Can this receiver support a non-powered woofer? null

There is no specific subwoofer output. You could use the "B" speaker section to power a subwoofer and the "A" speakers to power a pair of main speakers. However, your subwoofer would then be seeing a full-range signal. You could get around this by using a passive low-pass filter that was rated around 100-120hz. If it's a non-powered subwoofer, it's probably not rated to take a whole lot of power. I would recommend looking into a receiver that had a dedicated sub output as well as a powered sub. You can find one that is pretty inexpensive from a variety of sources.

Yes, if you have a non-powered type woofer you would simply wire it between the speakers, meaning the wires would go out from the receiver into the subwoofer out to the speakers.

Only if the subwoofer is rated less than 100 watts rms, I would say about 50-75 watts rms, it will have to be in a really good enclosure, and the "boom" or low sounds may be limited. The stereo has settings for bass and treble only. I would lower the treble as much as possible and increase the bass, however I feel like the subwoofer will still want to play highs and mids because the signal coming into the stereo will have a full range of music. you will also have to run the subwoofer through one of the channels.

Sub woofers are usually in home entertainment systems. This unit should not be considered as a replacement for a home entertainment system. This unit is more like a traditional stereo component.

No, this has an unpowered bass channel.
