Yes. It was hooked up with using the two RCA connections on the back (two into one connection). With the new receiver it does not work with the 2-1 connection or the LFE connection. If the subwoofer does not work, it it work getting it repaired or purchase a new one. I hate tossing a great sounding and looking subwoofer (electronic waste disposal). I'm using Yahama surround sound speakers. I don't believe there is a setting on the new Sony receiver for large or small speaker.
Thanks!!
