Anyone familiar with the Sony STR-DB790 AV receiver?

I was just wondering about connecting a sub woofer... does this need an active or passive subwoofer? I know what the difference is, but the manual doesn't state whether the sub output is amplified or not.

Anyone on here know???

Cheers
Mike

Active sub needed.
Difference is that one has onboard amplification ( active) and one doesnt (passive).
Try www.avforums.com for any info you may need.

Mike what I did was use one side of the amp you are replacing to drive a £100 woofer that can also go in the car. Long sentence there but it all makes sense to me
