Blu-ray and HD DVD to Subwoofer - can I do this?
I have always connected my DVD player directly to my sub and I'd like to continue to do this. If I want to connect both my Blu-ray and my HD DVD players to my sub, what do I need? 
Thanks in advance  |

You would need both players to have multi-channel analogue outs obviously and I suppose a 2-1 phono adapter like this!

Re: Blu-ray and HD DVD to Subwoofer - can I do this?
The problem with this setup is getting the levels right for the seperate sources but I guess that is just a matter of fiddling with an SPL meter in hand.
The easiest solution is of course to route everything through a Processor or Reciever but I expect you have some reason not to do that?

How do you control the volume?

You shouldn't plug two outputs into one input at the same time.
