DBA10EX  In-ceiling Subwoofer Manual 

If possible, it’s often good to try to isolate the problem first. For example, if you’re playing 

a DVD on a television and there’s no sound, try connecting an MP3 player to the system to 

see if that works. If it does work, then the problem is with the television, DVD player, or the 

cables connecting them. If it doesn’t work, the problem will be with the amplifier, speakers, 

or those cables. 

Troubleshooting

Problem

Possible Cause

No Sound

The volume may be turned down or muted. Check the volume 
settings on both the amplifier and the television/computer/CD 
player/etc.

No Sound

Make sure the proper source is selected on the amplifier or 
receiver.

No Sound

Check the cord connecting the amplifier with the source. The 
cord may be damaged or plugged into the wrong input or 
output.

No Sound

Check the wires connecting the amplifier with the speakers. 
Make sure they’re connected properly and not damaged in any 
way.

Poor Sound 
Quality

If you hear something like static, or the sound is cutting in and 
out, check the audio cables. If the problem increases when a 
cable is being moved, then the cable is most likely faulty or not 
connected properly.

Poor Sound 
Quality

Today’s audio systems may have several places to adjust the 
volume, for example your MP3 player may have a volume 
control, and your amplifier may also have one.  Check to be 
certain that the volume isn’t turned up past 80% on any device.

Poor Sound 
Quality

Try changing sources to be certain that the selection you’ve 
chosen is a good quality recording.
