I own a Technics SH500D and can tell you that if you set it to small front channels, then try to play 2 channel through it (the "pass through" mode), bass below 80 or 100 Hz will be filtered out (on the front channels/2 channel stereo). This setup is used when an HT system is set up with the low frequencies going only to the subwoofer output (when decoding a digital signal such as DTS or Dolby Digital). If you want full-range 2 channel stereo in "pass through" mode, you have to set up your "front" speakers as large in the speaker configuration mode.
