Marty, Thanks for your response. I'm not sure if my player has bass mgmt... so, I'm assuming it probably doesn't. What is bass management in a disc player? I was under the assumption that bass managment occured between the receiver, sub and speakers? I'll check out the ICBM. Thanks again. I have the JVC XV-FA900BK... i just copied and pasted some features listed on the jvc website for this particular product (not sure what features refer to bass mgmt): 7-disc carousel with Play& Exchange Plays DVD-Audio,DVD Video, DVD-R, CD,CD-R/RW, SVCD, VCD, MP3Formats and Digital Stills (JPEG on CD-R/RW) Built-in Dolby Digital/ DTS Multi-channel Decoders High-bit/high-sampling (10-bit/54MHz video D/A converter) Component Video, Composite Video, and S-Video terminals 192kHz/24-bit P.E.M.

Technically, my post doesn't belong under ProMedia because my system is 6.1 and there is no subsection for 6.1 under ProMedia. I didn't know I'd be so offensive in trying to ask a general technical home audio question just in attempts to gain further knowledge. I'm sorry it upsets some of you. For those that can look past these superficial differences in the interpretation of forum ettiquette, please answer my original question regarding analog connection for DVD-A... or be forewarned, I'll post under every single topic and trade in my Klipsh for some B&W's (joke).

I need a bit of clarification on the DVD-Audio cables since I'm new to area component/home theater. I currently have the optical cable from my player to my receiver for digital audio; additionally, for DVD-Audio I have hooked the 6 analog outputs from the player to the receiver via 3 rca cables (1 for R/L main; 1 for R/L rear; and 1 for the sub and center channel). Problem is there is virtually NO low-end to the music via the DVD-A. I'm assuming I need other cables to hook for the sub analog connection between the player and receiver? But exactly what is the name of the cable needed and why is a traditional RCA cable (w/ R/L plugs) not sufficient? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for replying. I have configured my main L & R (SB2) to small and my SC1 center to small also. My sub is connected to the sub-out from my Yamaha HTR-5590. The owner's manual for the KSW-12 is not very descriptive. I just have a sub-cable running into the L/LFE on the sub... the diagram indicates a Y plug into the L & R... but the salesperson told me the Right was for "bypassing" and only plugging into the L/LFE was necessary. Is this true or do I really need a Y-connector? Thanks in advance.

Please help/advise. I'm completely new to the world of home A/V equipment. I went from an easy HTIB unit to components and am having trouble with setting my sub. I have to turn the sub level control to 7 in order to hear it from my listening position. This seems awfully extreme. I had purchased Boston Acousitc Sub (system 9000II) that was much more loud but not as low and distinctive as the Klipsch ksw-12... so I swaped 'em. But the KSW12 doesn't seem to kick in as often. I read previously in the forum, that there is cardboard in the sub to protect it... is this true... I have looked and don't see any... could it be stuffed in the port? Thanks for any advice you can provide to a newbie.
