Cause and solution:

 

 

No sound

• Check that the transmitter AC power adapter is fully inserted

 

into the wall outlet and the power cord from the AC adapter is

 

firmly connected to the transmitter power input jack.

 

• Confirm that the speakers are turned on and tuned to the

 

transmitter—the POWER indicator light on the front of each

 

speaker should be illuminated a constant blue.

 

• Confirm that all three power adapters (one for each speaker

 

and one for the transmitter) are fully inserted into their wall

 

outlets and the adapter power cords are firmly connected to

 

the power input jacks on the transmitter or speaker.

 

• Check that the audio source component (stereo, TV, etc.) is

 

turned on and transmitting sound as it normally should.

 

• Make sure the volume on your audio source is turned up.

 

• Check that the speaker volumes are turned up.

 

• If you are using a Tape 2 Monitor output from your receiver/

 

amp as the audio output, check that you have pressed the Tape

 

Monitor/Tape 2 button on the front of the receiver. This will turn

 

on the Tape 2 outputs, which may not have been active.

 

 

No sound/

• Check that the speaker POWER indicator is illuminated constant

distortion/

blue.

static

• Change the position of the CHANNEL select switch (1, 2 or 3)

 

 

to change the operating frequency. The speaker will detect the

 

loss of signal and retune automatically. You can also press the

 

AUTOTUNE control once to make the speaker retune.

 

• Change the location of the transmitter. Place it as high

 

and away from obstructions as possible. Avoid placing the

 

transmitter directly on top of or behind a TV.

 

• Move the transmitter and speaker closer together. Sending the

 

signal through certain materials, such as glass, tile, and metal,

 

can decrease the effective transmitting distance of the system.
