gonk,i figured there was no bass management with the 5.1 in,but,do you set the levels with the denon or are the levels adjustable with the 1050?i assume it would be done with the denon,but with no test tone through the sub,do you set the sub manual(by ear with the source disc) or not at all?i don't have the denon yet because of this question.i like bass but not 0db all the time smile
