THanks for trying to help I just figured out the problem I am using a cal cl2500 dvd player. I did just put the system together. The problem was inthe way I hooked the units together I was using the upsampled 96k output onthe dvd player and that does not send a signal to the sub. I used the coax output for 44-48 k to the processor and it seems to work just fine. I guess these thing can be a little tricky to figure out how to set up. I always laugh to myself when I read posts like these, now I see just how frustrating set up can be.
