I am no expert but you might try this to test it. If it has two conventional speaker wire terminals, hook them up to the terminals on one of the front speakers (without disconnecting the speaker wires from the tuner to the front speaker). If you get a booming bass you know that the speakers work and maybe it has something to do with you settings on the tuner. As for settings on the tuner, your Speaker Pattern must end with ".1"

Bill, I doubt anything "went wrong", but the Yamaha may not deal with potential impedance differences between your main speakers and your sub. Luckily, Yamaha allows you to set up levels for each set of speakers (front, center, back, sub) from within the setup menus. Using the remote, do the following: setup -&gt; speaker -&gt; level -&gt; scroll down to "sub" and raise the level (default is flat (0db)) until you like how it sounds. hope this helps, gfd

Just make sure you are plugged into a sub out port on your receiver i.e. bypassing the amplifier. Also swap the cable with any old cable to see if you hear anything. If that doesn't work you may have a dud sub-out port or a dud sub. If you do, I would recommend getting a replacement because I have had this sub for 6 months and it is fantastic for the price. Good luck!

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 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?

I have the same setup... mine go into protection mode immediately if the volume is above around the 25 setting. Thats about 65 decibels. Guess Im looking for a new receiver unless anyone has an idea.

Quick question... I already have a very nice Klipsch powered subwoofer. I should receive my RM6750 set today. Should I use the new subwoofer as Polk recommends, connecting it to the front channels, and then the front speakers to the Sub, and then connect my other subwoofer to the subwoofer port?If I do this, when I setup my surroundsound in my Sony receiver, should I set the front speakers to large isntead of small, even though they are small? I'm thinking small would strip the lower end frequencies out of the signal, but since I am connecting the subwoofer to the front channels in the receiver, I want to send the full signal, right?

When I first tried using my receiver's "subwoofer out" connection, the sub wouldn't turn on automatically. The reason, I determined, was that I didn't have the subwoofer selected in the receiver's menu. Once I made sure that the sub was, indeed, being fed a signal, it has been working flawlessly. I hope this helps.

Did you ever find an alternative to the BB2001? Funny, I just bought the im600 today, and it still had the slip in it for the BB2001. I would like to buy a subwoofer for it though, so let me know :) That goes for anybody reading this, too!

The documentation for this item is appalling. I do not use a subwoofer. The Technical Specs can be found at:-http://store.sony.com/5.2-ch.-4k-a-v-receiver-zid27-STRDH550/cat-27-catid-ESP-Home-Theather-ElectronicsWhere It states:-Amplifier/Receiver Amplifier Features*4 Ohm/8 Ohm Switching : Yes (6 ohm)*Sub Woofer X' Over : 17 points (40 - 200 Hz) and Inputs and Outputs Audio Outputs*Pre Out (Subwoofer) : 2I am sorry I cannot help you more.

Thing is that the subwoofer needs to be active , most (or all for what I know) receivers dont send energy thru coax just the signal of sound , like in my case , and did nothing , so i had yo put an amp in between the speaker and receiver

Use a splitter my receiver only has one pre out for my sub so when I placed the order I also got that as well. The splitter was a recommendation when I was looking at the sub and from what I was told when I was looking around it helps with the signal. This sub really hits nice and clean hope this answers the question

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

Probably worth buying a more advanced subwoofer.... Thought mine was but unfortunately my RCA connection to my subwoofer did not work so I tried connecting my subwoofer to my two front speakers. Don't know if that is the proper way but that thing is delivering a thumping bass

I believe it is down firing. I found that the subwoofer needs to be near the soundbar- I tried putting it behind my couch and it just sounded weird. I have it right below the TV and it sounds much better there.
