TROUBLESHOOTING

Problem Possible Solution
All cables are connected, but there is no solution sound 1.  Check if the

device is on.

2.   Check if the volume knob is set to the minimum; if so, then rotate it clockwise to increase the volume

3.   Check if the playback on the audio source device is paused, muted, or at the

minimum volume level.

Sound is distorted| 1.  If the power of the speakers differs significantly from the power of the amplifier, sound distortions may occur

2.   If the volume on the amplifier and the audio source device is set to the maximum, sound distortions may occur. Please decrease the volume on

one of the devices.

The volume level varies depending on the connected equipment| The amplitude of the electrical signal varies from device to device.

Differences in sound levels are normal.
