If there is no sound from any of the speakers:

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

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.

Review proper operation of your receiver/amplifier.

If there is no sound coming from one speaker:

Check the “Balance” control on your receiver/amplifier.

Check all wires and connec- tions between receiver/amplifier and speakers. Make sure all wires are connected. Make sure

none of the speaker wires are frayed, cut or punctured.

If there is low (or no) bass output:

Make sure the connections to the left and right “Speaker Inputs” have the correct polarity (+ and –).

Consider adding a powered subwoofer to your system.

In Dolby* Digital or DTS® modes, make sure your receiver/proces- sor is correctly configured. When using a subwoofer, make sure the subwoofer output of the receiver/processor has been enabled. If no subwoofer is being used, make sure the

left and right front and rear speakers have been config- ured as “LARGE.” See your

receiver/processor’s owner’s manual for futher 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 connec- tions 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 require- ments of your receiver/amplifier.
