Solutions
The system does not power up (the power indicator is not lit)
• check whether the system’s power cord is properly plugged into the
system’s Ac power connector.
• check that the power cord is plugged into a working Ac outlet. If the
outlet is controlled by a switch, make sure the switch is set in the On
position.
• check that the system’s main power switch (located on the rear panel)
is in On position.
Sound plays through the speakers, but there is no Tv picture
• check the hDMI connection between the system and the Tv.
• check the hDMI connection or component video connection between
the source device and the BDS system.
• check that the Tv is turned on and is set to the proper input source.
• unplug the hDMI cable from the Tv and plug it back in again.
There is no sound coming from just the subwoofer
• check that the subwoofer’s power cord is plugged into a working Ac
outlet.
• check that the subwoofer’s power switch is in the On position.
• check that the Subwoofer level control is not turned all the way down
(fully counter clockwise).
• check that the audio connection between the system and the subwoofer
has been properly made.
• check the system’s Settings: configuration menu to make sure that the
subwoofer volume has not been set at 10dB.
There is a constant hum in the sound
• check that all input cables are plugged all the way into their connectors.
• check that all cables are at least 10 ft (3.3m) from fluorescent lights.
• check that all cable connectors are clean. If necessary, wipe them with a
cloth slightly moistened with alcohol.
• Set the subwoofer’s power switch to OFF. If the hum goes away, there
is a ground loop between the subwoofer and the system. plugging
the subwoofer’s power cord into the same Ac outlet that the system is
plugged into should eliminate the ground loop.
