Page 10 BassX-W10 Owner’s Manual TROUBLESHOOTING
The BassX-W10 Subwoofer System is designed to function trouble-free. Most problems occur because of operating errors. If you
have a problem, please check the troubleshooting list first. If the problem persists, contact Tech Support at 1-800-448-0976 or
e-mail us at techsupport@speakercraft.com.
A hum or buzzing sound is heard. The sound may be caused by a ground loop in the system.
Try to eliminate this by reversing the AC plugs of other compo-
nents in the system.
Try plugging the amplifier into another outlet.
Other causes may include faulty cables.
The amplifier will not turn on. The amplifier must be plugged into a live outlet. The power
switch on the rear panel must be on. A signal must be playing
into the input jacks, or speaker inputs.
The Protection Circuit cuts in momentarily and then
turns off.
The circuitry in the amplifier has detected that the amplifier or
subwoofer is in danger of overheating. Normally, this would
happen infrequently and momentarily. If it persists, the amplifier
may not be ventilated appropriately.
Move the amplifier to a better ventilated and/or cooler loca-
tion. NOTE: The amplifier may feel cool at the top, but still be
overheating. Do not use the temperature at the top of the
cabinet as a gauge for amplifier temperature.
The Protection Circuit cuts in and does not turn off. There may be a fault in the wiring, the speaker, or the ampli-
fier. Turn the power switch off and then on again. If the ampli-
fier immediately returns to the Protection mode, turn it off and
check all of the wiring, including all connections at the amplifier,
at the subwoofer, and any connections made to the wall.
No sound is heard. Audio cable to the amplifier is not connected properly or the
cable is bad. Use another cable that you know is good.
Check all speaker wire connections and plugs.
Rear Volume Limit Control is set to 1/2 way or 12 O'clock
