PROBLEM

POSSIBLE SOLUTION

System does not 

switch on:

• Check mains lead is securely fitted to a working 

  mains outlet socket.

No sound from 

one or more 

channels:

• There is a short delay after switching on before 

  the system starts functioning.

• Check all speaker connections are correct and all 

  leads are secured.

• Check all input leads are correctly wired and all 

  connectors are securely fitted.

• Check the settings of the input device.

• Check channel volume settings. 

• Check that MUTE or STANDBY is not selected.

Volume level 

low:

• Check master volume setting. 

• Check individual channel volume settings.

Sound 

distortion:

• Check all inputs are correctly wired up. 

• Check input device settings. 

• Check that the volume level is not set too high.

No sound from 

rear channels:

• Check to ensure that that the DVD disc contains a 

5.1 Dolby Digitial or DTS soundtrack.

• If listening to the AUX input, use the LISTEN 

MODE selector on the remote control to select a 

Pro Logic II mode (see page 7)

Remote control 

not operating 

correctly:

• Check the battery, if the remote controller only 

  works when close to the DS 855, the battery is 

  getting low - replace with suitable CR 2032 sized    

  battery.  

• Check there is nothing obscuring the remote 

  signal sensor on the front panel.

• Check the sub woofer unit is not in direct sunlight, 

  as this can reduce the effectiveness of the remote 

  controller.
