If there is no sound from any
of the speakers:

• Make sure the subwoofer is

plugged into an active AC
wall outlet.

• Make sure the Master Power

Switch, located on the rear of
the subwoofer, is in the
On/Standby position.

• Make sure there is a source –

for example, a DVD Player, CD
Player, VCR or television –
hooked up to one of the four
input jacks.

• Make sure that the program

material is playing.

• Recheck the hookup

connections, referring to the
Speaker Connections section.

If there is no sound from the
surround speakers or
sound is very low:

• Check all connections

between processor/amplifier
and each of the speakers.

• Raise the surround volume

from the remote control (see
Operation section).

• Make sure the TV show or

movie you are watching is
recorded in Dolby Digital or
Pro Logic Surround. If it is
not, try the Phantom or
Simulated Surround mode.

• Increase the surround-

speakers’ level, using the
level-adjustment instructions
found earlier in this manual.

If there is no sound from the
center speaker:

• Make sure that the processor

is in the Surround or
3-Stereo mode. If it is in
Phantom or Stereo mode, the
center speaker will not play.

• Increase the level of the

center channel, using the
level-adjustment instructions
earlier in this manual.

• Check the connections

between the subwoofer and
the center speaker.

If you have low bass output:

• Experiment with placement

of the subwoofer. Remember,
place the subwoofer in a
corner to get maximum bass
output from the system.

• Increase the subwoofer level,

using the level-adjustment
instructions found earlier in
this manual.

• Increase the level of bass,

using the remote control.
