I've got a vintage stereo system (pioneer sx1250) as my primary sound
system
and an Audio Source ss5 decoder for my surround sound. I run my dvd
player
through the ss5 and then to my stereo. It seems to be working well for
me.
I only use the surround sound for dvds. Other music sources I run
straight
through my two primary channels only.
I don't have a subwoofer and I'm thinking about adding one. The ss5 has a
subwoofer out but a subwoofer is one thing that I'd probably like to also
use with other music sources.
So my question is does the dolby surround sound actually have a specific
subwoofer component? Or is the ss5 just picking off the lows and feeding
them out the subwoofer connection? In other words do I need to use the
ss5
subwoofer output to get the maximum surround sound effect or can I just
feed
the subwoofer from my front two channels after the ss5? TIA.
