Another newbie with Sub sleep mode issue. - 02/17/04 01:42 PM
I'm having issues with my EP175 not coming out of stand-by mode. Typically, in order to get the sub to play, I have to bump the volume up to a level higher than I want to listen. If I reduce the volume, the sub will continue to play for some period but will go back to sleep when the audio is at quiet scene or just dialog. This is all quite annoying, if the sub does wake agian, it's usually about 10 - 15 seconds after the audio has picked up. My typical listening blend is 70% AV and 30% music.
My receiver is a Denon AVR-3803, where my fronts are set to small with Sub and LFE. Over the past month or so I have varied the crossover setting from a max of 120Hz down to the min of 40Hz. I have also increased the sub level +3, +5 or more which helps the sub stay on longer but it will still return to sleep mode and not switch back on at the proper time. I have also calibrated the channel levels (5.1 config)including sub with an SPL meter. While varying all of the above on the receiver, I have also tried adjusting the crossover and volume on the sub.
The only way that I have found to keep the sub playing is to crank up the volume. There's got to be some other combintaion of sub/receiver configuration to improve my issue but I have been unable to find it. Is there a way to disable the standby mode? I'd gladly manually power the sub on/off to get the desired results.
Thanks,
john
