Denon 3808ci subwoofer info
Denon 3808ci subwooofer infor
I bought a 3808ci and for some reason I can't figure out how to get the sub working? my towers are carrying all the lows and the sub isn't even pushing air? if I use the speaker setup and set channel level I can here it but after I goto play something its dead? I tired lfe and lfe+main and its the same, although I have no idea what the difference is..
Nice AVR one of the ones I looked at before buying Marantz SR8002.
(page 5) Connect SW pre-put to a pwered Subwoofer using a RCA cable. Also see page 9.
(page 28) subwoofer mode, manual setup make sure
Subwoofer=Yes
(If front is set to small this is automatically set).
page 29 you can set crossover frequency ( any frequencies this number or lower will go to sub).
Only in "DSD direct" or "EXT IN" surround modes ( pages 75-76) will there be no subwoofer output. make sure the surround is not in either of these two modes.
The sub-woofer will also not work in 2-channel mode (page 9) unless you specfiy "LFE+Main" if you want signals to always be sent to the subwoofer. LFE (Low Frequency Effects) see page 31.
One last item, you have builit in equalizer, see page31, make sure that the 63, 125 and 250 frequency bands are not over attenuated ( low value) in the selectable (-20dB to +6dB) range.
If they are set around -20db and possible higher you will not hear any subwoofer sounds. If you used auto-setup and had you subwoofer turned up all the way you might get some low values here and will need to adjust them higher.
Good Luck!
