Hi All
My wife and I decided when we bought the house that we would only have a 2channel setup in the main living room and make the basement the home theater once we had enough money to split them up. This past week, I bought a Cambridge Audio Topaz AM10 integrated amp :razz: (review coming soon) and moved the Denon 3808 AVR to the basement with the subwoofer. Upon hooking it all up, the subwoofer did not turn on.
I called Polk Customer Service (and what great service they are). Eric (I think) walked me through a few things to make sure I explored all possibilities; and then recommended I take the back off and ship the electronics to CA. Disappointed I turned the basement lights off and went upstairs planning to start deconstruction and packaging in the morning.
The next morning the little blue indicator light was on! I look on the back and the green LED is lit!
I turn on the AVR and some nice low end sounds are emitted..........and then I realize.....it is still plugged directly into the wall as I had tried several different outlets diagnosing yesterdays problem. Do I unplug it so it is in the power conditioner as planned? I figure I can't go through life scared to unplug my Sub......so I make the move and it takes a second - but the sub comes back on.
All is good, but I am curious.......
Has anyone else ever experienced this?
Would you send it back for diagnosis anyway?
Thanks
Ray

Maybe the power conditioner handle handle the current load from the sub... I know my Monster 7000 conditioner cannot handle a load greater than 500 watts without it blowing fuses...
