Troubleshooting

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

•Make sure that your receiver’s Center Channel Mode is in the “normal” or “wide” position. If it is in the “phantom” position, the center speaker will not play.

•Check all connections between processor/ amplifier and the center speaker.

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

•Check all wires and connections between receiver/amplifier and speakers. Make sure all wires are connected. 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.
