pioneer reciever sub output problem. - Blu-ray Forum

xXInsaneDylanXx · 03-20-2009, 04:28 PM

I have a Pioneer 192 khz 24bit reciever model number (if needed) vsx-516 and idk why but the sub bass is sooo low. i went through the audio setup and turned it up and still very low! the speakers are fine and when i bypass and direct connect my sub out from my pc to my sub then i have amazing bass. It used to be fine. Any thoughts?

its obviously not the sub. Im not familiar with pioneer's speaker calibration, so i would just say play with the settings and see what works. but im sure some of these pioneer fanboys on here can lend a hand.

maybe u have your crossover setting to low, try setting all your speakers to small and setting the crossover at 80hz, see if that helps

Well it must be my computer cause if i turn my reciever to fm radio there is base-not like when i direct connect with my pc though. I have it turned upto max and its decent. but when i direct connect i have to have it SUPER low other whys its to much....but idk i tried playing a movie and still very little. I messed with all the settings....had the xover at 100 and turned it upto 150 and its better but still....

do you have all your speakers set to small? Also are you using your computer as your player, if so how is it connected to the receiver

All set to small. pc has a 5 output sound card so i have it set up dvd-5.1 so everything is set individually. im playing my ps3 and i have bass now. not like when i have in direct connected but plenty.

xXInsaneDylanXx · 03-20-2009, 08:22 PM
