To the Axiom community,

Since new, when playing music on my system, my EP175 won't come out of sleep mode unless, while powered, I unplug & plug back in the RCA connector. Another way to wake it up is setting the volume of my receiver too high and then bring it down to a comfortable level, however after a short period the sub goes back to sleep mode.

I am using a fairly decent AR pro cable, the output level of the sub in the receiver is set to 0db and the volume in the sub itself is set to the middle. I have tried playing with these levels and have seen no changes.

I explained this to Joe Vasallo, he kindly agreed to repair the sub amplifier. I sent it over and just received it back after two weeks of anxiety. Just after reconnecting... an unpleasant surprise... the problem is still there... I couldn't believe it! The one new thing that I just found out is that if I knock gently on the sub amplifier, the sub sometimes comes out of sleep mode randomly and then goes back to sleep again.

Any guidance would be highly appreciated.

Thanks much,
Guillermo Schwarz
