I tried just about every setting and the subwoofer does not ever come on. The subwoofer is on, volume up, LFE (all settings) were checked. Help! :)

If connections are correct and the MCACC calibrations does not work per instructions. send it back. Amazon is pretty good about this....

go to setup -> manual Speaker Settings - if the front speaker is set as large change to small and try. This works for me, it was never mentioned in manual.

Sorry, but I was NOT happy with the Pioneer unit, and returned it for a Yamaha. My advice: Get a Yamaha! I have 2 now, and they work flawlessly.

I swapped out the speakers for more powerfull outdoor speakers. The sub woofer has to be connected, power goes thru it if i remember correctly. Hope this helps.

I plugged it into the left input of subwoofer and connect channel one (out put) of Pioneer VSX-824 5.2-Channel. When I do sound check the subwoofer respond perfectly fine but when I play pandora, airplay with iPhone or DVD, the subwoofer does not make any noise at all. What do I do?

Does the amp work and power your subs? Trace your wires and make sure everything is in the right place. Do not turn the knob to full on yet cause it can't break easy, put it halfway or under half. And turn your car over and see if it works? If not send me another question and ill look at mine specifically

Are you sure it isn't the subwoofer? It stays on all the time even when the system is turned off and produces a low level hum, constantly. That seems to be the norm for all the subs and the Onkyo receivers. I was surprised to walk into my media room and hear the hum coming from the sub and the system was turned off. Sub is always in stand by. Just a thought.

Never experienced the problem and we are still in love with our Polk sounder. Since the woofer is a BlueTooth device, you might want to go through the "Pairing" process again. BlueTooth is kind of voodoo and has been known to drop it's pairing of devices for no real reason. Thus, try pairing it again. If you mislaid instructions on this, i am sure that Polk Tech Support could help you or you could Google the question "how do I pair my subwoofer with my Polk Sound Bar?". See if that helps.

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.

Its odd that what Pioneer told you works.It doesn't correspond with what the manual says at all.Are you guys connecting the sub with the subwoofer pre-out (LFE--sub with an amp) or are you connecting an unpowered sub with regular speaker wires?I have a powered subwoofer on the way. I guess I'll see if I have to do the same.

I got my subwoofer (a BIC F12) and my sub works fine playing CD's in stereo or in 5.1. I have all my speakers set to SMALL and then the sub is set to YES. I tried setting the fronts to LARGE and the SUB to PLUS but that simply increased my bass slightly. It didn't turn anything on or off. Hapkido, not sure why it didn't work for you. I have played CD's on both the blu-ray player through HDMI and on my CD changer with the RCA outputs, and both ways I get sound from my subwoofer.Are you playing CD's on your BD player or is it a dedicated CD player?

Thanks! It worked for me also. Its odd that it worked initially then stopped but now at least I can hear my sub again.Thanks again for getting back to me.

Have you tried a subwoofer that works? It will not work if the signal being emitted is not decoded to send the signal to the subwoofer, like Dolby surround.

If the light is out, I would check to see if there is power getting to the sub-woofer. If you have a meter, check it with that. My money is on the power supply. Again, I'd check with Polk tech support after testing the power supply. If you don't have access to a meter, you can pick one up cheaply at Harbor Freight or perhaps you have a neighbor who is "handy". I hope that helps.

The music is very clear on the main stereo but the subwoofer doesnt work. I have contacted the seller (just now)

I have the same set, and the sub is under-powered compared to a lot of other speaker systems. However for me the bass is good with no problems, you might have received a damaged unit. The board and controls are "IN" the sub container, so they get hit by the air passing by. But I would contact Limitless Creations and see if they will replace it as a damaged unit.
