Hi
I have just purchased a Lyngdorf amplifier with bass management and room correction, which I want to use to manage the front L&R and subwoofer in my 5.1 system.
I have the Audiocom Signature version of the Oppo 105D and I want to use its multichannel analogue outputs into my Audiolab Processor, with the Audiolab in 7.1 bypass mode, as this clearly sounds superior to the Audiolab doing the processing.
To achieve this, what I need to be able to do in the Oppo's "Audio Processing" menu is set the front L&R speakers to "large" and divert the LFE channel and the low frequencies from the centre and surrounds into the front L&R. I'm not sure whether or not this is possible because the "Down Mix" function offers no option for a 5.0 down mix (the choices are stereo, LT/RT, and 5.1) and the choice for the subwoofer is either "on" or "off" rather than "none". What I'm wondering is, when the subwoofer is switched "off", does this mean 1) that the LFE and all low frequencies from the "small" speaker channels are lost, or 2) that all this sound is diverted to the front L&R, as I want?
Can anyone tell me the solution please?
Thanks,
David.
