TROUBLESHOOTING
Symptom Troubleshooting Question Remedy
No Power Is the power cord plugged into the wall? Plug the power cord into the wall.
Is the power cord plugged into the back of
the amplifier?
Plug the power cord into the back of the
amplifier.
Is the power switch on the back of the
amplifier switched on?
Switch on the power switch.
Is the fuse blown? Replace the fuse with a fuse of the same
rating.
No Sound Is the transducer connected? Connect the transducer properly.
Is the input source connected to the
amplifier input?
Connect the input source.
Is the source outputting a signal? Connect the source to another amplifier
to verify the source is working.
Is the Gain (Volume) Control turned up? Slowly turn up the Gain (Volume) Control.
Is the input signal from the source too
weak to turn on the amplifier?
Set the Auto/On Switch to “On.” If sound
is produced, set the switch back to “Auto”
and either increase the source volume or
set the input switch to “LOW.” Depending
on the source, it is possible you may have
to do both.
Did the transducer stop working? Turn the Gain Control down, wait a few
minutes, then try again.
Not Enough Sound Is the Gain (Volume) Control adjusted
properly?
Turn up the source volume and the Gain
(Volume) Control or set the input switch to
“LOW.” You may need to do both.
Sound Comes and Goes Is the input signal from the source too
weak to turn on the amplifier?
See remedy for the same troubleshooting
question in “No Sound Output” (above).
Did the transducer stop working? Turn the Gain Control down, wait a few
minutes, then try again.
Output Contains High-
frequency Material
NOTE: This assumes
you DO NOT want high-
frequency material.
Is the amplifier set to Low Pass only? Set the Low Pass/Bypass Switch to “Low
Pass.”
Is the Crossover set correctly? (If using
the Low Pass setting)
Turn the Crossover Control counter-
clockwise to eliminate high frequency
material.
Is the LFE/SUB signal connected to the
amplifier input?
Connect the home theater receiver’s LFE/
SUB signal to the amplifier’s input.
Output Does Not Contain
High-frequency Material
NOTE: This assumes you
DO want high-frequency
material.
Is the amplifier set to Bypass mode? Set the Low Pass/Bypass Switch to
“Bypass.”
Is the Crossover set correctly? (If using
the Low Pass setting)
Turn the Crossover Control clockwise to
include more high-frequency material.
Is a full-frequency signal connected to the
amplifier input?
Connect the home theater receiver’s RF
and LF signals to the amplifier’s input.
