I can keep the gain at about 1/4 volume and it does alright, but this defeats the purpose of the subwoofer. I want to be able to crank it up. I also have 2 Klipsch F-20 Synergy tower speakers hooked up, with a couple of small Sony speakers for the center channel and surround sound.
This is receiver thermal going in protect issue and has no bearing to your sub, The sub has its own power amp and not supplied by the receiver. Thermal module may be bad. See a tech.

Very common problem with today's receivers. Receivers made today don't have a true preamp section in the amplifier and do not amplify the sound to the extent of an older receiver. I have large 15" front speakers on my system, and have stuck with my 15 year old receiver just because I know that a new receiver will not have the power to drive them well. Many of the newer receivers need to be turned up to 50-60% before you can even hear anything from the speakers.
Testimonial: "Thank you for answering Steve. When I manually ajust the output levels to zero dB, the receiver actually reaches the same output power as the old sony receiver, also with low volume-button turn. But I was wondering, why does the receiver decreases the channel power so much."

If it's under warranty..get a new one.
It's an internal breakdown ...tech service only.

Make sure that the sound field/programme you have selected is dolby digital not stereo.(On the amp)
You also need to check on the display that is says DIGITAL not ANOLOUGE, as only a digital input, Optical fibre cable, HDMI, COAX will be a digital signal.
If you are using red and white rca connectors, it is not going to work, as this is an Anolouge signal.

I had the same problem. Dont know why the receiver set it up this way but grab your remote, go down to the lower right and select ch setup. Keep on pressing it till your receiver says SW. Then press lev+ on your remote to change the db on your powered sub.
