With the exception of a 100Hz crossover, yes, I tested this. I also tested on the THX setting which automatically uses 80Hz. With a couple other people reporting a similar problem on that avsforum thread, and pioneer's quick phone response, it might be a known issue. Since I am only watching movies right now, I can direct connect my PS3 to the projector and use toslink to my Yamaha for sound. At least that way I will be able to use my RW-10d until the new receiver shows up.

I called up Pioneer. Without much fuss, they said it was a receiver problem. Getting a replacement (in a month). Still, I wish I had another sub to be sure.

Sorry djnick, I am having a difficult time following what you have been trying to say. Are you using an iphone or blackberry to post? I am joining a VSX-1019AH-K thread, http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?p=18122098#post18122098 , over at the avsforums to try and get help too. I set the crossover at 100Hz in the receiver settings. The RW-10d is set in "Lowpass OFF, LFE Mode". HDMI cables have nothing to do with this. The receiver is not sending anything to the sub, not even in the MCACC setup. I am starting to think it is a bad sub out on the receiver.

Increasing our post count, are we? I had set all speakers on SMALL with a crossover of 100 Hz (still nothing). The RW-10d has a response range of 28-120Hz, so I did not really want to go to a 150Hz crossover.

Model is 1019AH-K (first post). Yeah, I looked in the troubleshooting area already, but their suggestions did not help. Checked LFE attenuation setting, but that is fine. Switch main speaker type to SMALL to no effect. I found someone on the AVSforums with the same issue a few months ago, so I have tried contacting them.

Some good ideas here. I directly hooked the RW-10d into my Yamaha with PS3 for source (Bluray Wrath of Khan). Plenty of signal. Next I tested my in-wall wiring, and that worked too. So, it is not an issue with the sub or my wiring, thank goodness. So, it looks like I will need to play with the MCAAC settings a bit more. I will update this thread probably tonight.

I think I will hook it up by itself (still via RCA) to my Yamaha and play some deep moody music as a next test. I just opened it.

I was using the automatic (automagic) calibration. This set all my speakers as Large after full calibration. The problem is that the sub is not even being detected. The MCAAC automatic calibration sends test tones to each speaker to see if it is attached. All my non-LFE say YES, but my sub (SW) says NO. During the sub check, I put my head by the RW-10d, and I heard nothing. I *can* go into advanced settings and manually turn it to YES. Need to throw some content at it to see if this does any good. No extra sub outputs on media players. Friday I terminate my speaker wires with banana plugs, so swapping receivers will be easier, but my Yamaha does not have an auto-calibration. WIll need to stick my head to the sub. =)

Like I wrote, " I attached the sub to the receiver directly (another regular Monster RCA cable). Still nothing".

Background: I have a 7.0 set of Klipsch speakers attached to my new Pioneer 1019AH-K receiver. All of them are seen and are calibrated fine with Pioneer's MCAAC speaker calibration. I got a RW-10d and attached it last night through the receiver's "subwoofer pre-out" to the left line-in of the sub. The "attachment" was some in-wall wiring to the corner of the room via RG6 coax with an RCA termination at wall plate - then a Monster RCA cable to the sub. After turning on the power, I increased the volume on the sub to max, and I was able to hear louder thumps with each notch up in volume. MCAAC did not recognize that the sub was plugged in (ie, no sound during test). So, I switched to the right line-in. No dice. I attached the sub to the receiver directly (another regular Monster RCA cable). Still nothing. From what I have read online, the whole subwoofer specific cable thing is a bunch of bunk. And the RW-10d literature says that you can connect to the right and/or left line-in. Do I *need* to get a y-splitter and connect to both line-in? Am I missing something? My next step is to grab an older Yamaha receiver to see if that will work with the sub.

I had considered the RS-42s, but I wonder if they are a bit overpowered for rears in my room. Approximate measurements 12'W x 17'L x 10'H.

Not to resurrect too old of a thread, but ... I currently (well, for the past 10 years) have a pair of KSF 10.5 and a KSC-C1 center. I am looking to expand to 5.1/7.1. For surrounds I was thinking of either R-2650-W or R-3650-W in-wall speakers because the width of my room is small. However, I really don't know what to use as rears or a sub. The rear speakers would be bookshelf mounted, and I was thinking of RS-10 (but I don't really understand how an arced speaker should be oriented). Maybe a RW-10d for a sub. Thoughts and suggestions?
