I am curious if it is possible to run a powered sub in 2 channel with an integra DHC 80.2? I cant seem to get it working. I know you can with onkyo receivers but it doesnt seem possible with this integra processor. Thanks for any help you can give.
Hey erik thanks for the reply. Yes Audessey did detect the sub and it does run in multi channel. It runs in all channel stereo just not in stereo. Just cant figure it out.
Im sorry for the late response... I ran into some family trouble and have been out of the country for the past month. sorry what I meant was when I am running in stereo I cant seem to get the sub to run. IT seems I have tried everything to no success. I do really appreciate the help by the way.
PS. I have the sub hooked up with a single ended sub cable. When I try to run it in stereo I only get the mains without the sub. There is no option to turn the sub on in stereo as there is with the onkyo equivilent. I am just wondering if there is something I am missing. I have read the manual and have found nothing regarding this. I hope that makes my problem a little more clear. thanks again for any help.
Could it possibly be that I am using balanced connections for my fronts, rears, and center, and a single ended connection for my sub? Maybe I should hook my sub up with an xlr to rca connection and see if that works. Would that make sense?
Possibly, I just find it unusual that the onkyo equivilent has the ability to run a sub in 2 channel stereo. I am going to see if it has multiple memory settings and if so I will do what you suggest in regards to turning the center and surrounds off. Thank you very much for the suggestion.
I just noticed when I press the display button on the remote it comes up as stereo output: 2.0. It looks like it may be impossible to play a sub in stereo with the integra. I appreciate the help. If you happen upon anything in the future please post it in this thread and I will look back in here from time to time. Thanks again for the help
Sorry for the late reply once again. Bill, you were right, once I turned the mains to 40 htz cut off my sub plays. I guess I should have tried this before but with my old onkyo I could have it set to full range and still have the sub play. I really appreciate all your help guys as this was driving me crazy. Thanks again
