System issues		What to do
System doesn’t turn on	•	Make sure the Acoustimass® module power cord is inserted securely into the AC (mains) power outlet
		and into the power connector on the Acoustimass module.
	•	Be sure to press a source button (CD•DVD, CBL•SAT, etc.) on the 3•2•1® remote.
	•	Unplug the power cord for 60 seconds, then plug it in again. This allows the unit to reset itself after a

		module is turned on ( I ).

		to 115V, the system may not operate in a 230V region.

	the power supply in your location.
