Stereo Sub Outputs for non-DVD Audio Source - 11/09/02 02:05 AM
I have mono sub output from my Onkyo 797 THX receiver, an ICBM-1 between the Onkyo receiver and a Toshiba SD9200 DVD Audio player using a whole bunch of beautiful Outlaw pearly cables. My current set up is to use a splitter at the Onkyo receiver's mono sub-out and cabling to 2 subwoofers.
I'd like to use the stereo sub-out function of the Outlaw, but, if I understand correctly, the subs will only work when I use the DVD as the source. I also use digital cable as a source for TV, cable movies and snoozic.
I figure that if I use the stereo sub-outs from the ICBM-1, I will not have any subwoofer function at all if I use the digital cable box as a source.
Does this sound correct?
I also figure that if I use an outboard 7 channel amplifier I could put the Outlaw ICBM between the receiver and the outboard amplifier, but this would be a very expensive choice so I could watch TV with stereo subs.
Any thoughts from the ICBM mavens out there?
