If there is no sound from
any of the speakers:
• Check that receiver/
amplifier is on and that
a source is playing.
• Review proper operation
of your receiver/amplifier.
• Make sure all wires are
connected. Make sure none
of the speaker wires are
frayed, cut or punctured.
If the system plays at low
volumes but shuts off as
volume is increased:
• Check all wires and con-
nections between receiver/
amplifier and speakers.
• Make sure all wires are
connected. Make sure none of
the speaker wires are frayed,
cut or punctured.
• If more than one pair of main
speakers is being
used, check the minimum
impedance requirements of
your receiver/amplifier.
If there is no sound coming
from one speaker:
• Check the “Balance” control
on your receiver/ amplifier.
• Check all wires and
connections between
receiver/amplifier and
speakers.
• Make sure all wires are
connected. Make sure none of
the speaker wires are frayed,
cut or punctured.

Installation of Self-Adhesive
Rubber Pads:
If the S36AW is
to be placed on a surface
(such as a table top or shelf)
rather than being wall-
mounted, the enclosed self-
adhesive rubber pads are to
be attached to the bottom of
the speaker cabinet in their
designated recessed loca-
tions. If the S36AW is to be
wall-mounted, then the four
self-adhesive rubber pads
should be attached to the back
of the speaker, as shown in
the bottom right diagram.
When angle-mounting the
S36AW, only two of the rubber
pads are required, and they
need to be installed on the
back of the loudspeaker, near
the lower edge, so that they
are located between the
S36AW back and the mounting
surface. Please see the
enclosed installation template
for more details.

important to connect both
speakers identically: (+) on the
speaker to (+) on the amplifier
and (–) on the speaker to (–) on
the amplifier. Wiring “out of
phase” results in thin sound,
weak bass and a poor stereo
image. With the advent of
multichannel surround sound
systems, connecting all of the
speakers in your system with
the correct polarity remains
