Wait, what? NO!
I have a combined 2 channel / HT setup. The AV processor is OFF when listening to music. No need for a center channel.
Conversely, for casual TV watching, I often don’t use the two front speakers, just the center.
Who turns center off when listening to music
Regarding 3.1 systems. When listening to music; Who deactivates the center channel via the processor?
And with surround systems who goes back to 2.1 when listening to music. Do any of the processors have presets you can you for this?
