Troubleshooting
Here we will address some of the most commonly occurring problems that
can occur with your speakers. Remember we at RSL are always available to an-
swer questions and offer support. Feel free to contact us.
No Sound from Speakers
1, Double check all wire connections. Make sure all wires, cables, and
power cords are securely attached to their terminals.
2. Confirm that your home theater receiver or amplifier is turned on. If
you’ve connected to ‘B’ connections or a separate zone on your receiver,
make sure that the ‘B’ connection or the zone is switched on.
3. Determine the following: if the volume control is set to the minimum, if
your system has been muted, or if headphones are plugged in.
4. Double check all wire connections. If a loose wire strand is touching an-
other wire strand or terminal of opposite polarity, you will hear significant
distortion or no sound at all.
5. Check any settings or features in your receiver that you may have inad-
vertently activated.
6. Make sure no foreign objects or liquids have made their way into the
speaker.
7. In a stereo setting, be sure the subwoofer is turned on or set to standby.
No Sound from One Speaker
If all wires and cables are properly and securely attached, your re-
ceiver is turned on, the volume is ample, but one or more speakers have
no sound, try substituting the wire from a working speaker. This will deter-
mine if the source of the problem is the speaker, or elsewhere. Also,
check the balance control on your receiver.
Distorted Sound from Speakers
1.Check to see if the volume control has been set too high. Your speakers
were designed to play loudly, however all speakers have limits. Too much
volume can create distortion.
Distortion can damage speakers.
If the vol-
ume is lowered and you still hear distortion, the speaker may be damaged
and require service.
2. Double check all wire connections. If a loose wire strand is touching an-
other wire strand or terminal of opposite polarity, you will hear significant
distortion or no sound at all.
