SubWoofer settings

EmperorNorton:
this is not really a repair question.  I have a Yamaha HTR-6280 hooked up to two fronts, two sides, center and a subwoofer.  It appears that the subwoofer is only engaged when I am in 5.1 or greater. (various movie modes)  I thought I could set it up so that the subwoofer would take the lows when playing the front speakers (which would be "2.1", I assume)   Anything I might be missing?  I think on my older Sony I had to select PCM to get the sub to play with jut the two front speakers .

thanks for any suggestions
Mike

Sir Thrift-a-Lot:
Many receivers do not have a 2.1 (sadly, IMHO).   They add all of those stupid, useless "matrix" settings, but don't give the one that would actually be beneficial.

scorpio333:
Not familiar with that particular receiver. Is it possible each mode requires setup? One of mine did each mode independently, the sub could be on or off for each. My current Yamaha has so many settings it might be 2019 before I figure it all out.

OldiesButGoodies:
It should work in 2 ch  stereo  - make sure you set the front speakers to small.  That will get you output in the sub.

OBG,

I've read many times the rule of thumb in HT is to set all speakers to SMALL and route all the bass to the subwoofer.  However, Audyssey sets all my speakers to LARGE, which they are in the HT (except the CC).  What to you think about this rule of thumb on setting HT speaker size?
