Hi guys,
I was part of that city wide San Diego blackout with had last Thursday. My equipment seemed fine after the blackout (SP 1.7, 9B-SSET, 4B-ST, BDA-1). However, upon firing up a movie over the weekend, I noticed that my subwoofer was very weak compared to how it was prior.
I went through retracing my steps of reconfiguring because I thought the blackout wiped my settings:
1) Checked the XBASS- Yes, Fronts-Large
2) Checked the Bypass (Code 060)
3) Subwoofer level
Check, check, check. All settings looked normal and did not like they were lost due to the power outage.
I must be missing something but I can't figure out or remember what it is. I've toggled and retoggled every setting that has to due with the LFE channel and I cannot seem to fix the issue. The subwoofer output during "TEST" but a lot weaker than I remember. When I'm watching TV or popping in a movie, I have to turn it way up before the subwoofer automatically turn on (receive a signal). And even then, I am way over my normal volume level.
During my initial set up years ago, as I recall, it is currently acting as if XBASS is OFF even though it's toggled as ON. My room is rather large so I need the XBASS setting because without it, even max sub level is not enough =/
I looked a FACTORY reset code but noticed that there wasn't any for the SP1.7. I figured to try a factory reset and start from scratch if there was such a setting. I even put the subwoofer on another receiver just to check that it wasn't the problem and it checked out fine. Any assistance would be appreciated.
