I still think that something isn't right with my unit. I'll have to try contacting Outlaw on Monday. My brother owns the Sherwood iteration of this pre as well as the SVS PC ultras and he has told me that this has never happened to him. I stepped out for a half hour earlier on while The Aviator was playing on one of the cable channels. The volume was set to 23 and when I came back in the subs were off. This doesn't seem right to me.
