TROUBLESHOOTING
Symptom Troubleshooting Question Remedy
No Power Is the power cord plugged into the wall? Plug the power cord into the wall.
Is the power cord plugged into the back of the
amplifier?
Plug the power cord into the back of the
amplifier.
Is the remote control attached to the amplifier? Plug the wire for the remote control into the
amplifier.
Is the On/Auto/Off Switch switched on? Switch the On/Auto/Off Switch to either “Auto”
or “On”
Is the fuse blown? Replace the fuse with a fuse of the same
rating.
No Sound Is the transducer connected? Connect the transducer properly.
Is the input source connected to the amplifier
input?
Connect the input source.
Is the source outputting a signal? Connect the source to another amplifier to
verify the source is working.
Is the Gain (Volume) Control turned up? Slowly turn up the Gain (Volume) Control.
Is the input signal from the source too weak to
turn on the amplifier?
Set the On/Auto/Off Switch to “On.” If sound
is produced, set the switch back to “Auto”
and either increase the source volume or set
the input switch to “LOW.” Depending on the
source, it is possible you may have to do both.
Did the transducer stop working? Turn the Gain Control down, wait a few
minutes, then try again.
Not Enough Sound Is the Gain (Volume) Control adjusted
properly?
Turn up the source volume and the Gain
(Volume) Control or set the input switch to
“LOW.” You may need to do both.
Sound Comes and Goes Is the input signal from the source too weak to
turn on the amplifier?
See remedy for the same troubleshooting
question in “No Sound Output” (above).
Did the transducer stop working? Turn the Gain Control down, wait a few
minutes, then try again.
Output Contains High-
frequency Material
NOTE: This assumes you
DO NOT want high-frequency
material.
Is the amplifier set to Low Pass only? Set the Low Pass/Bypass Switch to “Low
Pass.”
Is the Crossover set correctly? (If using the
Low Pass setting)
Turn the Crossover Control counter-clockwise
to eliminate high frequency material.
Is the LFE/SUB signal connected to the
amplifier input?
Connect the home theater receiver’s LFE/SUB
signal to the amplifier’s input.
Output Does Not Contain
High-frequency Material
NOTE: This assumes you DO
want high-frequency material.
Is the amplifier set to Bypass mode? Set the Low Pass/Bypass Switch to “Bypass.”
Is the Crossover set correctly? (If using the
Low Pass setting)
Turn the Crossover Control clockwise to
include more high-frequency material.
Is a full-frequency signal connected to the
amplifier input?
Connect the home theater receiver’s RF and
LF signals to the amplifier’s input.
