    The only real reason I got this was because I wanted to be able to listen to old CDs and cassette tapes on a good sound system. Previously I only had the record player, which sounded great without a receiver. This receiver took some of the bass away, which was disappointing, so I had to buy a subwoofer to compensate. You CAN hook up a subwoofer to this, you just need an active subwoofer and you need to use all the Speaker B outputs. YouTube can show you how. Super easy.

      Hi Andy, We're glad that you like the great sound quality. Your feedback is greatly appreciated. Unfortunately, this AV receiver doesn't have a dedicated output for a subwoofer.
