Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Technical Questions Just received an EP500.. worked for a few minutes!

nope... never got it working..

it powers up but not a sound comes out of it.. I even took some signal right off a cd player to see if I could get something.. checked inside to see if the fuses or speaker leads were loose...but couldnt spot anything out of the ordinary

anyhow.. axiom very quickly contacted me and are sending a replacement amp.

only bummer was I was looking forward to spending some time with it over the weekend..

Bug: don't know how handy you are "electrically," but you may need to replace the wall outlet. I've had the same thing happen here at my house, been here almost 25 years, and replacing the wall outlet was the "real" fix for two or three of the outlets.

Is there any chance we are mixing threads here ? The poster's power light is on, so presumably at least some power is getting to the sub...

The *other* EP500 thread seems to be a power problem for sure.

Sorry for the off-track comment, but, Rat, the plug that comes loose is the one at the EP500 end.

Axiom is always quick on the draw to take care of you.

I know I had accidentaly set the Trim setting to Remote and had no audio from the Sub. Although I think the LED on the back goes from green to yellow when you do this. I'm sure Axiom had you check this already if they are sending an amp. Just thought I'd mention.

Good luck.

Glad you have a "quick" fix.

Well, tonight was the night to get my HT back on line. I "dressed up" all the speaker wires to the receiver and hooked the receiver to the HDTV audio output. Took me about an hour to get everythig set up as I wanted, but it sure sounds good.

Now to get my new OPPO DVD player hooked up. That is a job for tomorrow night. I bought a Superbit version of The Fifth Element that I am saving for when I get everything "just" right. Some say that is one of the finest DVDs to check out a HDTV. Well, I want the 5.1 to go with it.
