Describe the problem in detail. We will decide
on the most appropriate course of action.
Troubleshooting
and Service
Gateway ® speakers do not use external fuse
protection or circuit breakers because these
devices tend to impede sound quality and may
only protect the speaker to a marginal degree.
Rather, we use components and designs of the
highest caliber as an effective method of protect-
ing the speaker. However, no amount of protec-
tion will prevent damage caused by defective
associated equipment or extreme abuse.
If you have a problem, first try to determine
if it is indeed a speaker problem. Determine
whether the problem exists in both speakers.
If its does, the problem likely originates in
some other component in the system. If the
problem is in one speaker only, reverse your
speaker leads (left to right, right to left). If
the problem moves to the other channel, your
problem is not in the speakers.
Once you have determined that you have a
speaker problem, contact your dealer for autho-
rized factory service information. If you are
unable to contact your dealer, if your dealer
is unable to solve your problem, or if you have
any questions or comments regarding your
Gateway ® Speaker System, contact us at:
o 6. Some digital receivers only send a
subwoofer out signal when playing a
DVD or movie in the digital mode. In
the 2-channel (stereo music) mode,
no subwoofer out signal is sent to the
subwoofer. You may need to set your
main speakers to “small” mode in
your receiver setup to get the receiver’s
subwoofer out to turn on. Check
your receiver’s owner’s manual for
setup and subwoofer operation.
o 7. Adjust the subwoofer’s VOLUME control
until you are satisfied with the amount
of bass. You may want to try several
different tapes, compact discs or DVDs
while determining how high to adjust
the subwoofer VOLUME. The amount
of bass varies from disc to disc and
between different types of music.
o 8. After you are satisfied with the output of
your subwoofer, you can make all your
volume settings through your main
stereo system’s volume control. The
only time you might want to re-adjust
the subwoofer’s VOLUME is when you
encounter a musical selection that has
abnormally low – or high – bass.
Caring for Your
Gateway ® Speakers
The subwoofer and satellite cabinets are
finished with a very high quality polymer
laminate covering that is both attractive
and serves as an excellent protection for
the wood cabinet. The system can be
cleaned with a damp, soft cloth or you
may use a high-quality furniture polish to
maintain the original luster.
You can leave the SW103 in the ON mode,
and your SW203 or SW303 turned on and
in AUTO mode when not in use. It does
not draw much power in this state and
will be ready to add low bass the moment
you begin to play music. The SW103,
SW203, or SW303 will automatically go
into STANDBY mode after 10 to 20 min-
utes, when no music is playing.
However, if you’re not using your stereo
system for a long period of time (such as
when you’re on vacation), unplug the
subwoofer from the 120 volt AC wall plug.
A Word About
Power Handling
Remember, most amplifiers put out their
full rated power well before the volume
control is turned all the way up!
If your speakers distort when you play
them loud, turn down the amplifier.
