TROUBLESHOOTING
If there is no sound
from any of the
speakers:
• Check that receiver/amplifier
is on and a source is playing.
• 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, punctured or touching each
other.
• Review proper operation of
your receiver/amplifier.
If there is no sound
coming from one
speaker:
• Check the “Balance” control
on your receiver/amplifier.
• Check all wires and connec-
tions between receiver/amplifier
and speakers. Make sure all
wires are connected. Make sure
none of the speaker wires are
frayed, cut, punctured or touch-
ing 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:
• Make sure the connections
to the “Speaker Inputs” have the
correct polarity (+ and –). If you
are using two HTI88 subwoofers,
try inverting the polarity on one
subwoofer as described on
page 4.
• Consider adding a separate
power amplifier to drive the
HTI88 subwoofer.
• In Dolby* Digital or DTS
®
modes,
make sure your receiver/proces-
sor is correctly configured. When
using a power amplifier with your
HTI88 subwoofer, make sure
the subwoofer output of the
receiver/processor has been
enabled. See your receiver/
processor’s owner’s manual for
further information on correct
speaker configuration in Dolby
Digital, DTS and other surround
sound modes.
If the system plays at
low volumes but shuts
off as volume is
increased:
• Check all wires and connec-
tions between receiver/amplifier
and speakers. Make sure all
wires are connected. Make sure
none of the speaker wires are
frayed, cut, punctured or touch-
ing each other.
• If more than one pair of main
speakers is being used, check the
minimum-impedance require-
ments of your receiver/amplifier.
