three. Testing

Finally. Take a “test drive” with some favorite music or movies.

1.With the receiver/amplifier still turned off, confirm that its volume control is turned all the way down. Next, center the balance control. If the receiver/amplifier has an A/B speaker switch, set it to correspond to the speaker terminals connected to the SCS110 system.

2.Now, turn on your receiver/ amplifier and select a music source such as a CD player, cassette deck or FM tuner.

3.Turn up the volume control slowly until you hear sound from the speakers.

4.Rotate the balance control all the way to the left. Sound should come only from the left speaker. If the sound comes from the right speaker with the balance control to the left, the speaker wires have been reversed during hook-up. Turn the receiver/ amplifier “off” and switch both sets of speaker wires. Dolby Pro Logic*-equipped devices (AV Receivers, Surround Sound processors or decoders, TVs or other sources) include a “test tone” you can use to balance the

volume of all the speakers in a surround sound system. Refer to the instructions accompanying your compo- nent for selecting the test tone mode and using it to balance speaker levels in your home theater.

Troubleshooting

If there is no sound from any of the speakers, check the following:

Receiver/amplifier is on and a source is playing.

Review proper operation of your receiver/amplifier.

If there is no sound coming from one speaker, check the following:

Check the “Balance” control on your receiver/amplifier.

Check all wires and con- nections between receiver/ amplifier and speakers.

Make sure all wires are con- nected. Make sure none of the speaker wires are frayed, cut, or punctured.

If the system plays at low volumes but shuts off as volume is increased, check the following:

Check all wires and con- nections between receiver/ amplifier and speakers.

Make sure all wires are con- nected. Make sure none of the speaker wires are frayed, cut, or punctured.

If more than one pair of main speakers is being used, check the minimum impedance requirements of your receiver/ amplifier.

If there is low bass output, check the following:

Make sure the polarity (+ and –) of the left and right “Speaker Inputs” are connected properly.

If there is no sound from the surround speakers, check the following:

Check all wires and con- nections between receiver/ amplifier and speakers.

Make sure all wires are con- nected. Make sure none of the speaker wires are frayed, cut, or punctured.

Review proper operation of your receiver/amplifier and its surround sound features.
