I have a love-hate relationship with my Logitech. Yes, you can control it - you may have to try several different McIntosh models and manually capture some of the IR codes.

Sub won't work for 2 channel. If the sub has multiple inputs then you could use one of the unused C 2700 outputs to drive it, making sure you turn off that feed when using the preamp in passthru. Or, if your sub has speaker level inputs then you can hook it up (with great care!) to the 601's. You would also end up having to run a separate LFE signal to the sub from the AVR or run the mains as large and run LFE into them.

Depending on the vintage of your HT receiver, you could run the OppO 7.1 channel analog into the HT receiver. For example my McIntosh MX 151 won't decode the latest audio formats, but the OppO will, so I use the 7.1 channel analog connection.

Thanks Tom for all the valuable information. It’s good to know I seem to have a handle on passthru and triggers. I’ve been running the 601’s currently this way from the sr7012.

It’s good to hear the Logitech should still work. I’ve had great luck with the Logitech up to this point. It’s a wife saver if you know what I mean. It’s unfortunate Logitech has decided to drop its remote line. I thought about picking an extra one up just in case but I’m not sure if they will continue with the web interface.

The sub area is going to require some investigating work on my part. I have a velodyne minivee10 which has line-level AND speaker-level connects but I want to be positive about the wiring before I try it. The last thing I want is to damage pre-amp, amps or speakers. If you don’t mind I might be asking you more about the sub later. Eventually I want to move up to a pair of Rel subs. One step at a time.

When I first got my OppO I ran 5.1 analog with hdmi straight to TV because my older av receiver couldn’t handle the latest codes but the sr7012 does all that I need.
