Hi Russ,

Fetch/Store
First, a word of caution with "Fetching", it is ok to get your initial setup from the processor but after that don't use this feature as not all the setup comes back. It is far better to treat the Mconfig .msl file(s) as the master source for your configuration and only store it back to the processor. Also when you make significant changes make a copy and rename the file, this way you build an archive of your configs over time. (e.g. 2013-12-19 861, HD621 Initial Setup.msl)

Once you have a "first cut" Mconfig store it in the processor et al. Then you can proceed to refine with the speaker calibration and MRC, storing back to the processor as required.

Bass management
If a speaker is defined as large the system will not redirect any bass that is intended for that channel.

If a speaker is defined as small, then the system will redirect a proportion of the bass away from that speaker. The amount redirected is controlled by the cut off frequency.

The "Bass flow" arrows in Mconfig do display what the routing will be. Note there are different layouts for Music, Movie (2ch) and Movie (multi-channel).

I think a lot of people feel uncomfortable about setting their physically large speakers a 'small', but if you want to unload some of the bass from them then this is what is required. It's where the cut off frequency is set that determines how much is redirected.

I'll have a look at your config file, just email it over to me and a description of what you wish to achieve.

Regards,
Carl
