TROUBLESHOOTING

SYMPTOM

SOLUTION

If there is no sound from any of the speakers:

•Check that the receiver/amplifier is on and that a source is playing.

•Check all wires and connections between the receiver/amplifier and the speakers. Make sure all wires are connected. Make sure none of the speaker wires are frayed, cut, punctured or touching each other.

•Review proper operation of your receiver/amplifier.

If there is no sound coming from one speaker:

•Check the Balance control and channel output level settings on your receiver/amplifier.

•Check all wires and connections between the receiver/amplifier and the speakers. Make sure all wires are connected. Make sure none of the speaker wires are frayed, cut, punctured or touching each other. In multichannel applications, make sure that your receiver/processor has been configured to enable all channels that you are using.

If there is low (or no) bass output:

•Make sure the connections to the speaker inputs have the correct polarity

(+ and –). If you are using two S4S subwoofers, try inverting the polarity on one subwoofer as described on page 4.

•Consider adding a separate power amplifier to drive the S4S subwoofer.

•In Dolby® Digital or DTS® modes, make sure your receiver/processor is correctly configured. When using a power amplifier with your S4S subwoofer, make sure the subwoofer output of the receiver/processor has been enabled. See your receiver/processor’s owner’s manual for further information on correct speaker configuration in Dolby Digital, DTS and other surround sound modes.

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

•Check all wires and connections between the receiver/amplifier and the speakers. Make sure all wires are connected. Make sure none of the speaker wires

are frayed, cut, punctured or touching each other.

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

If you are hearing midrange frequencies (such as vocals) through the subwoofer:

•When using the THX mode, make sure the subwoofer crossover is activated on your processor/receiver.

•When using the Normal mode, adjust the crossover frequency on your electronics to a lower frequency.
