SYMPTOM:
ADVICE:
SOUND FROM CENTRE AND REARS ONLY
• Is the amplifier driving the front speakers switched on and the
correct input selected?
• Is the volume on this amplifier turned up?
SOUND NOT COMING OUT OF REAR SPEAKERS
• Is Dolby Pro Logic selected? The relevant LED should glow green.
• Are the rear speakers cormected properly?
• Have rear speakers been switched on (via the remote)?
• Are you replaying Dolby Surround encoded material?
• Has the rear volume been turned up?
• Is your source operating in stereo mode?
Even on Dolby Surround encoded material, sound does not come out
of the rear speakers all of the time; the amount of rear level also varies
from film to film.
SOUND COMING OUT OF REAR SPEAKERS WHEN
MATERIAL IS NOT DOLBY SURROUND ENCODED
There is nothing to check here. Sometimes on normal broadcasts
phase differences in the recordings can confuse the surround steering
circuitry allowing certain signals to be heard from the rear speaken.
You can of course switch off the rear speakers using the remote
control handset, or switch the Xeta 2 to stereo mode.
SYMPTOM:
THINGS TO CHECK:
ADVICE:
NO SOUND FROM ONE LOUDSPEAKER
• See points fisted above.
• Is the balance control set to centre position?
• Is the input balance set to L=R (via the remote)?
For the centre charmel: ensure phantom mode has not been selected
in SET UP MODE.
For the centre or rear channel: ensure these are not switched off via
the remote. Also try adjusting the channel volume.
To check a source component, swap the phono leads over (L -with R)
at the source equipment only. If the fault changes over to the other
channel, then the fault is in the source component.
