Just to prolong this thread unnecessarily however, it appears that with M60s large and bass out both, only the sub would get LFE; the bass out setting "FRNT" on the 2400(or "MAIN" on yours)would send LFE to the front mains.
Unless the 2400 is different, my 540 manual clearly states that BOTH sends LFE to the mains.

I'm eating crow here... JohnK had me reread my Yamaha manual.
Setting BOTH does NOT send LFE information to the mains. Setting BASS (Bass Out Mode) to BOTH sends LFE (.1 channel) to the sub and Low-frequency (ie: main program material below the crossover point) to both the mains and the subwoofer.
Selecting MAIN for the BASS setting does ignore the speaker setting of "SMALL" if it is set.
I humbly stand corrected.

You know, the first manufacturer that has a logic-driven setup that involves a series of questions: "Do you want deep bass coming out of your Center speaker?"..."Since you've indicated that you have a subwoofer, would you like the deepest bass to go through your sub or your main speakers?" will sell thousands to HT newbies and people who would have otherwise bought an HTIB.

... and the first manufacturer that includes a diagram showing the signal flow through the processing blocks and a coherent explanation of what the options do will sell thousands to everyone else
This is what drives me nuts about the way our industries handle high tech (computers & peripherals included). Instructions, interfaces and documentation are "dumbed down" for the newbies (but still totally unintelligible to them) and in the process the product becomes opaque and confusing even for people who *do* understand the domain.

I misread the manual on this, the correct information WAS in there. Now, to my credit, it talks all through the SPEAKER SET documentation about the two types of low frequency sources (LFE channel and the low-frequency stuff rolled off when a speaker is set to small) and how the setting of 1E BASS determines where these go. On the bottom of the explanation of what BOTH means is a little blurb like (well, when we say both, we don't really mean both... what we mean is both for that low-freq signal stuff and sub-only for the LFE channel...) someone get these writers a dictionary!
