I hooked everything up as directed and am generally happy with the unit except that I no sound ever comes out of the sub-woofer. Thoughts?

Not sure about that and I don't want to seem condecending but you do know that the remote has a subwoofer control. Its on either side of the mute button and is labeled SW level, which means sub woofer level, I hooked mine up and had to find it myself, but after that no problem, it will also display on the sound bar the subwoofer level SW - or + 1-6 hope this helps. Oh make sure its hooked up right with the subwoofer hooked to the sound bar in its proper place.

Did you plug in the thin wire in the sub and sound bar? You can also adjust the bass via the controller. If you have done this and it still produces no bass I would suggest returning it

Rebecca, are you certain that you connected the stereo cable that it came with from the sub woofer to the sound bar?

Is the subwoofer working and correctly hooked up? If your still not getting sound try setting your main main speakers to small and the crossover to 80hz in the receiver speaker setup menu and subwoofer should say yes next to it. If your speakers are set to large subwoofer should say "plus" next to it on the menu.

My experience is the opposite... too much solid, rich bass, so I keep the volume knob located on the subwoofer control panel turned down to about 15%. Surprising for such an inexpensive system. Assure your connections, assure the subwoofer volume is tuned up, try a different audio cable between your sound source and subwoofer, try a different sound source. If none of these things work, consider returning them for replacement.

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.

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?

I had to "modify" the cable from the sub woofer output jack to slip on fittings on the speakers. It isn't a poweed sub but really sounds good. Can't remember if the speaker came with a cable but don't think so. Your stereo should have a cable for a sub. Hope this helps?

Everything matches up. All the speakers plug into the subwoofer then the lines from the sub go into your computer's 5.1 sound card. Remember its for a computer and is only accessible with the 5.1 sound card. Hope that helps

I bought a subwoofer cable and it only had one output while the subwoofer itself has two. The receiver has one input for the subwoofer. I've seen a lot of questions about this and it looks like the solution is a Y cable. You may also want to look at some speaker stands. You could make installation easier if you have the stands near your walls.

There is a line level subwoofer output but not a speaker level subwoofer output. I am using a powered subwoofer with RX-A830.

I could not get my powered Martin Logan sub-woofer to work with the sound bar, no sound whatsover. I was going to give it another try but have not had a chance yet.

Read the directions that come with the subwoofer . Should tell you all the ways to hook it up there

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 had the same problem, but if you push the output wire into the subwoofer hard and jiggle it a bit they should come on.

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

there are different ways to wire it, if your receiver has a sub-out plug on it just get a powered subwoofer cable and plug into either r or l on the woofer. Does not matter which one. hope this helps.

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.

Mine is set up with plenty of space on each side, but based on how it's constructed, I can't see that as an issue. The subwoofer is beneath the unit and the primary mid range speakers are in front. If anything, a more confined space may actually enhance the sound. Good luck
