Ah, so the stand-by bug strikes again. I had a whole thread trying to figure it out, with not much luck. As JohnK mentioned, crank the sub trim up on the receiver (I went as high as it could go) and calibrate the level using the volume on the sub. If need be, drop all your other speakers a few db's to create a larger difference in volume so that even more voltage gets sent to the sub for the same overall SPL output(as long as you can still turn the volume high enough for sufficient SPL). For me, I had the mains at -3 and the sub at +10, which 'usually' kept the sub on at decent levels. This was the best I could do to keep it on. My final solution was to upgrade to an EP500, but that's a hefty inventment to consider.
