Troubleshooting

Problem

What to do

System does not function at all • Make sure the power connector is plugged securely into the music center, the power cord is plugged securely into the Acoustimass® module, the power pack and power cord are plugged into operating AC wall outlets, and the module power switch is on.

Be sure to select a source (CD, AM/FM, etc.).

Unplug the music center power pack for a minute, then reconnect it. This allows the unit to reset itself after a power surge or power interruption.

No sound

• Turn the music center off for ten seconds, then on again, to re-establish communication

 

 

 

between the music center and the speakers.

 

 

 

• Check the connections for any external components. Make sure to select the

 

 

 

correct source for the desired input.

 

 

 

• Check the speaker connections.

 

 

 

• Be sure the CD is placed correctly, label-side up, in the music center, and the cover is

 

 

 

closed.

 

 

 

• Increase the volume.

 

 

 

• Check to see if MUTE is lit in the display. Press MUTE on the remote to unmute the sound.

 

 

 

• Disconnect any headphones.

 

 

 

• Connect the FM and AM antennas.

 

 

 

 

 

Volume at maximum level

• For Lifestyle® DVD systems, check Zone 2 Protocol in the System Settings menu. This

 

and cannot be adjusted

must be set to Normal.

 

 

 

 

 

Hear only static

• For Lifestyle® DVD systems, check that the FIX adapter cable is plugged into the Zone 2

 

output. If it is not, replace VAR 3-foot adapter cable with FIX 3-foot adapter cable.
