Does anyone experience intermittant sound performance produced from the subwoofer? Sounds like it just goes dead then comes back on.. Is this norm

I had to make sure there was nothing sitting on top of the sub, or it would do the same thing. Seemed to block the signal I guess. After removing the wife's junk it works fine.

I find that all sound stops for about one second every twenty minutes or so.

I have had my unit for more than a year and have not experienced what you are reporting. I am not sure what the wireless range is reported to be on the unit but if I was having this problem I might try moving the subwoofer closer to the unit especially if you have the base in a cabinet.

The speakers will continue to produce sound with the subwoofer powered off. There is also an independent volume setting for the subwoofer. It can be adjusted to provide more or less bass output.

I have two of these and the auto on-off works fine. Obviously there is a threshold signal that has to be met to turn the unit on and off, so if the signal is very weak, it might not turn on when you want it to. I haven't had this problem, but I can see where some might. A suggestion to try if this is a problem: increase the gain for your subwoofer channel in your receiver, and adjust your gain down correspondingly on the back of the sub. Then it will be getting a stronger signal that might help to trigger the auto-on circuit more quickly.

I have mine connected to a Denon X-2000 and have no issues with bass. May be the source. Did you use Audyssey? I have a sub connected as well but the speakers alone have a very nice range (highs and lows). Breakin time always helps but you should hear the bass from dual 8's. Sorry I can't help further.

my sub is starting to get weak for some reason. do you guys know if i can hook up a powered sub to this receiver? im not sure if i can since the sub this came with connects via regular speaker wires (black and red)

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.

I just purchased it from Amazon a little over a week ago, and so far it's been working fine for me. The only thing I noticed was that the auto-calibration setup sort of makes the subwoofer too loud, but you can change that back down manually without too much hassle. Maybe because it's of the HDMI video/audio switching issues that some people have talked about in the reviews, but I myself haven't noticed that issue at all.

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

I also had an older Creature and I had a similar problem with the new one. I almost returned it before I finally got it to work. Everything seemed to be connected properly but there was no sound. The answer with mine was the connection of the power port on the subwoofer. It isn't as firm as it could be and because of that, it can be difficult to connect properly. And even after it it has been working, if the subwoofer is moved around a bit, the connection can be broken and the sound lost again. When you insert the plug into the port on the sub, try to wiggle it and see if that helps. If it doesn't, remove it, plug it in again and keep trying to move it around. Sooner or later, you should establish contact and get sound. At least, I did. Use of an electronic contact enhancer such as DeoxIt Gold G100L may be of help. This problem is due to a design flaw. If the connection was more solid, this should never occur. Unfortunately, it does. The speakers are so good that it's worth the effort to keep trying to establish a good connection. If you continue to get no results after a while, the problem may lie elsewhere and returning the speakers may be your only option. Please send in a review or comment to this reply and let us know if this has been of help.

I've had that problem myself but it seems sporadic. It can be frustrating . It almost seems it has a warm up period. After I play music for a while , it seems to stop doing this. I'm not the only one saying this . Some of the people who gave reviews on Amazon have this same problem . So it seems not to be a defect. If it is , there are quite a few defective speakers out there.

Do the lights show that the bar "thinks" it's off? (ie, it really does turn off). There are some wires connecting this to your audio source - if you disconnect them, does that cause any change? (also, as with any electronics, you might try unplugging, wait 20 seconds, then replug in). I can't think of a good reason for such a noise other than the unit dying, but these things might prove it.

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.

There is a level adjust knob on the back of the unit, have you turned the knob up as to not be on "0"? Confirmed the LFE input is properly seated and also that the subwoofer power supply is plugged into your wall outlet?

The previous answers are good. Page 32 of the manual gives a picture of the connections on the back of the receiver. I have a B&W; subwoofer connected without problems.Eric S

I have not had any issues with mine. Some folks reported issues with buzzing, but was related to the speaker not being tightened down correctly. Buzzing without your bass plugged in sounds like a ground loop problem. Have you tried powering it from a filtered source? (I use a Furman PL-8 which was already inmy guitar rack)

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
