My Kenwood SW-32HT Subwoofer is dropping sound when connected to my Yamaha Reciever RXV363.It seems to go in to standby mode where i can hear an audible click to signfy that it's off. I am using a monster subwoofer cable, and i have replaced the cable with the same results. Any advice on what else i can try? I have tried adjusting the yamaha reciever settings to produce LFE in both speaker and subwoofer and only in subwoofer to no avail.
Several possible answers. First - is that the Yamaha has a fault that is sending a signal with too much power on it. And the sub detects this and switches off.
Second - either the Receiver or Sub is switching off when no audio is present. A setting problem?
Third - the sub has a fault, possible overload, and goes to standby for safety.

Try setting the speaker settings on the receiver to small.

I have the same setup. Are you going out of the subwoofer output of the reciever? (it's purple.) then into the LFE jack of the subwoofer (also purple.) That's the only connection you need besides power. If you have those right, try using your cable for something else to make sure the cable is good. Is the indicator of the subwoofer green? Mine comes on with the reciever. Good luck!

Does your reciever use a remote control?
If so, you should be aware that on many recievers and surround amplifiers some of the functions may only be accessible via the remote control (the best way to learn about it is to consult the user manual).
I have a Pioneer VSA-730 surround amplifier and the only way i can change the mix levels for surround/sub/center speakers is by a remote control. My friend had the same problem and, after reading the manual, he discovered that he actually needs to use the remote control to access all functions of the amplifier.
Good luck and best regards

there's no test tone under normal use for the sub. It only shoud test the three front and two rear. ther' are disc you can use to test all the speakers. ( If you are into Pink Folyd, the movie The Wall has what you need to help balance the speakers
