OP is right. Use the sub output connected to the LFE input and use the bass management/crossovers in the Pioneer. The speaker connections are for backwards compatibility with older equipment.

Subwoofer How To?
I have a modest HT setup, a 3 channel rig consisting of a pair of Acoustic Energy Aegis Ones, a B&W CC2 center channel and a Pioneer Elite HT receiver. This is completely separate from my two channel audio rig. I want to incorporate a modest, used (inexpensive) subwoofer into my system for low level effects. I've never owned a subwoofer and have some questions about how to hook one into my system.
My receiver has a sub-out line. When looking at pictures of subs for sale on A'gon and elsewhere I see that most subs have speaker outputs on them. Do I run a line out to a sub, and then hook the L, R and/or center speaker into the subwoofer? I always assumed that the sub connected via the sub-out line, and that the rest of the speakers remained connected to the receiver. Here's an example of what I'm talking about:

So how do you correctly connect a subwoofer to your HT receiver??
