troubleshooting your jbl radial micro
Symptom Possible Problem Solution Note
Sound Quality
No power to unit. Make sure wall power outlet or
power strip has power. Make
sure all switches for outlet/
power strip are on and that all
switches for the unit are on. Is the LED on?
If the LED is not on, power is not
getting to your JBL Radial Micro.
Try the solutions shown.
Sound comes from only one
side/channel. iPod or auxiliary cable is not
seated properly. Make sure you’re using the
correct iPod adapter, and that
the iPod is seated all the way
into the docking station.
Make sure the auxiliary cable is
seated all the way into the jack.
Try resetting the iPod.
If you’re using a 3.5mm auxiliary
extension cable, make sure it’s a
stereo cable.
Distortion (static, crackling or
hissing sounds). Noise may be caused by interfer-
ence from a monitor, cell phone
or other transmitting device. Move the JBL Radial Micro away
from the devices to see if the
distortion is eliminated.
Audio source or source material
may be the problem. Test the JBL Radial Micro with
another source. Does the distortion occur with
specific songs?
If so, check the recording or
record the source again.
Volume level may be too high. Check volume of source. Some devices will distort the
output signal if the volume is
set to maximum.
EQ setting may be too high. Check the EQ setting on your
iPod or source device. JBL recommends that the
source-device EQ be set to “Flat”
or “Off”.
Cable may be bad. Replace cable.
Ground loop.
Check input cable connection.
