definitely will look up the disk, thanks.

Really like the bass enhancer, it circumvents using 2 sets
of interconnects from Pre/Pro to Amp & Sub and, so far, seems to
work pretty seamlessly. We gave +10dB a try; seems good for movies,
but a bit much (unnatural) for music, but fun to play with at first.
A listen to Patti Smith's "Gung Ho" generated >concert levels and kicked in the overload protection on the sub! We're going to try +5dB.

A question that comes to mind about control interactions:
since both the DVD player and the Pre/Pro have bass management, etc.,
I would mention that fellow inmates might want to be aware of the
potential interaction of competing crossovers, etc., to obtain optimal
sound. Obvious, but may not be so obvious that both units are
set to do redundant tasks by default. Something to check.

New speaks are coming, so we get to start all over again!!
Actually, it's fun, Kathy's just as much an audio/video nut as I am,
so all this is long-awaited fun.

Dave and Kathy.
