">

can someone tell me how I should set up my onkyo 905 to a asw300 sub

I cant make head or tail of all the connections on the back of the asw300

and also is it possible to set it up for home cinema and stereo?

a picture says more than a thousand words

thanks

greetings Emile

I have now added a picture

I gather I use a interlink from subwoofer out on the onkyo to the subwoofer in on the B&W

but what are all the other switches for and which one do I use

thanks

greetings Emile

Settings as you have them now look fine to me.

Switch the power to 'on' while you run the Onkyo's auto-calibration, then back to 'auto' when it's all set.

Finished.

Andrew thanks for the reply

do i need to put my speakers on large or small in the onkyo?

and what crossover point do i set in the onkyo

thanks again greetings Emile

 

[Andrew Everard]

Well, the Onkyo should set its own crossover point and determine the speaker size during the Audyssey calibration run.

Which speakers are you using where in your system?

DM 330i front

lcr3center

tannoy Dc6 rear which i will replace for DM 303

and use the tannoy and rotel for stereo

If those are the big ugly as sin old 330is, I'd set the front channels to large, and the sub roll-off to the 80Hz THX position.

Andrew Everard:If those are the big ugly as sin old 330is,

yes they are

I really really have tried other speakers

but every time i get home and put the same music on that I auditioned with

I think that sounds nicer than what I have just heard

auditioned so far

tannoy Dc6 (got a good deal on those so I have been using them as rears)

bmw cm1

bmw cm7

pmc db1

any advice?

I was thinking b&w 684

so I put the rest of the speakers on small?

crossover the same as the 330i?

thanks anyway for your help and advice

greetings Emile

I was only teasing. They are excellent speakers, from memory, but not pretty by any standards!

I'd experiment with running the centre as small, but the front L/R and rears as large.

Hi Andrew

you say try the center on small

in the onkyo I don't have a specific small setting I have Full-band or 40 up to 200 which do you recommend
