Not quite sure how to respond..... none of my rear speakers worked while watching TV...only exception was watching a couple of HD HBO stations... for some reason, it worked only with these

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?

Hello,Did you ever figure this out? I just bought this TV last night and I'm very happy with it, but I use a surround sound system and have to keep the TV volume on 0. There should be a way to turn the speakers off - right?Thanks for any info.

Yes. Return the whole set. It only gets worse. We had the system for a week and it happened and the one speaker quit working completely so we returned it. We bought a Sony set and have been really happy with it.

I'm not sure what's wrong as my speakers work just fine. The sound is lower than what is playing inside my house but I'm ok with that. I would double check the wiring and make sure that nothing is crossed. My neighbor had the same problem and found out that he crossed two of the wires and one wasn't fully in the socket. After he fixed it he had now problems.

I looked at the MM6501s for a long time before ordering. During that time, last fall, a number of sites listed Mobile Monitor-series speakers as out-of-stock or discontinued. Vendors that had them were sell them for half list-price. At one point, Polk's own website pulled info about some of them. All this indicated the speakers reached End-of-life and Polk was likely clearing product channel while discontinuing them.. or at least before releasing an updated version. I can't say for sure, but I believe you're looking at an updated SKU versus the previous version of the product. I'm not sure what's different. I'd hope the newer ones are better in some way. That said, the older version is pretty amazing. I put a lot of time into sound deadening the doors on my car prior to installing the speakers so hopefully i'm hearing them under the best install circumstances.. but the results are unmistakable. They're an amazing 6.5 component system. I was listening to Luscious Jackson, Fever in Fever out yesterday and the bass lines were deep and clear.. highs shimmered.. full mids. My system is only partially built out.. speakers with stock headunit.. no amp, no sub. The MMs don't move nearly as much air as a small sub but they to reach deep. I'm debating even building a sub cab next spring. I think I'll have plenty bass with a new head unit and an amp. I can't imagine Polk can provide a significant improvement over the previous version. Hope this helps.

Sorry, I'm a newbie at home theater stuffs, but why do we need a separate "subwoofer cable"? Won't the speaker wires work? I'm using a HTiB and they all use one type of speaker cables, even the subwoofer. I'm just curious as I'm about to get this system and have to learn how to set it up with a receiver. Thanks.

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 do not have that problem on my system. You do have to change the setting on the receiver with the remote to match the HDMI input you selected. If your doing that and your not getting sound and your speaker setting is correct then you might have a problem with the HDMI ports.

I tried to search for pictures of the speakers trying to see how they look from behind but i couldnt find any. If you want you can send me a picture of your speakers from the back and I'll compare them to the mounts/brackets and see if they will work. My email is fredward321@gmail.com

My right surround speaker went out also after a week. Brand new speaker. First thing I did was check to see if the speaker was bad. Turns out it was...not the receiver. I assume you checked the speaker?

Have you tried to call their technical support? They were really helpful when I called them. Also, you can always return it. I returned my first one since I had some issues with the sound and got a replacement and it is perfect. Check the HDMI Cable too. You may need to try another one in case it is bad.

Anyone try running the output through the Fx Loop Send, increasing gain and lowering the Volume(so the speaker isn't heard)?But if this works you'll loose the Power tube phase. I'm using Blackstar Ht Metal's Emulated Output for this purpose.

It is funny you ask, as I have that exact setup. I also have FH-65b as the rears. I also use two F-12s making it a 5.2 setup powered by a Pioneer VSX-1020k, on tile floor in living room. I am not an audiophile, but movies and music are crystal clear and I have never approached maximum volume. I have taken the Pioneer app on my phone, stood in my backyard, took it to about 75% max volume and could hear the music clearly outdoors, but I stopped since I do not want to piss of my neighbors. I have never taken it that loud indoors. Just for kicks I turned the subs' volume to max, began to ramp receiver volume and two of my six light bulb's filaments broke in the kitchen, so I stopped. All in good fun. It is funny you ask, as I have that exact setup. I also have FH-65b as the rears.
