Dan, just to clarify a point of terminology, when it was mentioned previously that your player and receiver wouldn't allow "bass management" on the 6 analog inputs, this had nothing to do with the regular bass and treble tone controls, which always work. What can't be done is sending bass from your "small" speakers to your sub, with the result that you lose some ability to reproduce low bass, and which presumably would be noticeable at times.
