The Subwoofer that will NOT turn off

[mike c]

what's your receiver?

what level is the subwoofer set at the receiver? usually it can be adjusted from -10 to +10db ... I think 0db and below should be the level to keep your subwoofer from being on all the time.

My receiver is a Harmon Kardon AVR145. Currently, the sub channel is set at +1, I will turn it down and see if that fixes the problem- thanks for the feedback!

Yes I can actually turn the reciever off by manually pushing the power button on the receiver. It's strange only because when I first got the sub, it would go on stanby after 10 minutes of no signal, but it hasn't been doing so for the past couple of weeks. In order to make the sub go on standby, I manually power the sub on then off again, very annoying since I like to use my sound system a good 3-5 times per day. The JBL sub10 actually has an 'auto' switch on the back of it that allows it to do the same thing- after 10 minutes of no signal, it goes on standby and fires back up when a signal is present. The sub12, the one I have, only has an on switch, but is supposed to do the same, according to the instruction manual.

See what happens to the sub when you do turn the receiver off. That may give you a clue. If it still doesn't turn off, or how it used to work, then you need to call JBL tech support, it may have an internal issue.

I turned the reciever off, and the sub is still on. I will give JBL tech support a call. Thanks for the feedback, highly appreciate it.
