Perhaps for some users, the auto turn on circuit on the subwoofer is set too low? Might require an adjustment of the LFE level on the preamp or the gain on the sub? Just a guess. That could do it, I've run into that with my UMC-1/USP-1 combo, particularly with my Outlaw LFM-1 sub, and to a lesser extent with two smaller subs that take turns serving as the LFM=1's companion. It also pays to have "known reliable" test tracks for stereo...some CDs just don't have a lot in the lower frequencies, even some that you would think would be rife with kick drum and bass guitar riffs...  |

Have you checked your sub woofer to see if it has a "Trigger" input jack to turn on the sub's plate amp? Do you have a cable between the UMC-200's trigger to the sub's trigger? Have you checked to see if the trigger cable is defective? Have you enable the trigger to the sub in the UMC's set-up?

My sub has an auto on circuit that was working perfectly fine on my last A/V receiver. I've had nothing but problems with the UMC-200 in this regard so I switched over to the trigger method and its still doing the same thing. The UMC-200 powers it on and off with no problem, but in between songs it will stop sending the signal to the sub. I have to manually switch sound modes to something like NEO 6 for it to come back, then back to Stereo and it will stay...until there is a gap between songs or I hit pause. When the music comes back on, the sub output is gone.
What's frustrating is its not 100% repeatable. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I'm using an Apple TV 2 for music...don't really experience this on my other inputs, but then again the ATV2 is the only one I actually listen to music with.

Spectacle ; it would be good to know the voltage/amperage of the 200's trigger output 12v ? - its not listed in the manual . Ive noticed in the past some have less than others ;Ide check the voltage & current requirements of the subby to be switched On/Off  One example ; Just found the 200 has a max current draw not to exceed 100ma spec so that should be plenty ;not very likely its that .. |

As I said the UMC-200's trigger output turns the sub off and on just fine. The problem is the unit not sending the signal to the sub sporadically in 2 ch mode with my Apple TV 2.

I experienced the same issue today while listening in stereo mode. No signal to my sub. I was able to cycle throught the different modes and got to to start working.

I just received the UMC-200 and can't get the subwoofer to work.
I am using an Emotiva Ultra Sub 12. I tried to connect via both the balanced connection and the unbalanced, but no sound in either instance.
The subwoofer was working fine when connected to my prior setup - a Peachtree audio nova.
Any suggestions?

Does the subwoofer work when playing a BluRay?
Cheers

Interesting suggestion.
I played a Blu-Ray audio disc. When I first tried it using the analog (7.1 setup, though I only have a 2.1 setup), no sound out of the subwoofer.
However, when I played the same disc through HDMI, I get sound from the subwoofer.
So, I know the subwoofer if working, but how can I get it to work via the analog (non-HDMI) setting?

Maybe have a look at your 7.1 analogue out settings in the bluray player. Make sure the SW/LFE is turned on. For analogue signals the UMC-200 should be passing on whatever it is receiving, no sub out indicates that it may not be receiving any. Cheers Gary |

I can confirm that this issue has been 100% fixed for me in the new firmware!

I can confirm that this issue has been 100% fixed for me in the new firmware! That is interesting. Is your "Enhanced Bass" on or off? Front speakers large or small? With my fronts set as large, I only get subwoofer activity on 2 channel material when Enhanced Bass is on. |

change your Front L/R from Large to Small/80Hz so that the bass goes to the sub instead.

Might want to hop into your Delorean and then give him the advice.
