I am using a Panasonic CP-72. I have all 5 speakers set to large, the sub turned off.
I only run 5 cables to the 950. I don't run the sub. I 'hang' my sub on the 950 sub output, analog switch set to 'ON'. Everything below 80 Hz is directed to the sub via the 950.
I do not understand why a DVD player would have a Large setting for the mains if it does not include bass information to the 'large' speakers.
I am getting the full spectrum to all outputs from the player. If I am missing something, I don't know what it is, unless it's something below 15 Hz that would crack the foundation of my house. We call those earthquakes in California.
BTW I have the digital output of the player turned off, and the standard stereo (analog) output from the player fed to the CD input of the 950.
