If there is no sound from any
of the speakers:

• Make sure the subwoofer is

plugged into an active AC
wall outlet.

• Make sure the Master Power

Switch, located on the rear of
the subwoofer, is in the
On/Standby position.

• Make sure there is a source –

for example, a DVD Player,  or
DVD equipped computer –
hooked up to one of the four
input jacks.

• Make sure that the program

material is playing.

• Recheck the hookup

connections, referring to the
Speaker Connections section.

If there is no sound from the
surround speakers or 
sound is very low:

• Check all connections

between processor/amplifier
and each of the speakers.

• Raise the surround volume

from the remote control (see
Operation section).

• Make sure the movie you are

watching or the software you
are using are recorded in
Dolby Digital or Pro Logic
Surround. If it is not, try the
Phantom or Simulated
Surround mode.

• Increase the surround-

speakers’ level, using the
level-adjustment instructions
found earlier in this manual. 

If there is no sound from the
center speaker:

• Make sure that the processor

is in the Surround or 
3-Stereo mode. If it is in
Phantom or Stereo mode, the
center speaker will not play.

• Increase the level of the

center channel, using the
level-adjustment instructions
earlier in this manual.

• Check the connections

between the subwoofer and
the center speaker.

If you have low bass output:

• Experiment with placement

of the subwoofer. Remember,
place the subwoofer in a 
corner to get maximum bass
output from the system.

• Increase the subwoofer level,

using the level-adjustment
instructions found earlier in
this manual.

• Increase the level of bass,

using the remote control.
