Tonight tried your suggestion while watching transformers. Actually, I was not very happy with the way the audio track was sounding, so I started mucking with some settings, and LRG mains, and sub L/R +sub, seemed to improve things quite a bit in the soundtrack. I will try it out with a few more movies, and if all goes well am going to leave it like that. It definitely is much easier to manage, especially since I have a passive SVS sub, keeping the sub out of the mix for 2 ch is very simple, just don't flick the power switch on the amp it shares with the center....this may work out nicely, Thanks Gonk.
