Why won't the pyle subwoofer turn on? (no power from electric outlet)

Although I bought the system, I have not used it as yet. Was waiting on purchasing a good amp.

There should be a switch on the back of the sub, that system sounds great when hooked up to do the digital 5.1 sound. Great budget package.

Sounds like it needs to be replaced. My subwoofer turned on just fine (little bit of a hum though).

While I dont know your configuration, I can tell you that I have two subwoofers plugged in the single S/W port on the back of mine (I have a Y-Cable to split the power cords) I have Definitive Technology (BP-8060ST) Speakers plugged in for your reference.

Most likely it is defective. You might try calling Pyle Audio and ask for technical support at 718-535-1800. If you bought it on Amazon, request a free return label from your seller to send it back for a new one. Hope that helps. This is a great product (when it works).

Make sure the input and output are correct. If it still doesn't work then it's the power source. Try a different outlet.

I want to know why I can't get the sub-woofer to work.It stays on stand-by mode.It works when I run the set-up mode,but after that it goes back into stand-by mode.What's wrong?

Try switching speaker wires.....if still not working,it is most likely the unit itself.

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.

Mine, too, made a loud pop every time I turned it on. However, it was working otherwise until it lost connection to the subwoofer and started making the clicking (or popping) noise every second or so. None of my ideas for addressing the problem worked except for returning the unit to Amazon, which I am doing.

I wish it had a switched outlet too. My subwoofers have the auto powerdown function, and have worked fine that way for years. If you are electrically proficient, you might be able to do something using the 12V Trigger output.

The previous answers are good. Page 32 of the manual gives a picture of the connections on the back of the receiver. I have a B&W; subwoofer connected without problems.Eric S

Everything turns on/off based on the setting (or "sound profile") you are using from the pre-set options. But ultimately, there is no manual off/on button for the sub-woofer, if that's what you mean.

That happened to me. I unplugged the sub plug and coaxial cable for half an hour. Plugged the sub into the outlet and then the coaxial plug into the reciever. I turned the reciever on and it was good. Make sure you check your settings that te subwoofer was on. (Onkyo states that sometimes the static from the cable and reciever can make it shut off) hope this helps.

I pulled from the accessory plug, blue wire. If you are using high-level inputs, the amp should turn on automatically if setup correctly.

Just plug the red and black wires into the back of the amp or receiver. Unless you don't have an extra slot for the sub. If that's the case I'm not sure how to help.

you most likely broke the cable connecting the subwoofer to the main box or you didn't connect the wires right

Yes the sub is connected with a single RCA jack and its powered so it needs to be pluged to an outlet let me say that I love bass and this is a very good sub I haven't even used it passed the half way mark because the bass output is very good
