Go into the OSD: 1. Go to the Speaker menu 2. There are some other optimization settings but 1st lets get the Subwoofer working. Post back once the Subwoofer is working. Thanks for the guidance. Are you in direct mode by any chance? Is that causing a problem? I don't know anything about your Pioneer unit specifically, but direct mode is considered a "pure" mode on most AVRs. The sub will not get a signal in that mode. I believe I tried this last night but I will switch to surround mode when I get home tonight and report back.
Thanks to everyone for the tips so far! Your avr manual should also confirm in what modes your subwoofer would be active I did finally get it to reset. You have to press the Standby button first, and then the Tone button even though it says Tone button first. It didn't reset the receiver settings though, I can still see the Treble settings I punched in.
Mains need to be set to small, sub to yes Or Mains set to large, sub to plus. That's the problem. Did You check receiver "Speaker System" settings? I mean which set up is chosen? Check that when You setting up all speakers should be connected and sub should be connected to Line output. Okay, I disconnected while running as you said, touched the end of the RCA plug and did hear the noise in the subwoofer.
Turned off the amp and sub, plugged back in and You must log in or register to reply here. Latest posts S. Newbies Latest: Perryque 59 minutes ago. Beginners and Audiophytes. In most cases, for a home theater, simple pictures of your receiver at the center, and each device around it with colored, labeled lines indicating the type, input and output, and further to your speakers is all you should need.
While you simply need to power every device in your home theater setup, thinking about how to protect your investment from power surges is also something to consider. All power delivery devices wear out over time. Some may wear out more slowly, but expect to have to replace this part of your system every couple of years to avoid problems. It can be extremely dangerous to connect one power delivery device to another, or 'daisy-chain' them.
Always plug these devices directly into a wall outlet, and not into another power delivery device. Most home theater equipment now has the ability to connect to your home network, and provide content from the Internet. From your Smart TV showing Netflix, to your game console that can play games with people across the world, to your Blu-ray player retrieving additional content for different movies, or even Internet radio stations on your receiver, it's a good idea to plan ahead for your Internet-enabled home theater system.
Most speakers will use very standard, simple 2-wire cables to connect them to your receiver. Your receiver is going to control all of this, now. Just use the port for HDMI 1. It is critical to perform this step before moving forward, as we will be cleaning up the cables behind, next.
After this, while it is entirely possible to make changes, it is a much greater hassle. You can use one, or multiple different methods to give the look, and accessibility you want to the wiring of your home theater system.
Cable bundling will most likely be the first step in cleaning up the cables from your home theater installation. Leave slack at your bundle points. Do not tighten down any strap too much, you want some give and movement in case something shifts, and you don't want to accidentally cut, bend, crimp, or otherwise damage your cables. Adhesive Pads Small, sticky pads to attach your bundles to. Some come built into various straps or ties, some are reusable, such as adhesive putty.
Do not bundle power cables with any other cables. Power, by its very nature, creates an electromagnetic field when flowing through a cable. This can severely degrade quality for other cables they are bundled with, especially speaker wire.
It's best to keep these as far away from other cables as possible, in their own bundle, for example. During your bundling process, it's often a good idea to use small labels near the ends of each cable, just in case you need to disconnect something in the future. You can use a label printer to make these, but a small strip of masking tape works just as well. For example, on your Blu-ray player's HDMI cable, a little loop of tape saying "Blu-ray" where it connects to your Blu-ray player, and where it connects to the receiver, can help you immensely should you replace the player, or the receiver, somewhere down the line.

Your Blu-Ray player is a source of video and audio from movies. Your cable box is a source of audio and video for television, and so on.
Output This is where the device creates signal to go to another device. Input This is where a device takes in the signal from another device.
For example, the HDMI ports on the back of your television are inputs. Tuner or Receiver This is the 'hub', or the central point where everything connects to. Your Tuner will take in inputs from various sources, and route them to various outputs.
For example, you connect your game console to your tuner, and your tuner plays the sound on your nice home speakers, and displays the video on your television. HDMI Common type of cable used to connect home theater equipment. Named after the Radio Corporation of America. Used mostly for audio, and older video equipment.
Optical Common type of cable and connection for home theater equipment. It is a fiber optic cable for audio. Coax Common type of cable to connect from your antenna, satellite dish, or cable provider to your decoder box.
Write down what you have To start, make a list of every device you have that you'd like connected to your home theater system. For each device, you'll want the following information: What the device is, its make and model, the type of connections it accepts, and the type of connections it makes. Draw a diagram While this, too, can seem silly at first, it is key to understanding how everything connects. This is an area where a little planning goes a very long way: How many devices will you be connecting?
If you have six total devices, a small four plug power strip will not suffice. Will you want to expand and add more devices later? Most people will end up adding to and expanding with more devices in the future. You'll want to have extra outlets available to accommodate your future needs. Do you want an easy way to turn on and off your whole setup? Some power delivery devices will have front-facing power switches, or readouts for how power delivery is happening.
What shape of plugs do you have? While most devices have moved away from the large, boxy AC to DC adapters that stick out of the wall or hang off the socket, they can still pose a problem.
Depending on the type of power delivery accessory you choose, these types of plugs might interfere with neighboring outlets. Some power delivery device manufacturers have taken this into account, and rotated the plugs to make it less of an issue. Different types of Power Protection There are 3 different types of power distribution and protection devices. Very low cost. Minimal, if any, protection. Most power surges are just passed through to your equipment which can damage or ultimately destroy them.
Some models have a small fuse in them which is destroyed when a particularly strong surge occurs. Average cost. Provides decent protection to your devices. Some of these types tend to offer some extra protection as well for cable lines or networking lines. Many come with simple warranties that protect against power surge damage should your devices incur any while connected to one of these.
Very high cost. Provides not only decent protection, but also 'conditions' the power, so there's little if any noise or power fluctuations introduced to your equipment. While subjective and very dependent on what is coming to your equipment in the first place, some people feel it can help with picture and sound quality. These tend to be aesthetically pleasing, and integrate well with modern home theater and surround sound setups.
