Issue: 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 rmly connected to the transmitter
power input jack.
• Conrm that the speakers are turned on and tuned to the transmitter—
the STDBY./TUNED indicator light on the front of each speaker should be
illuminated blue.
• If you’re using the power adapters, conrm that all three (for both speakers
and for the transmitter) are fully inserted into their wall outlets and the adapter
power cords are rmly connected to the power input jacks on the transmitter or
speaker.

• If you’re using batteries, check that they are fresh and inserted with correct
polarity (+, –).
• Check that the audio source component (stereo, TV, etc.) is turned on and
transmitting sound as it normally should.
• 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.

• When using battery power, make sure the batteries are fresh and replace if
necessary.
• Check that the speaker STDBY./TUNED indicator is illuminated blue.
• 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 Power/Volume/Tuning 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.
