ead 8800pro sub question


When using my Ead8800p in 5.1 movie surround mode I get reinforcement from my subwoofer. When listening to two channel I can not get the sub to work at all.

Im using Revel Studios set to large range
I have a sub xover point set at 60hz (via bassman)

Is there a way to activate 2.1, mains plus sub decoding?

thanks in adv.

I read the manual and couldnt fin anything in there.
My dealer told me if you go into stereomode and select a sub it would enable it, but as far as I can tell there is only one sub setting which applies through all 2.0, 5.1 and 7.1 modes. With my old equipment you could have sub activated per input regardless of whther it was 2 or 6 channel.
maybe they fixed this in a leter software rev, Im still running 2.4, awaiting 3.0 whoch is on its way to me.

Still, great sounding unit regardless.
Does anything else change apart from the sub being activated when I set front speakers to small? They are revel studios which are hardly small range speakers?

Should I leave them set to small for all modes (music and movies) or can I set them to large for moviews and small for music?

sorry to complicate matters - just seems odd having large speakers and setting them to small.
Steve,

Please dont apologise for not knowing something you obviosuly know! Thank you, you know more than my dealer!

I'll give it a go when the v3 ROM arrives.

Have you found any tweaks that the 8800p responds well too? Isolation, power cables etc? Im using one of Chris Venhaus' Flavour 4 cables which are big awkward buggers to get in place but they do sound great, and they arent that expensive either.
