Ok this is how the problem was solved for my situation:

See Pg.39 of your manual

-------------------------------------------------------

Setting the rear output and

subwoofer controller

This unit’s rear output (rear speaker leads output

and RCA rear output) can be used for fullrange

speaker (FULL) or subwoofer (S.W) connection.

If you switch the rear output setting

to S.W, you can connect a rear speaker lead

directly to a subwoofer without using an auxiliary

amp.

Initially, the unit is set for rear full-range speaker

connection (FULL). When rear output is

connected to full range speakers (when FULL

is selected), you can connect other full range

speakers (REAR) or a subwoofer (S.W) to the

RCA rear output.

! When the multi-channel processor (e.g.,

DEQ-P8000) is connected to this unit, you

cannot operate this function.

1 Touch REAR SP on the initial menu.

2 Touch < or > next to REAR SP to switch

the rear output setting.

Touch < to select full-range speaker and FULL

appears in the display. Touch > to select subwoofer

and S.W appears in the display.

# When no subwoofer is connected to the rear

output, select FULL (full-range speaker).

# When a subwoofer is connected to the rear

output, select S.W (subwoofer).

# When the rear output setting is S.W, you cannot

operate the following procedure.

3 Touch < or > next to PREOUT to switch

the subwoofer output or rear output.

Touching < or > will switch between S.W and

REAR and that status will be displayed.

Basically the setup for the Rear needs to be Full and not as 'S.W.'

Give it a try, it solved my problem. After this, you shouldn't be able to control your 'Bass' except through 'Bass Control'

Have you tried clicking the DVD screen so you get a menu, then select top menu? It almost needs a refresh of whats going on before you can see the video.

Hey Bling,

I have the exact same problem. Mine is wired through a Metra harness to retain the factory amp in a 2002 Lexus IS300. Were you able to find a resolution to this? Does anyone here have experience with this same problem?

Thanks.
