First few things here...

Is the AVR (correctly) or the TV (incorrectly) the hub?

Using HDMI?

Subwoofer set to yes/on?(whatever the setting is)

Front speakers set "small"?

Are your sources set for DD or PCM 2.0?
What is DD or PCM 2.0? how do I check it? Thanks.

Cable/sat boxes, DVD/BD players and gaming systems, out of the box, are set 2.0 PCM. You have to turn on 5.1(or greater) output.

Each source has different setup, different terminology.

I use OTA. Some of the TV call 5.1 output DD. Some call it "RAW".

Is the subwoofer connected with an rca cable?


Is the subwoofer connected to the proper location on the back of the receiver.


Is the volume (gain) level on the subwoofer set somewhere in the middle?


Is the subwoofers volume setting in the receiver set to about zero?


Reset the subwoofer to "Plus" instead of "Yes".


Did you run MCACC? Did the receiver detect the subwoofers presence?


Make sure you receiver isn't set to Pure Direct when using an analog connection from the source to the receiver.
