1400 wierdness?
One question for you guys with RX-V1400/2400 -- When does your sub come on while listening to music? I just bought a Velodyne DLS-3500 and it dooesn't seem to want to come on in "Direct" mode, only in the DSP modes. Does this thing only power those two channels and not the sub out in this mode? I checked the manual and can't find anything that refers to direct mode and sub operation...
As far as the presence speakers, i think it's pretty clear, even on Yamaha's website, that this is a 7 channel amp and that it's a one-or-the-other situation with those pressence channels...
I've only got 5 speakers and the sub and have been impressed with the sound, though I sometimes get up and check to see if the surrounds are doing anything. It seems most of the time they, quietly waiting to scare the **** out of me with some explosion. Otherwise, they're just playing what the fronts are playing at a softer volume.
Best-
Xant
