Help with PSW505 in Home Theater

So, I figured everything out with the sound inputs. However, another question has arisen. When playing music my PSW505 is very good, good low bass and good spectrum. However, when I play a movie through the same setup, its almost as if the subwoofer "loses" something, its not the same subwoofer, it doesnt hit low and hard, and tends to not have much impact. Any suggestions?

    +1, LFE is the way to go, esp. for HT. You may have to change the settings when you go from music to movies, or find a happy medium, since the two have different needs as far as bass is concerned.
