[quote]I don't think the 3800 redirects LFE to the mains if the subwoofer is set to "off". It'll just ignore whatever is on that channel. This is the case for DVD-A as well as DD and DTS that are decoded by the 3800's DACs. Unfortunately, Denon believes the "redirect" functionality belongs exclusively to the receiver or pre/pro, not DVD players.

So you are saying if I set the DVD3800 to "no subwoofer", then any low freq. signal is ignored.......wow!!!! Now I'm really confused!
Would it be OK to use the subwoofer out on the DVD player and plug into the 950 multi channel subwoofer input, then let the 950 "know" there is no subwoofer, and make the adjustments from there......
I didn't think by telling the DVD player there is no subwoofer that it would then not pass the signal along somehow.......Am I making sense?????
