Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Technical Questions Help with EP500 settings

When my mom was hooking up my speakers (yes my mom :-)) she said that on the back of my subwoofer there was a small cable unplugged. I couldn't see it for myself because it was, prior to today, in a spare bedroom packed full with all my home theater stuff. Is that normal?

Wheelz, the setting for the sub level control for a given loudness level can vary, depending on the amount of voltage that the receiver is set to send to the sub, so the settings that some others use might not be relevant to you. The sub level should preferably be auto-calibrated by a receiver or with the use of a separate sound level meter. Attempting to do it by ear often results in setting the sub too high, because of a desire to "hear" what a bunch of money was used for. Ideally the sub shouldn't be heard as a separate source; the impression should be that it isn't on, but the other speakers are putting out more bass.

The EP500 doesn't come with any sort of cable, so there shouldn't be one hanging loose.

The only cable that may have been hanging loose is the power cord. Maybe that's why you couldn't hear it .

You should also be able to set the levels as the OSD still shows up on the Denon's display as well as the TV only you just get to see what the cursor is pointing at and not the entire page.

Thanks guys. Made some adjustments as recommended and it sounds much better.
