If you have the speakers all set to large, Mono does nothing i think. So only with a 5.1 movie source you would have output from the woofer since that is set at LFE.
So that you have more output with the setting mono compared to LFE does not sound strange to me. If you have that with DVD's the bass information under the crossover freuqency is also sent to the woofer. In setting LFE, only the LFE track information is sent there.
Steve,
Was your impression that the Sine Wave generator has a problem ? Or a problem in the software for bass management in the Meridian.
I think some (test)DVD are also wrong with their LFE levels.
I have all speakers set to small, crossover around 70 Hz and mono/mono/mono
Tonight i will try to test this as well. I think either Avia or DVD platinum has the right info in the LFE track.
