Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Epicenter subwoofer won

Due to delays on the reconstruction of our home following the fire last Feb, we've finally moved back in! Last night I hooked up the new system that was delivered in Sept.

1 VP150 Center
1 Pair Millennia M60 Towers
1 Pair QS8 Surrounds
1 Pair M2i Rears
1 EP500
Denon AVR-2807

For some reason, I can't get the Epicenter sub to kick in (I used the settings per the instructions - flat, bypass, 9:00 volume, etc). I used the microphone auto room set up and the sub was definitely being pinged on all six listening locations. But when I played the Return of the King DVD, a CD, the tv, etc., the sub just doesn't kick in at all even when cranked. I checked the calculations per the auto setup (distance, crossover, etc.) and they look reasonable.

Suggestions? I probably missed something obvious. I'm new to Denon (had Yamaha before) and must admit the documentation is poor. I know I'm missing something simple.

Thanks,
Tom

Do you have the sub plugged into the correct "line out" for the sub on the receiver?

Do you have the sub turned on in DTS or Dolby Digital (depending on what you're watching the movie in)?

do you have to switch the sub woofer everytime you have a DTS to Dolby movie??!?

No, you have to make sure your receiver is set to accept the sub or LFE in all modes.

Obvious question, but is the power line plugged in? Do you see a green light in the back?
