My H/K has two analog modes--direct and DVD audio. Direct passes a fullrange signal to the speakers. DVD audio utilizes the crossover setting in the receiver and sends a signal to the sub. I've been using the DVD audio setting mainly to help drown out my noisy downstair neighbors. I'm convinced they have small satellite speakers and a sub that tries to do everything. When they watch tv (all the time with the volume cranked) all I hear is the rumbling of bass in male voices. Anyways. . .

I know my Denon 2900 has a direct mode, but I haven't used it in a long time. I think you can set it so it shuts of all extraneous video settings, and I think you can make it only pass a full range signal. I'll have to dig out the manual.
