That make perfect sence - except for one thing...
The 950 doesn't behave that way!

I set my center to "small" and my mains to "large".

I used the Avia disk to play W/B pink noise in the center channel.

I disconnected the RCA plug going to the amp for the center channel so that all I heard was bass.
I then powerd off my sub and heard nothing. No bass from the mains at all!

Perhaps some processors do this, but not this one!
