Integrating 440 with Cinema
#1
Happy New Year Guys!

I do hope someone has some pearls of wisdom that can help me with an integration issue.

Equipment for my new listening/ entertainments room:

440 Pro
Triangle Deltas for Hifi mainly
Triangle Delta Centre Speaker (for Cinema)
SVS SB-2000 Sub (both Hifi & Cinema)
Kef R Dipoles (Surround)
Kef R100s (Rear)
Kef in-ceiling Ci200 Speakers (4)
Anthem MRX 1120 Receiver

OK, so I integrate the two front Triangles using the Anthem front left/right Pre-outs linked to the 440 using line-in and by-pass settings - Done
The centre Triangle is driven directly from the Anthem as is all but the Subwoofer.

The Subwoofer is currently driven by the 440 for Hifi.

The problems:

1. there is a marked difference in the 'loudness' of the Triangle fronts when driven by the anthem in comparison with anything directly driven, but I am assuming that there must be some sort of 'gain' slider in the input config for the 'line In' on the 440?????

2. I am somewhat at a loss as to how to utilise the Subwoofer as it is directly wired to the 440, so how to pass LFE from Anthem to Sub via the 440? Huh

3. The Subwoofer will switch to standby mode if there is no 'play' activity from the 440 after say 5 mins, but does not 'wake up' when you recommence music playing?
I cannot remember this being a problem with the 400 before it was updated to 440?

I am aware that there may be some 'trigger' input on the Sub, but since I am already using a trigger wire betwix the two units (cos I have input connections utilised on both), I am not sure what to do?

4. For some reason, even though you 'blank out' any inputs you dont need in the 440 config, they STILL seem to be in the list of inputs you need to navigate when switching sources?? V Annoying! Angry This did not happen with the 400 Expert!

Thoughts on the issues above would be gratefully received! Cool

Cheers
