We JUST got our home system and everything works great, tapes play all the speakers and the bass, and even DVD's play to the subwoofer, but for some reason when I play CD's through the DVD player there is NO BASE AT ALL.
I use the optical/digital output to my receiver, same brand everything, whats the problem, please help

I'm not sure; but for someone to help you on this bass management problem you're going to have to list the brand and model of your receiver. How you have your sub connected to the receiver would be useful also.

Perhaps the speakers are set to 'large' and the subwoofer is only playing LFE info(the .1 in 5.1)...
This could be a big problem for sub/sat systems....
Make sure speakers are set to small(unless they each have built-in powered subwoofers in them) so that the bass from the mains (below the crossover frequency(usually around 80 or 90 hz)) will go to the sub along with the LFE for movies..
If those aren't problems/solutions that work for you then we'll need further information about receiver settings...

A search of this forum might turn up some other threads from people with similar problems. The solutions I think that were agreed upon were:
Your front speakers are set to "large." Make sure it is "small."
Your receiver has a separate sub setting that turns it on/off for music, etc. (Or, maybe each input on the receiver has a subwoofer on/off setting.)
The crossover on your sub is set so low that it will only play LFE. Set it above 100 to get more of the bass.
