1) Be sure you have connected the CAT5 cable correctly. Follow the TIA-
568A standard at both ends. Mis-wiring can cause distorted sound or
prevent the system from working at all!
2) Be sure you have connected the speakers in phase. Follow the label
on the product. Out of phase speakers can rob the system of its bass,
especially when driving dual-voice-coil speakers.
3) Trouble with IR control?
a. Make sure you are using the correct remote control. The A0125 will
respond to IR signals from the A0501, A0502, and A0505 remotes
produced by Channel Vision. These remotes can provide both
volume control and source selection commands. Other 3rd party
remote controls that are capable of learning the IR codes from the
remote controls listed above can also be used.
b. The top LED on the A0125 acts as an IR receiver feedback LED that
flashes whenever IR signals are received. Check to make sure the
LED flashes whenever you press buttons on your remote control. If
you don’t see the feedback LED, try replacing the batteries in your
remote control.
c. Try adjusting the placement of your IR emitters. If they are placed
directly over the sensor on the device you are trying to control, try
moving them a short distance away from the sensor.
4) If no audio is heard, check to make sure that the audio source is
playing, then press the power button on the A0125 to make sure it is
turned on.
a. There may be something wrong with the CAT5 audio hub. Some
Channel Vision audio hubs provide LED indicators to show which
zones are connected and active. Review these LEDs and refer to
the instruction manual for your specific audio hub.
5) Observe wiring distance specifications. The maximum recommended
wire length between the audio hub output and A0125 is 300 feet.
Although the A0125 can work at greater distances, such extreme
distances are not recommended because degraded performance may
result due to signal loss caused by longer CAT5 wire runs.
6) If you need additional help troubleshooting the A0125 please contact
Channel Vision technical support (1-800-840-0288) or check our

1.
Place the CAT5 between the blade and the first notch of the J-110 tool.
CAT5 cable should be stripped with a proper stripping tool, such as Channel
Vision’s J-110 tool.
