That LCD is pretty useful.
The Left hand side of the LCD tells you the INPUT SIGNAL (2ch, 5.1ch, 7.1ch, DTS-HD MA, Dolby TrueHD, DD+, etc.).
The Right hand side tells you the OUTPUT SIGNAL (SW or no SW, 2ch, 5.1ch, 7.1ch).
On my 5308 & AVP-A1, if I set up as 2 subwoofers, 2 "SWs" will show up on the LCD. If I set up as 4 subwoofers, 4 "SWs" will show on the LCD.
So if the "SW" shows up on the right LCD, then the Denon is outputing the subwoofer signal.
If that does NOT work, try the HIGH-LEVEL INPUTS (wire connection). If this works, then either the RCA INPUT of the PL200 is not working or the SW OUTPUT of the Denon is not working.
