Troubleshooting Guide

The Sherbourn SR-120 was designed and built to provide 

years of trouble-free performance. Most problems that occur 

can usually be solved by checking your setup or making 

sure that the audio and video components connected to 

the processor are on and fully operational. The following 

information will help you deal with common setup problems 

you may experience during normal use of your unit. If 

problems persist, contact Sherbourn Technical Support.

The SR-120 will not turn on (No Power)

 

Important – Please note the SR-120 requires initialization 

after the power cord is plugged into the line cord 

receptacle. Push and hold the power button for approx. 

5 seconds. The unit will power up after this small delay. 

The second push of the power button will turn the unit 

off and after this the unit will turn on and off in a normal 

fashion.

 

Make sure the unit’s line cord is connected to an un-

switched outlet. 

 

Make sure the AC Power rocker switch on the back of 

the unit is in the “ON” position.

No Sound (from one or more full range speakers)

 

Speaker cables may have come undone. Turn off your 

system, check the cables, and tighten the binding posts.

 

An audio cable may have an internal break.

 

The volume level is low for the channels concerned. 

Recheck the calibration procedure.

 

The Mute switch is on.

 

The channel has not been turned on in the Speaker Size 

Menu (L/R Front cannot be set to None.).

 

The correct surround mode is not selected. (Some DVD 

discs are stereo only).

 

Note: In Source Direct mode, only the front left and right 

speakers are engaged. They must also be set to Large.

No Subwoofer (or poor output)

 

The subwoofer’s amplifier is off or its controls are set 

low.

 

Are all other speakers set to LARGE in the Speaker Size 

menus?

 

SUB is not switched on in the Speaker Size Menu.

 

Recheck the calibration procedure.

 

Check the Crossover settings .

 

If the bass is weak during Dolby Digital or DTS playback, 

check that the correct audio output is selected in your 

DVD menu, otherwise it may just play stereo into your 

SR-120 and you won’t get the true LFE signal to the 

subwoofer.
