If you have cable connected up to the receiver, try disconnecting it.
BTW, not sure you are aware but you can trade that old sub in for a new one. I'd bet even the least expensive Axiom sub (EP125) is better than that one. I have two EP125s and like them very much. I also have four EP500s, two EP600s and an 800. I really like them all!
