2. If the vocals seem to come from all around you, make sure that the cables between the Argo and your
speakers are connected properly, with the marked connector or cable connected to the positive (red or +)
binding post on the amplifier, and the unmarked connector or cable connected to the negative (black or -)
binding post.
3. If you need to change the speaker cable connection, turn the Argo off first. To avoid possible electrical shock
or damage to the amplifier, you must discharge the energy stored in the power supply. To discharge the power
supply, turn the power off with music playing. It may take up to a minute or so for the sound to die out. After
the sound dies out, it is OK to change or adjust the cables.
Sound comes from the wrong speaker
If left-channel sounds are coming from the right or vice-versa (i.e., the violins in an orchestral recording come
from the right speaker, not the left), check the cable connections between the source and the Argo, and the
Argo and your speakers. Make sure left-channel cables are connected to the left channels of the Argo and
amp, and right to the right channels.
Only one speaker is working, or one speaker is playing a different piece of music
1. Check each cable between the Argo and the source components. Make sure the left channel of the source
goes to the left input on the Argo (which is on the right side, as you're looking at the back panel), and the right
channel to the right input (which is on the left side). On the back of the Argo, the left and right inputs are NOT
next to each other. They are on opposite sides of the unit. In other words, the XLR and RCA input numbers are
1, 2, 2, 1.
2. If you’re listening to your speakers, check to make sure both speaker cables are firmly connected.
3. If you’re listening to headphones, check to make sure the headphone plug is pushed all the way into the
Argo’s headphone jack. If you’re using an adapter, make sure the headphone plug is fully inserted into the
adapter, that the adapter is fully inserted into the Argo’s headphone jack, and that the connection between the
headphone cable and the headphones are secure.
Remote control does not work
1. Move the remote a few feet away to a different location and try again. The remote requires a clear line-of-
sight to the infrared detector on the Argo’s front panel.
2. If the remote still doesn’t work, use a 3/32” Allen wrench to remove the remote’s battery compartment
cover, then replace the remote’s two AAA batteries and replace the cover.
Balance and volume controls do not function
1. If you are using the input configured for home theater bypass, this situation is normal—volume and balance
controls do not function in this mode.
2. If you are not using an input configured for home theater bypass, you need to clear out the minimum and
maximum volume settings for the input you are using. Press the multifunction button labeled Setup on the
screen, then press the Default button.
