Polk dsw pro 600 is not getting signal from receiver and does not turn on automatically like it is supposed to.. I use single Monster subwoofer cable from subwoofer to LFE on (Pioneer) receiver. A Polk PSW 450 subwoofer was hooked up before but it too, started occasionally losing signal.
I assumed subwoofer was bad and bought new (DSW PRO 600). Now I'm not so sure what exactly the problem is..
What is most likely to be the problem and how can I check it?
1. The Monster Subwoofer cable has worn out?
2. The receiver has a problem (it is an 8 year old rec)?
3. The new (DSW pro 600) is defective?
Your thoughts and ideas on the topic is welcome.
Regards,
You don't name the electronics, which can be the source of the problem. See #3.
1. If you suspect the cable why don't you just swap in another RCA cable? BTW: there's no such thing as a "subwoofer" cable. Monster makes their money on those beliefs. Cables don't wear out but they can go bad if one or more conductors fails. Oxides devolp at either end which can inhibit conductivity. Remove each end and reinsert it with a twisting motion.
2. Maybe. You need to ensure the sub is defined. Run speaker level check. If no sound at the sub, prove the LFE/sub channel has output by running the RCA cable to a recorder or your TV (low volume). If there's no signal, duh, no speaker will work with it.
3. Mmm, not if it's exhibiting the same problem as the old one and the Polk 450. Have you looked at the setting of the Standby/Auto/On Switch? And the Power Mode LED's? Red is bad.

It describes a way to possibly fix your remote or at least prove it works or doesn't.
Find new or replacement remotes:

or eBay: search for "(model) remotes", check the 'include description' box. Usually cheaper than the vendors.

My power does not come on on a the fairly new subwoofer. Internet sites indicate I need to change the fuse but I can not find where the fuse is.
