Hi there!

I have recently acquired a Yamaha Surround Sound RX-V571 system, and the subwoofer will not 'connect'/play sound through it.

When I turn it on and up, I can hear the static when I touch the cable tip and buzzing in the actual subwoofer. When I plug it into the appropriate slot, nothing happens. All of the other speakers work, so I am at a loss with my limited knowledge.

If anyone could be of assistance, thank you in advance.

Sounds like you bought a used system. Best to do a factory reset and start over. You should have also gotten a calibration microphone with the receiver.

Do you have access to the owners manual? If not, you can download it here.
