Plug another device into the same jack on the wall outlet to ensure the outlet
is working.
Verify that the grey-colored DIN connector is firmly inserted into the DIN
connector jack on the subwoofer. Ensure the pins are aligned between the plug
and jack. Remember, the arrow should be facing up.
Verify that the subwoofer’s AC power cord is plugged into both the wall outlet
and subwoofer.

Connect audio cable from the audio source. Check plug connections on both
the subwoofer and audio source. Make sure these signal cables are inserted
firmly into the correct jacks.
Make sure that a cable connects the output jacks on the audio source to the
input jacks on the PT6021’s subwoofer.
Test the speakers with another audio source.
Check all cables. Make sure they are connected to the “line-out” or “audio-out”
jacks on your audio source device.
Test the speakers using another audio source (e.g., VCR, DVD, portable CD
player, cassette player or FM radio).
Decrease the volume level on your PT6021’s wired controller or the volume level
on your audio source (if possible.)
Try a different sound source like a music CD.
Move your speakers to see if the interference goes away. If not, you may be
able to purchase a shielded stereo cable from your local electronics shop.
