I turned up the volume and plugged it into my bass, but the power light won't turn on and it isn't responsive at all. Any suggestions?

Is the battery dead? I had one of these amps suddenly stop working for me after about a year of use, I think the wiring goes goes out eventually. You may want to try returning it.

The 9v battery that comes with it is in the compartment, but is sealed in plastic and not connected (they wouldn't be able to safely ship or store it otherwise). If that's not the problem, try another battery or it might just be dead.

DO NOT USE THIS AMP WITH A BASS! It will blow out the speaker. when you turn on the amp and turn the volume all the way up and start playing, the light dims and sometimes goes out completely. Hope this helped :)

I have not had any issues with mine. Some folks reported issues with buzzing, but was related to the speaker not being tightened down correctly. Buzzing without your bass plugged in sounds like a ground loop problem. Have you tried powering it from a filtered source? (I use a Furman PL-8 which was already inmy guitar rack)

when i first turned mine on the sub wasnt even working , had to move the control knob for the bass level left and right, and literally push on it hard to get it to come on , have not had any problems since..

Mine stopped working too and it made a loud buzzing noise... it should turn on after the power is turned on, I fixed mine by just bopping the side and it worked!

The problem I had was not lack of sound, but it won't turn on when I plug it in. There must be a short in the electrical wiring on my unit. I did have sound when I began using it -- nothing great, no Bose equipment. I'm sorry, but I think this is junk. I don't know what to do with it. I will find a place that recycles electrical appliances and give it to them. Alison

Is it plugged in when you boot it up? I believe you can also reset it by hitting the power button and volume + at the same time and hold for at least 10 seconds. If that does not work... send it back.

Make Sure Your Mike Is Not On And To Close The Speakers. Plus Check The Cables Make Sure they're Properly Connected. Or Check Your Bass Maybe It's To High

Mine also says it is 165W, but the bass is massive. I've got the dial on the back only turned up about 25%. Maybe you got a bad connector cord? Did you use the calibration microphone? Good luck!

Are you sure that you've installed the unit correctly? Inputs connected to inputs, and outputs connected to outputs? Additionally, have you verified that the impedance switches are set correctly? Lastly, have you removed the volume control, bridges the speaker wires, to eliminate a fault in the cables or speakers? If you've tried all this, and still experience trouble, I'd say it's possible that you may have a faulty unit..

There's really 4 possible problem I can think of. 1) The clothe that is use to cover the box is not tight or not put on properly. 2) you have your speaker wire inside the box too long. What I did, I twist the wires together until it was nice and tight then I hook it to the terminal. 3) The terminal cap itself is loose, to check this just hold the terminal firm with one hand from the inside of the box, with your other hand reach around and try to wiggle it. IF it wiggle then its loose. If this is the case, a quick fix is just pop off the terminal cap and paste a small amount of silicone around the terminal and pop it back in. 4) lastly, check if there's any crack inside the box. This will let air out when you have your bass on and it will make the clothe around the box flap around..........Well hope that help..

Yes same thing happened to me. I ended up returning my unit. I went to the audio store to see if it happened to other units and it did. I would turn up the volume and the sound would cut out and not come back on unless I power cycled my head unit.

I never hooked up sound, so I can't speak to that aspect of the device. I think that this is a very old model, it's probably been sitting in the warehouse for a long time. I returned this model immediately after receiving it. It wouldn't power up, when it finally did the screen was obviously damaged - googling suggested the damage was from being too hot. Sorry, that's all I've got. It would be helpful to know what source you have it hooked up to and how you've plugged it in.

It could be your input cable from your music source. Try a different cable first before declaring the unit defective.

Check your power receptacle wall outlet. If voltage is OK, inspect your item power cable for damage. If your item power cable is not damaged, return your item and request a new item. I hope that this helps you. If not, here is the PYLE company web link to the item: http://www.pyleaudio.com/products/Home-and-Office/Turntables---Phonographs

Had the same problem... so things to do:- Check to make sure you have power- make sure it is well connected to the Onkyo amp- check on the speaker configuration and sound mode.In my case I had to update the configuration so that it recognizes the sub is enabled. Took a few minutes to go though the menus...

I had same problem. I found that moving the plug slightly up, down or left, right, it would start working momentarily. The connector is probably not fastened well to the circuit board. I returned mine and bought a different type. (thanks Amazon). This one works great and sounds better.

I'm also having problems with the sub. It worked initially but now it doesn't. Nothing comes out. I've tried a different cable and different sub so I know its the receiver. Did you ever figure out what was wrong with yours?
