Direct and Stereo and Meridian Soundfields or Presets

These will be overridden by the "Setting" used

Suggest you go to Page 46 of the 861v6 Manual

** Use the Instructions there to to determine the "Type" (or Setting) that your 861 is currently set to

** It could show anything from Type 0 to Type 5, but Type 0 or 1 is likely in your case, as Analog speakers. It could also display a different Name that your Dealer or Installer has used. In this case, it's best not to change it

** If the 861 is set to Type 0 (which is no Sub on Music Presets) then try changing to Type 1 (which will activate the Sub for Music)

Of course, using the Meridian MConfig program (if you have it) is the best way to determine what is currently being used and also for making changes

The 802D's are more than capable of handling all the Bass Frequencies of Older and Modern CD's and IMHO a Sub will be very hard to dial in properly. Movies are a different matter and the LFE Setting in Type 0 or 1 can be used for that.

At least play around with the Direct versus Stereo Presets to see whether the Sub adds anything. Most around here don't feel like it adds too much when one is already using Large Main Fronts
