Troubleshooting

The HRS-SAT4BIP loudspeakers are

designed and built to provide years of trouble-free performance. Most prob-

lems that occur can usually be solved by

checking your setup, or by making sure all components are fully operational.

The following information will help you deal with common problems you may experience. If a problem persists, please contact your Dealer for assistance.

Poor or no sound

Check all the connections from the loudspeaker to the amplifier or receiver.

Swap loudspeakers around, and see if the poor sound follows a particular loudspeaker.

Check that your amplifier is not driven too hard or is clipping. Even a low- powered amplifier driven into clipping can cause distortion, or damage your loudspeakers.

Many processor/preamps can send test tones through all the loudspeakers in your system. Use this to adjust the volume of each channel until they are all playing at the same level. Make sure that any bass management options are set correctly, and any channels using the loudspeakers are set to "small," or "95 Hz."

If the system bass is weak only when playing surround sources, check that your processor is correctly set to decode the surround modes, such as Dolby Digital or DTS.

Some DVD discs have a menu that allows you to select which soundtrack to play. Check that the correct surround audio soundtrack is selected.
