plugged into an active AC wall
outlet.

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

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:

between processor/amplifier
and each of the speakers.
