I just got my Kenwood HTB-505 system set up and can't get a tone or any sound from the powered sub.
Suggestions? It successfully powered up after the receiver was brought out of standby, so there must be some signal going to the unit.
Not sure how to isolate the problem as beign from the sub or vs. the receiver's output to the sub. I tried new wires, that didn't do it, and when I have the sub turned on and not plugged into the outputs, when I rub my finger on the connector I get noise from the sub in the form of a low-pitched humming sound.
Any thoughts? I really don't want to package the entire system up for one speaker ... so annoying.

Connect something else to it (Try the variable audio out of a TV or use a diskman). Slowly turn the subs level up. If you still hear nothing, you have a defective unit.
