TROUBLESHOOTING
SYMPTOM
4. The system plays at low volumes but shuts off as
volume is increased.
SOLUTION
(a) 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 or punctured or touching each other.
(b) If more than one pair of main speakers is being used,
check the minimum impedance requirements of your
receiver/amplifier.
5. There is low (or no) bass output.
(a) Make sure the connections to the left and right
“Speaker Inputs” have the correct polarity (+ and -).
(b) Make sure the subwoofer is plugged into an active
electrical outlet, and is turned on (Power switch in the
“•” position).
(c) In Dolby digital or DTS modes, make sure your
receiver/processor is configured so that the
subwoofer and LFE output are enabled.
6. There is no sound from the surround speakers.
(a) Check all wires and connections 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.
(b) Review proper operation of your receiver/amplifier
and its surround sound features.
(c) 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/amplifier has other
surround modes you may use.
(d) In Dolby Digital or DTS modes, make sure your
receiver/processor is configured 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 all six satellites are
in use, configure your receiver or processor for 7.1
channels.
(d) 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.
