Wow, this board is exactly what I was looking for to get some technical help. I have a Pioneer Elite ES1000DV HTiB, but the subwoofer and two connecting cables were stolen three weeks ago. Pioneer tells me that I can't use any other sub, and worse, they don't sell a replacement sub. So, according to Pioneer, the whole system is now useless. I am relying on you all to prove Pioneer wrong. The cables connect from the receiver to the sub, and the center, front and rear speakers (5 of them) connect to the sub. Please help me determine whether I can salvage this system somehow. Thanks
