problem, it is often helpful to switch the

 

 

nonfunctioning speaker with one that

 

 

is functioning correctly. Turn off all

 

 

electronics before exchanging the

 

 

speakers. Turn everything back on, and

 

 

determine whether the problem is in

 

 

the same place, or has moved with the

 

 

speaker. If the problem is in the same

 

 

place, the source is most likely with your

 

 

receiver or amplifier. If the problem has

 

 

followed the speaker, then contact your

 

 

authorized JBL Synthesis custom installer

 

 

or dealer for further assistance. If that

 

 

is not possible, visit our Web site at
