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
connections 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 processor
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.
