Onkyo 576 with PASSIVE SUB?

[admin_exported]

Hi all,

I have just purchased a new Onkyo 576 and am waiting delivery. I currently have a Wharfedale passive sub, and I was wondering if the Onkyo will be able to handle it.

Any help greatly appreciated,

Regards,

No, the Onkyo has no amplification built-in for the subwoofer channel - in common with most AV receivers - and will need to be used with an active sub, or a power amp between its sub output and a passive subwoofer.

Thanks Andrew,
So am I right in thinking that no sort of passive sub will work? Are there any exceptions?

You're absolutely right.
