Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Faulty Cable?

Last night my daughter had friends over and demoed my system. She pulled out the tried and true Nemo DVD and went to the aquarium tapping scene. NO BASS from the EP500!?! I was called to the scene and my first thought was that she had changed something. Turns out she had not. I started checking things out. Worked my way down to checking the cable (Monoprice variety). I unplugged and replugged both ends - heard a brief murmer from the sub but no deal. Next was to try a different cable. The only thing I had was one of the old red, white and yellow cables that come with some equipment. I had to slide the sub over to the receiver, connected red to sub and....voila - bass. On impulse I plugged the monoprice cable back in and....voila, - bass. I reckon my question is.....What? Could it be a kink/short in the cable? Is there something potentially loose inside the sub? Are the Red Sox going to win another Series? Any ideas? I am going to check it back out when I get home tonight - I left the monoprice cable connected.......Rob

Also....I meant to post this in the Advice forum

The Red Sox might not even win the AL East.

I am thinking it is just the cable.

I hope it is just the cable. The sub is just coming up on its 3 month anniversary.

Argon, if it is the sub it would still be covered under warranty so no big deal (other then having to deal with the waiting for replacement parts if it was an amp or something)

First, let me say that the M60's are - as everyone already knows - great speakers and capable of generating some decent bass. SO....when it has been a while since I watched a blockbuster type movie that has lots of LFE - you get accustomed to the sound of regular TV and Music. When I had friends over this weekend with small childs - I put in Nemo and......No LFE! I had replaced the cable but no LFE?? So I uplugged and replugged at both the SWFR and RCVR. Still nothing. I turned the SWFR off and back on and voila....LFE. I think I had better give Axiom a call - unless I am missing something?.....

Oh man, I hope my bad bass mojo isn't spreading around this board!!!

Are you using Auto on for the sub?

If his sub is 3 months old he has no choice. The newer subs don't have any other options on them, they are all 'auto-on'.

I did read through your thread on my lunch break. It made me think.....I don't have any "pops" and I can get mine back on.
