Reed - I assume that these questions relate to the Model 950 and its bass management.

1. When all channels are set to large, the only data that should be sent to a subwoofer is the .1 channel of a Dolby Digital 5.1 or DTS soundtrack. No bass from the other channels would be re-directed to the subwoofer.

2. Technically, one could argue that the .1 channel refers only to the LFE channel contained in Dolby Digital and DTS soundtracks, which is not derived from the other channels. The subwoofer output from the 950 (and any similar processor) will include the .1 channel and any redirected bass that might exist (depending on the bass management settings that have been selected).

3. The 950's center channel is full range when set to "large" and is not bass limited. This should be the case for all Dolby Digital and DTS processors, as both surround formats include full range channels for center and surround, as well as Dolby Pro Logic II. On the other hand, it was not true of Dolby Pro Logic; the matrixed center and surround channels that Pro Logic used were frequency limited (although I forget what the exact upper and lower limits were).
