Is the control/right 
satellite of your HK-
595 speaker system 
plugged in correctly?

Ensure that the 
control speaker DIN 
connector is pushed 
in properly.

Remove the control 
speaker DIN 
connector from the 
subwoofer, then re-
connect this cable 
ensuring that the DIN 
connector is pushed 
in properly.

There are 12 green 
LED’s on the control 
speaker. At least one 
or more of these 
LED’s should be lit. 
Try adjusting the F/X 
rotary control; this 
should change the 
number of LED’s lit 
on the front of the 
control speaker. If 
LED’s are lit and 
change when you 
turn the F/X button, 
your control speaker 
is plugged in correctly.

Volume level may be 
set low or muted.

Check volume level 
and mute setting in 
Windows Volume 
Control.

Assuming power has 
been verified, engage 
the self-test by 
holding the F/X 
button for six seconds.

Speaker is being 
overdriven by an 
amplified audio 
source.

Ensure that speaker 
is connected to the 
appropriate 
receptacle. Check 
color-coding on 
connectors when 
making connections. 
Make sure that all 
signal cables are 
inserted snugly into 
receptacles.
