I'm just using the AUX dual mono inputs on the reciever so i can have the mains work so I can run the mains, rears, center and sub all together, and THEN start using REW...correct?
No, you never use anything but the subwoofer and mains with REW. Turn of all effects and soundfields and set your receiver in stereo mode. Always leave it that way when using REW.

The purpose of REW is as a tool to recommend filters to enter into the equalizer to result in a proper subwoofer response in your room.

You start using REW with the mains turned off and the subwoofer only playing. Then you equalize the sub with REW recommended filters and remeasure and tweak until you're satisfied with the result.

Then you turn on the mains speakers to see the overall response of the sub + mains. Attention at that point is paid to the level between the two and the crossover region (i.e. 80HZ) for any newly formed dips or peaks because of interaction. Correct and remeasure....
