Odds are that your woofer is blown. That or your outputs failed in the power stage of your sub. Pretty sure your receiver is fine.

SOURCE: no signal on subwoofer out in Onkyo TX-SR703(E) - similar to TX-SR803

Hey Tad, I have the same problem and perhaps a solution. I just moved to the other SW "pre-out" and it seems to be working..the green light is on . Whatever works i guess.

SOURCE: Subwoofer shutdown

I'm having the same issue as you guys: Sub rumbles in test mode, doesn't produce sound otherwise. Which makes me suspect it's the receiver itself -- the filter (or whatever it is) that should be separating the bass signal and sending it to the sub is not working. At least that's my guess.

Either way... this sucks.

SOURCE: No sound from Sub Pre-out on Onkyo TX-SR606

Also, it could possibly the preout terminal itself that is not working. One way to prove that is by transferring the subwoofer cable from the preout and temporarily transfer it to the tape out section. If it ouputs sound from there, then that means the speaker and the cables are working fine and it's just the preout terminal itself that is not picking up anything. ^_^

SOURCE: Subwoofer Connection Problem

why don't you both return these units and call Denon for replacements without these problems?  Sqeaky hinges get the oil.

Kenwood SW-32HT Subwoofer Dropping sound Yamaha Reciever

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.

I have atomic A-8 subwoofer and philips FR740 receiver. when i turn the amplifier and the subwoofer "on", the subwoofer starts to hum loudly and it is wery annoying. i made all the connections...

The symptom sounds like an open signal shield somewhere and the cable is acting like an antenna for airborne electrical noise.

Disconnect the RCA cable at the sub. Is it still humming? NO? Problem is external to it. YES? Internal. Broken ground somewhere.

Recheck all connections making sure to twist the RCA head as you install it so oxides will be worn off.

Consider what may have changed in the environment regarding electrical devices, motors, magnetic sources. Ensure signal and speaker wires as ar not running are as non-parallel to any power cords as practicable.

I am trying to connect my Eltax woofer to my Marantz M-CR502 CD Receiver. Have connected the single line "sub w out" socket on the Marantz to the "line input" on the Eltax unit but...

Sounds like this is a powered subwoofer (as it has a line input). If this is the case, the 'sub W' output of the receiver will NOT work, as it is only sending speaker level to the line input.

You will likely go from sub W directly into the speaker input on the sub. The output is probably used for looping an additional sub into the system.

How to switch on Sub?

surround and subwoofer may not work if there is an additional graphic equaliser operating.
1. check in your receiver speaker setting ensure your speaker setup doesn not have subwoofer set to NONE. this will block any signal to your subwoofer socket.
2 when you select your surround sound setting setup, ensure you select the speaker mode you want, if there is a multicontrol knob, cycle through the choices
select subwoofer mode and set it to yes.
if you have set-up small speakers S in your speaker settings then it could be that subwoofer is set to yes automatically if you have large speakers L, subwoofer has to be set additionally in the subwoofer setting.
3 test subwoofer on alternative device to test it is working ok
consult manual on enjoying surround sound and adjusting the speaker settings.

Subwoofer VERY weak

According to the KLH manual for the 9906 "6 pack" with the BassBite sub... it says "if your sub is connected via the speaker - level terminals, your reciever must be set for "NO" subwoofer - even though you are using one. VErify proper polarity on your speaker connection wires. (red or gold to +, black or silver to -). Depending on how you have your woofer connected to the reciever, if connected to a reciever without a subwoofer out then set your reciever for LARGE speakers and turn the subwoofer setting "OFF". Failure to do so will result in little to no bass. If you do have a subwoofer out from your reciever adjust your speaker size setting to small or large speakers as appropriate. Set the recievers sub output to ON. Connecting small speakers to a reciever set for LArge speakers can result in damage to small speakers.

Hope this helps.
