Thanks for the info. It "played normal" in that you could hear the music. But it wasn't loud at all, even with the amp volume maxed. Two people talking would talk over it. Did check the settings, my unit doesn't use numerical values. LFE can be set to "LFE" or "LFE+Main". I've tried both...

Ok. Dug thru my "cable box" and found one. Hooked up a cellphone directly to the sub and played music. Had to turn the sub volume knob to max but was able to hear the song, albeit very bassy, playing thru the sub. Question #1 - should I have had to max the volume to hear the music? Question...

Connect the phone directly to the AVR or directly to the sub? Someone earlier mentioned hooking something directly to the sub. I don't have any adapters to do that - sub is an RCA-type connector (mono).

This particular sub does not have an actual crossover adjustment knob. That "spec" was taken directly from the owner's manual for the Boston Acoustics 5.1 MCS-90 brochure.

No, there is no crossover on the sub. The sub has a volume know and that's it. No power switch, nothing but the volume knob. In the AVR itself, crossover freq is set to 150Hz by default. I have messed around with the crossover, changing it to all possible values, and nothing get the sub to...

Yes, it plugs directly into the wall, as in it does not need to first go through a pre. Also, steady green light on the back of the sub.

I don't know the particular model # of the sub. It was the sub that was included in the Boston Acoustics MCS-90 5.1 kit. The sub specs are frequency 40-180Hz and the AmpOut is 100 watts RMS. It is self-powered, no on-off switch, etc. Turning it up all the way has no affect.

Thanks for the replies so far. To clarify a bit more on my specific set-up and config: There are 3 devices hooked up directly to my AVR - Samsung SmartTV, PlayStation 3, and a 5-disc CD player (yea, I'm not sure why this is hooked up either anymore). The TV and PS3 are both hooked directly...

The volume knob is set right in the middle. There is a white line in the middle which is where the sub is supposed to be set for configuration thru the Audyssey auto-calibration.

Hi All, Hoping someone can help me with this. I have the Denon AVR-590 with Boston Acoustics 5.1 surround speakers and sub. Everything had worked fine. This past week we purchased a new TV (Samsung 46" Smart TV). Upon hooking up the new TV, the sub completely stopped working. There is no...
