Here is the answer that I got from Pioneer... it worked!Thank you for contacting Pioneer Electronics, Inc.Change the Subwoofer setting under SYSTEM SETTING>MANUAL SPEAKER SETTING>SPEAKER SET>FRONT SPEAKER TO LARGE, once the front speaker are set to large you can change the SW to PLUS, that will allow the subwoofer to be active with the stereo signal.

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.

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'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?

What you talking about Willis?The manual is BRILLIANTLY written!First it was written in English--then translated to Chinese--and then back to English again. Whats the problem??? :P

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?

I have a powered sub also and am using the LFE.btw...I did some experimenting with the Speaker Settings because i actually have small bookshelf speakers for my surround setup (Energy CB-10 frt and Polk r30 back). So I set the Speakers to Small for the front and back and the Sub defaulted to 'Normal' (I think that's what it said) and it sounds much better now. Hope this helps.

The Subwoofer out has to be enabled look at the manual. Also there's a test function to see if the subwoofer is connected correctly.

Must 765 use a subwoofer with built-in amplifier? I connected a Velodyne VA806 subwoofer to my 765and it won't deliver any sound.

I have no clue but i haven't tried that. Be sure to adjust your audio settings from the device (Pc, phone, tablet or laptop) first then adjust the subwoofer. It still sounds good for the price.

Dear AR... I assume you are replying to the other's guy's post. I have a single RCA input on my subwoofer (as well as the alternative four speaker wire posts) and a single subwoofer RCA output on my Sony Receiver. The receiver works and the subwoofer works with the speaker wire connections. The subwoofer has an on and off switch so it must be powered. The subwoofer hums when I touch my finger to the unplugged end of the cable. So why doesn't the RCA connection work when plugged into the receiver?? What am I missing?

Mine does the same thing and my sub doesn't work on Bluetooth. Not sure what the problem is I was thinking it was a manufacture problem.

The only things I could think of are your center channel is blown (you can check this by hooking it up to a different receiver), your center channel output on your receiver has some sort of issue (you can check this by hooking a different center speaker into your receiver). If neither of these are your problem then odds are it is a problem with your receivers settings. Turn on your receiver and play a DVD or blu ray, next push the "setup" button on your receiver remote, it should say "speaker setup", push the "right arrow" button and it should now say "Config", push the "right arrow" button again and you are now in the speaker configuration area. Push the "up arrow" until you are on "Center", make sure it is not set to "None", try setting it to "small". Push the "up arrow" again until you are at "Front" and try setting them to "small". You can continue pushing the "up arrow" to configure all your speakers, make sure Subwoofer says "None" if you do not have one as that can cause issues. Good luck getting your center speaker working.

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.

very common,my girlfriend and I both have Bose and both have major issues with cd playing ,with no help from Bose.The only thing I would suggest is to unplug and "reboot" system,however there is a major design flaw with the Bose cd player portion of the Wave radio.it is a 500 radio with a dimestore cd player.Funny thing is Bose refuses to acknowledge this widespread problem.

You have to go thru HDMI to get the surround on DVD audio, I listened to 1 DVD audio and it worked, but it took a long time to load each track and really, did not sound that great/NOW, forget that, this is the best CD player I have ever heard, SACDs are incredible, have both of the Allman Brothers that are in SACD. WHAT a great media, I wish there were more CDs in SACD, it sounds so much better than a CD. It did take me a real long time to understand how to work everything, but you know, there are audiophile reviewers that use this universal disc player for a reference player when they review 5000 dollar CD players.

No. As far as I know, subs are always a mono signal. There should only be one output from the receiver and input into the sub. This sub has a second RCA jack, but I believe it's an output, and I assume that is for chaining. I just have a regular stereo RCA cable and I'm only using one side for the connection.Hope that helps.Adam.

Hi,That did happen to me once.I think I had the subwoofer plugged in wrong.Take off all the wires and plug them all back in.Good luck!

Sorry, Mark, but I have not tried either. My perception is that you need an AMPLIFIED source of audio such as audio out from an amplifier or TV, but it's possible that your DVD player and/or Dish will have sufficient amplification to work fine. My recommendation is to call the manufacturer's support line and ask. The documentation is so good that I'll be surprised if they cannot give you a quick and authoritative answer--they really seem focused on keeping the user happy. I continue to be very, very pleased with my ZVOX 555. My wife and I love that we can actually hear and understand virtually 100% of the dialog from the satellite, local channels, and DVD, sooooo much better than playing it through our stereo amplifier/receiver. My only wish is for a little more bass. We're leaving in a few days for summer away from our home here in Florida, but when we return in the fall I plan to look into adding a subwoofer to the system to provide more bass. The ZVOX 555 has a subwoofer output and there are plenty of small subwoofers available, so I don't think getting a little more bass be an issue. Wish I had a more complete answer for you!

Jeffrey - I don't have that; where can I get it? I did a search on monoprice, but nothing relevant showed up. SocialLogic - I dunno what it's called but it's definitely not the coaxial input port (coaxial is the same used for subwoofer, I thought - and this receiver has two inputs, since it is 7.2)I've had it for about 10 days, and I'm still tweaking around with the settings. What audio mode do you guys generally use when playing Blu Ray? :)

I don't remember what the back of the unit looks like because the piece of garbage is in it's box up on one of the shelves. If it has 2 jacks on the back and you only have 1 plug on your subwoofer, you may have to find a cable splitter that has 1 input and 2 outputs. You can probably find one where ever electronics assessories are sold and it will not cost very much. If you do purchase another subwoofer, then 1 input will be for the left side and 1 input for the right. At least that's how it is on my Onkyo receiver I purchased to replace the Sony STRDH820 receiver that constantly broke down that Sony claimed nothing was wrong with and could not fix or replace. Good luck with your unit. I still "MAKE BELIEVE" that I did not get ripped off with mine.

Yes It does. But I just setup my PC last night and didn't plug it in. I've heard it's not that good. We'll see. Update: I used the subwoofer for a few days and it's not any good. In fact, I removed it and plugged back in my logitech 2.1 speaker system and the PC came alive.
