length of time, unplug the unit. Do not place furnit ure or other heavy objects on the cord, and

Save all packing material. It is ess e ntial for shipping in the event the unit ever needs repair.

WATTS

The most consistent standards for measuring watts are “Program Power” and “RMS” because
these measure average sustained levels.

Where loudspeakers have integrated amplifiers, then load (resistance, measured in ohms) is
known so the wattage rating is fixed.

TROUBLESHOOTING
If your system is not operating properly, ple ase refer to the following inform ation. If the

problem persists, disconnect from power and contact your AV reseller immediately.

Problem

Correction

No power light

Press volume control.
Check power source and power input cable.
Check fuse in power cable plug.

Power light on but no
sound

Turn the volume dial on the master loudspeake r up.
Make sure the output volume on your test device is at full and

that it works through the built-in device loudspeakers.

Hum or noise

Check that all input cables shielded properly. Poor quality
cable with uneven shielding introduces noise.

Make sure all source devices are connected to the same power
source. If disconnecting a laptop from power solves the
problem then this is definitely the cause of the problem.

Slave loudspeaker not
working

Check speaker cable to ensure there a proper connection at
both ends.

Slave loudspeaker is
quieter than master
loudspeaker

This is typically caused by the use of incorrect cable between
the master and slave loudspeakers. It is too thin, or shielded.
Replace immediately.
