Subwoofer not working for Stereo: Does anyone know how to force the subwoofer to work during CD playback in direct/auto mode??

I'm also having problems with the sub. It worked initially but now it doesn't. Nothing comes out. I've tried a different cable and different sub so I know its the receiver. Did you ever figure out what was wrong with yours?

Mine is working fine and guessing that you have a connection problem, the subwoofer is turned off, the receiver isn't putting the signal out or a bad subwoofer. Hope this helps! S.

Do you hear any sound or no sound at all from subwoofer? Check if accidentally you changed the mode to "Night Mode", in this mode there is very low sound from sub.

I have two of these and the auto on-off works fine. Obviously there is a threshold signal that has to be met to turn the unit on and off, so if the signal is very weak, it might not turn on when you want it to. I haven't had this problem, but I can see where some might. A suggestion to try if this is a problem: increase the gain for your subwoofer channel in your receiver, and adjust your gain down correspondingly on the back of the sub. Then it will be getting a stronger signal that might help to trigger the auto-on circuit more quickly.

Dear John--Perhaps I guessed wrong. If the sub-woofer hums when you touch the RCA plug on the end of the cable, it is indeed an amplified sub-woofer. I share your expectation that the sub-woofer should work when the RCA plug is plugged into the STR-DH800 subwoofer output. All I can think of is to double check the Speaker Pattern setting of the STR-DH800 as described on Pages 20 and 47 of the Operating Instructions--if the selection isn't X/X.1, the sub-woofer will not be enabled. Good luck!Bill

Thank You for the reply. yes I did mean DB the settings are 0 DB and -3Db I set it at -3db for now. I am till waiting for my sub to arrive. I got a Alpine SWR-T10 10" 1800W 4-Ohm Type-R Shallow-Mount Car Audio Subwoofer. I will take your advice thank You

First look at see if any wires are cut or sliced. Try using another USB device. If you don't know the installer personally, he'll just give you the run around. If it still doesn't work contact Autosound directly. Mine came dead out of the box. I had to return it, they replaced the motherboard on it. My USB port works, flashdrive, smartphone etc.

The subwoofer should always be on regardless of the surround mode, and the source material. However, it is possible turn the sub off and I think that setting applies to different sources. Check CH LEVEL on remote. If it's not there, you might have to hunt through the menus. Good luck with that.

Try this On your remote down toward the bottom find the "surround" button. Click over till your screen shows "Multi Channel Stereo" that is the setting I put it on for all speakers to work.

Possibly your disc player is outputting stereo. Maybe press "audio" button on remote repeatedly to cycle through output options. Or may have to reconfigure disc player. Maybe is down mixing everything. Have you tried a different disc player to see if you get a different result?

Does your amp have a dedicated RCA output jack for subwoofer? try this link: http://stereos.about.com/od/systemsetup/tp/Connecting-a-Subwoofer.htm

I had the same issue with my stereo port I chose. I just chose a different one (CD) and it worked great.

Buy a receiver and hook up external speakers to the receiver. Only way you will get a decent sound out of this unit. I have a similar problem and after much debate, I am planning to buy Sherwood RX-41 9 105WAat model to augument this stereo system. Good Luck.

I would read the directions that were set up with it. If you have experienced a recent power outage, sometimes the sync function between the Receiver and the unit has to be reestablished. Meaning that you may have lost setup settings. Also make sure no one has flipped settings on the front or back as that will cause a problem with the unit turning on. (word to the wise, when you fix it write down the configuration in the manual) additionally the cable that is plugged in the back of the sub....make sure it wasnt pulled out of the back of your receiver by mistake. If you have this hooked up as a "speaker" and not a sub, also make sure the connections are established. Is this hooked up to a Yamaha receiver? If so you may want to cycle through the on screen setup directions and use the auto setup mic that came with the unit. Every time I have issues, I use that tool and it always seems to fix the connection issues. I know with mine, if the PCM source is not working (digital) the unit wont sence the signal and turn on. If you have multiple source inputs (DVD CD and GAme Player) you may want to make sure that they are putting out the required digital signal or it wont jump start the sub. ....I know, when did setting up Stereo equipment become a full day tech project? I am missing the analog days myself

There is a level adjust knob on the back of the unit, have you turned the knob up as to not be on "0"? Confirmed the LFE input is properly seated and also that the subwoofer power supply is plugged into your wall outlet?

Did you connect your stereo to the FR and FL and not to SR and SL? This worked for me and I still got surround sound via my stereo amp.
