Troubleshooting
Emotiva’s
airmotiv
™
4s
powered monitors are carefully designed and manufactured from high-
quality precision components to ensure years of trouble free operation.
The troubleshooting section describes some common problems and how to eliminate them. If
this doesn’t solve your problem, please contact Emotiva Technical Support, where a real person
will be glad to help you get up and running.
Please remember to power down your
airmotiv
4s
monitors and all connected equipment before
changing or disconnecting cables.
The following three procedures will address the vast majority of problems that you may
encounter:
Check the power connections:
The blue power indicator on the front of the
airmotiv
4s
should remain illuminated when the unit
is on. If you don’t have power, verify that the rear panel power switch is on, that the removable
power cord is fully inserted into its back panel receptacle, that you’re plugged into an active AC
outlet of correct voltage, and that the fuse (in the power receptacle) is not blown.
Check the signal source:
It’s a good idea to verify that your signal source is working, that all cabling is correct and intact,
and that signal is present on the input of your
airmotiv
4s
monitors. First, check the source itself
by trying different media (like a different CD), or a different source component. Next, make
sure that your source is properly configured, that its output level is set correctly, and that your
interconnect cables are properly connected and in good condition. If the problem is common
to both channels, verify that all switches are in their proper positions, and that the output you
are using is enabled. If the problem is occurring in only one channel, test each channel by
disconnecting each cable at the monitor and swapping them. By swapping the left and right
connections at different points, you can easily narrow the problem down to a particular cable or
piece of equipment.
