Does the Sub-Woofer selection simply low cuts the stated frequency, or is there some other magic to this ? Thanks.

This setting engages a high pass filter to the ZLX so if you are using them with subwoofers the system performs as a 3 way system.

my understanding is the internal processor acts as any other crossover would enabling you to tie in a separate sub

The description says "Optimized for use with subwoofers" I'm guessing it's not high fidelity. My sub sounds fine hooked up to it, but if I was going to hook up some regular powered speakers, I'd buy something that's advertised for that purpose.

I've never had a problem with mid-range sound cutting out. That said, it strikes me that if some range is going to cut out, it's more likely to be high or low end. So, it seems to me that the problem may be in your speakers rather than the receiver.

What's the frequency response of the mains? You will likely see the need to adjust the sub's high end slightly above the low end of the mains, using a cable into the l/r input jacks. Or you could use the crossovers in the receiver, set the speakers to small, crossover wherever you think the low end drops off on the mains... usually 10 hz above the listed specs. Then connect the sub the the lfe input, that bypasses the crossover in the sub.

I am not sure. You could turn down the base to reduce the subwoofer effect.

Hi Dale, Hummm.... I don't know what to say. Ours does go up to 10. That's where we usually run it too. I really sounds great. The sub woofer does need it's own power outlet however but is wireless from the bar. Can I suggest unplugging everything and reconnecting it. Be sure the battery in the remote is strong. We did have to replace it nearly right away because it had become too weak. The new one took care of the problem right away. I hope this helps Dale. It is a good machine here.

Have you adjusted the gain? It also depends on the cables and speakers used. More power drawn from the speakers could result in less power per speaker.

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.

I have had my unit for more than a year and have not experienced what you are reporting. I am not sure what the wireless range is reported to be on the unit but if I was having this problem I might try moving the subwoofer closer to the unit especially if you have the base in a cabinet.

Even though your mains go down to 48 hz, the general consensus of audiophiles is to set your cross over around 125 hz. This allows your mains to focus on the higher hz, making them more efficient (it takes much more power for low hz) and allowing the sub to do what it does best.YMMV

not an audio expert but my installer explained to me that the closer it is to the speaker the better. If it were to be further away the line could pick up or in some ways change the frequencies that are flowing to the speakers, thus making the crossover pointless. basically the closer it is to the speaker the more pure the correct freq range will be... this is just what i remember from a few months ago, i could be in left field with this

It could be the settings in your receiver. If it's for a surround sound system there's a setting in most receivers that requires you to turn the subwoofer setting to "ON" in the Setup or Settings menu... I hope that works!

Low bass is non-directional. You don't feed subwoofers a stereo-separated signal as you do the other speakers. One will do.

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

I just bought one and it does have a sub-woofer out, but my old sub-woofer (unpowered) does not work, i am trying to find out if i need a powered one. Does anyone know?

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.

Sorry but am not using a subwoofer. You may want to call sony support. they are very helpful.
