Test State
The ‘Test’ state is only accessible by pressing the ‘Test’ button on the remote control. When in this state, a pink noise ‘test tone’
will be played from each speaker instead of the selected source input. This tone will come from one speaker at a time, in 2.5
second intervals, in the following order: left front, center, right front, right rear, left rear, sub. To exit this state, just press the ‘Test’
button again.
Use the Test state to verify that your speakers are connected properly, or to set levels between the rear, front, and center
channels.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Can I extend the speaker cables?
A. Yes. Purchase standard speaker wire, 18 gauge or higher, and cut and strip to desired length.
Q. There is no sound coming from one (or more) speakers.
A. Confirm that the speaker is connected properly. When inserting the wire, make sure the bare wire sits on the metal
connector in the spring clip. This is critical – metal must be on metal – or the connection will not be sufficient.
Sometimes the plastic wire shielding is pushed onto the metal connector, which prevents the wire from making a solid
contact with the connector in the spring clip. This will also prevent your speaker from working. If this is the case, simply
pull the wire out some so that the wire makes a clean contact with the metal part of the connector.
Q. What happens if the speaker wires are reversed? (red wire to black spring clip on one speaker, red wire to red spring clip
on the subwoofer, or vise versa)
A. If the wires are not connected to the same color spring clip on both the satellite and the subwoofer, then the speaker
will be out of phase. This will result in noticeably poor or muddy sound. To fix this problem, simply connect the speaker
and the satellite so that the red wire goes to the red spring clip on both the satellite and the subwoofer.
Q. Where can I learn more about my speakers?
