Limited knowledge newbie here so excuse the simple question and lack of links and pics I'd like to post.. I want to finally connect my powered subwoofer JBL Northridge E150P to my Sony STR-DE197 receiver, which doesn't have subwoofer out. The receiver does have Video out and Minidisk/Tape out. I mostly, exclusively right now, play FM. I wasn't sure if the video out would feed sub in FM or only a video input signal, but I assume I'd have receiver volume control. If not, I think the Tape out will output whatever source I'm playing like FM, but I wasn't sure if it is fixed level output and no volume control. (edit both video and md/tape audio out play FM only at fixed volume) The sub does have speaker level inputs, but if I had to go that low fidelity route, I don't think I'd bother. I suppose I could try hooking up the sub and find out but I wanted to ask here first
