TROUBLESHOOTING
Symptom Solution
If there is no sound from any of the speakers
•
Check that the receiver/amplifier is on and that a source is playing.
•
Check all wires and connections between the receiver/amplifier and the speakers.
Make sure all wires are connected. Make sure none of the speaker wires are frayed,
cut, punctured or touching each other.
•
Review the proper operation of your receiver/amplifier.
If there is no sound coming from one speaker
•
Check the Balance control and channel output level settings on your receiver/
amplifier.
•
Check all wires and connections between the receiver/amplifier and the speakers.
Make sure all wires are connected. Make sure none of the speaker wires are frayed,
cut, punctured or touching each other. In multichannel applications, make sure
that your receiver/processor has been configured to enable all channels that you
are using.
If there is low (or no) bass output, or you are
hearing only midrange frequencies (such as
vocals) through the subwoofer
•
Make sure the connections to the speaker inputs have the correct polarity (+
and –). If you are using two SSW-3 subwoofers, try inverting the polarity on one
subwoofer.
•
Some processors (receivers) and surround modes may have the subwoofer output
disabled initially. Consult your processor or receiver manual to learn how to
enable the subwoofer output.
•
The crossover frequency to the subwoofer may be set too high. Consult your
processor or receiver manual to learn how to lower your subwoofer crossover
frequency.
If the system plays at low volumes but shuts
off as the volume is increased
•
Check all wires and connections between the receiver/amplifier and the speakers.
Make sure all wires are connected. Make sure none of the speaker wires are frayed,
cut, punctured or touching each other.
•
If more than one pair of main speakers are being used, check the minimum-
impedance requirements of your receiver/amplifier.
