TROUBLESHOOTING

If there is no sound from any of the speakers:

•Check that receiver/ampli- fier is on and a source is playing.

•Check that the powered subwoofer is plugged in and is turned on (Power switch å pushed in).

•Check all wires and con- nections between receiver/ amplifier and speakers. Make sure all wires are connected. Make sure none of the speaker wires are frayed, cut or punctured, or touching each other.

•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 con- nections between receiver/ amplifier and speakers. Make sure all wires are connected. Make sure none of the speaker wires are frayed, cut or punc- tured, or touching each other.

•In Dolby Digital or DTS modes, make sure that the receiver/amplifier is config- ured so that the speaker in question is enabled.

•Turn off all electronics

and switch the speaker in question with one of the other speakers that is work- ing correctly. Turn everything back on, and determine whether the problem has fol- lowed the speaker or has remained in the same chan- nel. If the problem is in the same channel, the source of the problem is most likely with your receiver or ampli- fier, and you should consult the owner’s manual for that product for further informa-

tion. If the problem has fol- lowed the speaker, consult your dealer for further assis- tance or, if that is not possi- ble, visit www.jbl.com.

If there is no sound from the center speaker:

•Check all wires and con- nections between receiver/ amplifier and speaker. Make sure all wires are connected. Make sure none of the speaker wires are frayed, cut or punctured, or touching each other.

•If your receiver/processor is set in Dolby Pro Logic mode, make sure the center speaker is not in phantom mode.

•If your receiver/processor is set in one of the Dolby Digital or DTS modes, make sure the receiver/processor is configured so that the center speaker is enabled.

If the system plays at low volumes but shuts off as volume is increased:

•Check all wires and con- nections between receiver/ processor and speakers. Make sure all wires are con- nected. Make sure none of the speaker wires are frayed, cut or punctured, or touching each other.

•If more than one pair of main speakers is being used, check the minimum imped- ance requirements of your receiver/amplifier.

If there is low (or no) bass output:

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

•Make sure the subwoofer is plugged into an active electrical outlet and is turned on (Power switch å pushed in).

•In Dolby Digital or DTS modes, make sure your receiver/processor is config- ured so that the subwoofer and LFE output are enabled.

•Switch the Phase switch ç to the opposite position, and select the position that results in the most pleasing bass response.

If there is no sound from the surround speakers:

•Check all wires and con- nections between receiver/ processor and speakers. Make sure all wires are con- nected. Make sure none of the speaker wires are frayed, cut or punctured, or touching each other.

•Review proper operation of your receiver/amplifier and its surround sound features.

•Make sure the movie or

TV show you are watching is recorded in a surround sound mode. If it is not, check to see whether your receiver/processor has other surround modes you may use.

•In Dolby Digital or DTS modes, make sure your receiver/processor is config- ured so that the surround speakers are enabled. When five satellites are in use, remember to configure your receiver or processor for

6.1-channel operation, and when six satellites are in use, configure your receiver or processor for 7.1 channels.

•Review the operation of your DVD player and the jacket of your DVD to make sure that the DVD features the desired Dolby Digital or DTS mode, and that you have properly selected that mode using both the DVD player’s menu and the DVD disc‘s menu.
