would the require the TV to be on with the HDMI logo across the full screen. Crappy, having to listen to CD's with the TV on with this logo across it. I have my Samsung 5064 TV hooked up via component video from my DVD player and COAX audio from the DVD player to my receiver down one audio path. I also have HDMI running from my cable box to the TV with an alternate COAX audio path from the cable box to the receiver. After numerous attempts at working with the menu set-up for both units, I somehow managed to change the configuration to play CD'S continously ,however it only allows 2 channel stereo with no sub woofer output.The 5 channel stereo option with this receiver is no longer available as some of the other sound formats like "hall" etc. I'm tryin & dyin. "Anybody out there"
Very Hard Thanks
I could not get the manual of the SR 7000 to Download, but I downloaded the SR 7001, which I trust is similar. On page 38 of this manual, this is what you need.

When you use a subwoofer, you can select the cutoff
frequency for the small speakers used. Select one of
the crossover frequency levels according to the size
of the small speakers connected.
60Hz → 80Hz → 100Hz → 120Hz → 140Hz →
160Hz → 180Hz
Note:
• If using small front speakers, set a slightly higher
frequency. If using large front speakers, set a slightly
lower frequency.
BASS MIX
• The bass mix setting is only valid when “LARGE”
is set for the front speakers and “YES” is set for the
subwoofer during stereo playback.
This setting has effect only during playback of
PCM or analog stereo sources.
• When “BOTH” is selected, the low frequencies will
be played through the main L&R speakers and the
subwoofer.
In this playback mode, the low frequency range
expands more uniformly throughout the room, but
depending on the size and shape of the room,
interference may result in a decrease of the actual
volume of the low frequency range.
• By selecting “MIX”, the low frequencies will play
through the main L&R only. This selection is
preferred by THX.
Note:
• LFE signals during playback of Dolby Digital or
DTS will be played through the subwoofer.
7. After you complete this portion of the setup,
move the cursor to “NEXT” with the 3, 4, 1
and 2 cursor buttons and press the OK/ENTER
In essence you have to select both in the bass mix menu, if your left and rights are large. Otherwise you only get the LFE channel, and not bass from CDs. If you speakers are set to small and sub Yes is selected, then I think the sub will always work.
You should be able to connect your CD player to the correct input and enable it. You should not have to send it via the TV.
