Problem Possible Cause Solution
The RCA audio cables are not connected properly.
The batteries are old or not installed properly.
Cables are incorrectly connected.
Your video game console has a coaxial cable instead of an RCA audio cable.
RCA cables are incorrectly connected.
Audio/video device has a single MONO audio output (a common problem when connecting to an older TV or VCR).
RCA audio cables are incorrectly connected.
Check the connection on your audio/video device. The RCA cables should be connected to the AUDIO OUTPUT jacks. Check the connection on your rocker. The RCA cables (red and white) must be in the input jacks.
Check to make sure the batteries are working. The power light on the control panel should be on when batteries are installed correctly and have a full charge.
Check that the console’s RCA audio cables are connected to the G-Flex’s RCA audio cables (red to red and white to white).
Check that the G-Flex RCA audio cables (red and white) are connected to the AUDIO INPUT jacks on the rocker.
Check that the console’s RCA video cable (usually yellow) is connected to the input jack on the TV.
If your video game console has an RCA audio cable, then connect the RCA audio cable extenders to the red and white audio cables from the video game console. Connect the supplied RCA audio cable to the video game console’s red and white audio cables and plug into the input jacks on the G-Flex.
Use the instructions provided by the video game console’s manufacturer to hook up the video game console to an intermediary device (such as a TV, DVD, VCR, satellite receiver, etc.). Your intermediary device must have both a coaxial input jack (the standard jack for cable TV) and an RCA audio output jack.
Purchase an RCA replacement cable directly from the console manufacturer.
Check that all RCA audio connections are correct – red to red, white to white.
If your audio source is mono only, as found mainly on older model TVs and VCRs, an RCA “Y” adaptor (1 male to 2 male, not included) is needed to send the signal to both speakers. Please note: the use of this type of adapter will not produce a true stereo sound. For optimal performance, it is recommended that you connect your G-Flex to stereo outputs only.
RCA audio cables (red and white) must be plugged into AUDIO OUTPUT jacks in the source device (TV, VCR, etc.). If you are plugging the cables into the jacks in the front of your TV, these are most likely AUDIO INPUT jacks.
Replace items immediately. Replacement cables and mini adapters can be purchased at your local audio accessory dealer.
