TROUBLESHOOTING
If there is no sound from
any of the speakers:
• Check that receiver/amplifier
is on and a source is playing.
• Check all wires and connections
between receiver/amplifier and
speakers. Make sure all wires are
connected. Make sure none of the
speaker wires are frayed, cut, punc-
tured 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 connections
between receiver/amplifier and
speakers. Make sure all wires are
connected. Make sure none of the
speaker wires are frayed, cut, punc-
tured or touching each other. In mul-
tichannel applications, make sure
that your receiver/processor has
been configured to enable all chan-
nels that you are using.
If there is low (or no) bass
output:
• Make sure the connections to the
“Speaker Inputs” have the correct
polarity (+ and –). If you are using
two AAS88 subwoofers, try inverting
the polarity on one subwoofer as
described on page 4.
• Consider adding a separate power
amplifier to drive the AAS88 sub-
woofer.
• In Dolby* Digital or DTS
®
modes,
make sure your receiver/processor
is correctly configured. When using a
power amplifier with your AAS88
subwoofer, make sure the sub-
woofer output of the receiver/
processor has been enabled. See
your receiver/ processor’s owner’s
manual for further information on
correct speaker configuration in
Dolby Digital, DTS and other
surround sound modes.
If the system plays at low
volumes but shuts off as
volume is increased:
• Check all wires and connections
between receiver/amplifier and
speakers. Make sure all wires are
connected. Make sure none of the
speaker wires are frayed, cut, punc-
tured or touching each other.
• If more than one pair of main
speakers is being used, check the
minimum-impedance requirements
of your receiver/amplifier.
