Is the 

THP-CXB plugged into a live AC wall socket ?

3. Has the THP-CXB overheated and shut off temporarily ?

1. Are the other audio/video components turned ON ?
2. Is the receiver or preamp set to the appropriate input and is that sound source playing ?

 Do you have an unconnected tape monitor selected ?

4. Is the 

 correctly connected to the receiver, preamplifier or integrated amplifier ?

Sound comes from the main speakers but not the Subwoofer.

1. Is the 

   VOLUME control turned up.

2. Is the subwoofer correctly connected to the round binding posts on the THP-CXB ?

Check the speaker connections for small strands of wire touching both terminals.
4. Make sure that the subwoofer is working properly. A quick way to test this is to momentarily connect your subwoofer

directly to the main output of your receiver or power amplifier. It won’t sound very good, but will determine whether

the subwoofer and speaker cables are functional. The subwoofer will not be harmed.
