I just bought a marantz sr7500 and am having a little trouble configuring it. I cant seem to get teh sub to work. I have it hooked up to teh pre out sub, however, there is little to no volume coming out of it. Is there a setting im missing? |

Running through the receiver setup procedures probably wouldnt hurt. |

It sounds ok in the speakers test. The sub isnt near as loud as the speakers, however, it is there. Ive tried this with a opticle input and a analog inpyt from my drv, and a coax and a rca. They all have the same problem. |

The sub would not be as loud as loud, it should be almost felt more than heard. So that rules out the receiver. What kind of sub is it? what is your crossover setting in the receiver? on the sub? |

"The sub would not be as loud as loud, "
I meant the sub would not test as loud as the speakers. |

More info please...
what sub is it?
Does it have low level input...LFE/Sub/in, passive, active...etc.? Can you adjust the gain of the sub itself? |

Well, it didnt rule out the reciever at all. When I play a song on my sony reciever with my sub (paradigm pw-2100) it is very nice, when I play it on the marantz, the sub is very quite. Yes, I am using the lfe, in, I can turn up the gain on the sub. But, why the hell wouuld I crank my sub when I didnt half to befor! Now, I did discover something, when I put the music on in stereo mode (analog or digital) the sub is perfect. When I use anything else, like a dolby setting, or a dts setting, the sub is almost completly off. |

Have you set the sub to "on" in the Marantz speaker set-up menu. Be sure the sub and "LFE" is set to "on" for DD and DTS and Auto in the set-up menu. |

I have set the sub to on in the speaker setup, however, in dd and dts menu, the area where I can adjust the lfe level is replaced with ***. |

1. Read your manual. 99% odds say you've missed something basic, and your manual will tell you how to fix it.
2. Take your receiver to the dealer, and ask them to hook the darn thing up. They'll go through the necessary setup procedures and you'll see what you've missed. If the receiver is at fault, at least then you'll know. If not, at least they'll show you how to hook it up correctly. |

basically i played CD using auto mode on my SR7500 the sub woofer is no problem. yes indeed when switch to dts or prologic II. the sub not push very hard compare with auto mode. i also don't know about this. but i not really care about this cos my CD is encode with stereo. so play 2.1 sound system is damn good already. but when i played DVD with dts or dobly digital plus the THX the sub is running hard. not bad the punch is good.... |
