Help with Setup

The speaker system does not power on?

• Press the power button on the right-front speaker. The LED above the power button should light.
• Check that the cable connection from the right-front speaker to the back of the subwoofer is secure.
• Try plugging the subwoofer into a different AC outlet.
• If you’re using a power strip, check and reset the surge protector if it has been tripped.

One or more speakers produce little or no sound?

• Rotate the volume knob on the right-front speaker to the 12 o’clock position.
• If headphones are plugged into the right-front speaker, unplug them. Sound from the speaker system is muted whenever headphones are plugged in.
• Please check that all speaker connections are properly seated. (Refer to step 3 of the Setup instructions.)
• Check the input audio source connection (refer to step 4 of the Setup instructions):

Sound-card connection (5.1 surround sound):
Use both Cables A and B. Your computer’s sound card must be 5.1 enabled and it must have green, black, and orange output jacks, or their equivalent.
Stereo connection:
Use Cable A to connect to laptops, MP3 players, and desktop computers without stereo sound cards. For a desktop/laptop, plug the cable into the line out, speaker, or headphone output jack; plug the other cable end into the green input jack (3.5 mm) on the back of the subwoofer.
Game-console connection:
Use stereo RCA cables (not included). Plug the RCA cables into the red and white RCA input jacks on the back of the subwoofer.

• If you are using a computer, check volume and balance controls in your computer’s media application and operating system. (For more information, see Checking operating system volume/balance controls.)
• Close your media application {computer/game console), and then restart it.
• Connect the speakers to another audio source (e.g., MP3 player). If they work, your computer’s sound card (or game console) may be the cause of the problem.

Checking operating system volume/balance controls

• Windows® Vista and Windows® 7: Go to Start/Control Panel/Sounds/Playback Devices tab. Select your soundcard as the sound playback device. Verify that the Speaker Icon is not muted.
• Windows 8: From Start Menu, select Desktop tile. From Charms menu, select Settings/Control Panel/Hardware and Sound/Sound/Playback devices tab. Select your soundcard as the sound playback device. Verily that the Speaker Icon is not muted.
• Mac OS® X: Open System Preferences and select Sound/Output tab. Select your soundcard as the sound output device and adjust the Output Volume slider. Verify that the Mute box is not checked.

Checking sound output settings for a PS3 game console
