Care and Maintenance

Problem	What to do
No sound from speakers	• Ensure the speaker wires did not disconnect from the speakers or the receiver/amplifier. • Check the settings on your receiver/amplifier. Refer to the receiver/amplifier owner’s guide for instructions on settings. • If other stereo speakers are connected to a second set of audio outputs on your receiver/ amplifier, select the proper A or B speaker setting to match the A or B outputs connected to your speakers.
Sound from one speaker only	• Center the balance control on your receiver/ amplifier. • Ensure no wires from the positive and negative terminals on the receiver/amplifier are touching. • Disconnect the speaker wire from the receiver/ amplifier channel and reconnect it to a different channel. • Check that no wires from the positive and negative terminals are touching where the speaker wire connects to the speaker. • Disconnect the speaker wire from the speaker and reconnect it to another speaker. If this speaker works, your speaker needs to be serviced. Refer to the contact sheet in the carton. • Replace and re-install the speaker wire if these troubleshooting steps do not solve the problem.
Bass/treble is weak	• Adjust the tonal balance setting on your receiver/amplifier. • Ensure there are no gaps between the speaker frame and the wall surface. • Switch the wires connected to the positive and negative terminals on the receiver/amplifier. • Disconnect the speaker wire from the receiver/ amplifier channel and reconnect it to a  different channel.
