Why is my Harman Kardon subwoofer not working?

Many Harman subs have an On/Off switch independent of the signal relay. If everything is connected properly and the receiver is sending the LFE signal to the sub, you may need service. If there is no light at all, you may have a blown internal fuse or other nonuser-serviceable issue related to the amplifier.

Does a subwoofer have a fuse?

Fuses for subwoofers can be located in-line with the subwoofer wires, within the speaker enclosure, and if there is an amp dedicated to the subwoofer, the fuse could be located there. In-line fuses can have different looks. You would either unscrew it or pull it apart to access the fuse.

What to do if there is no sound from the subwoofer?

Turn on the subwoofer. Ensure the subwoofer has not been muted. Increase the volume level on the subwoofer. Ensure the speaker settings on the stereo system or TV have been configured properly to use the subwoofer. IMPORTANT: Certain speaker settings may disable the subwoofer. Trying a different speaker setting may resolve the issue.

In this case, set the sound field setting to A.F.D. AUTO or a another sound field. Sony® receivers will send a simulated LFE signal to the subwoofer and the SW indicator will light up. Verify the subwoofer power cord is plugged into an active AC outlet and that the subwoofer is powered on.
