If there is no sound from
any of the speakers, check
the following:

• 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 VCR
or television hooked up to
the video or auxiliary input
jacks.
• Make sure that the program
material is playing.
• Recheck the hookup con-
nections in the ”Speaker
Connections“ section.

If there is no sound from
the surround speakers or 
it is very low, check the 
following:

• 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 Surround. 
If it is not, try the Phantom
or Simulated surround mode.

If there is no sound from
the center speaker, check
the following:

• Make sure that the proces-
sor is in the Pro Logic, 
3 Stereo, or Simulated mode.
If it is in Phantom or Stereo
mode, the center speaker 
will not play.
• Check the connections
between the subwoofer and
the center speaker.

If you have low bass output,
check the following:

• Experiment with placement
of the subwoofer. Remember,
place the subwoofer in a 
corner to get maximum bass
output from the system.
• Increase the level of bass,
using the remote control.
