3 multimedia speaker system, try the following
What to do
• Make sure connections are secure (see "Making con-
nections" on page 10). Check your speaker wires for
cuts or frays which can cause an open or short
circuit.
• Ensure the sound source is plugged in and playing at
an audible volume.
• Make sure the power is on and the system is not
muted. The LED on the control pod should be green
when unmuted.
• If using a PC, check your sound card settings to make
sure the "Digital output only" setting is turned OFF.
This setting is typically found in the Options menu of
the volume control icon. This icon is usually located in
the lower right hand corner of the Windows desktop.
• Decrease the volume at the sound source and
increase the volume on the control pod.
• Check all the connections between the satellite
speakers, control pod, sound source and the
®
Acoustimass
module. Insert the audio connectors
completely into the jacks on the module.
• At the Acoustimass module, switch the wire
connected to the left satellite with the wire connected
to the right satellite. If the problem remains in the
same satellite, the problem is with that satellite
speaker. If the problem switches to the other satellite
(the one that previously played), the problem is with
the sound source or the Acoustimass module.
• To determine if the problem is in the sound source or
the Acoustimass module, disconnect the audio input
cable from the sound source. Plug it into another
sound source (such as a portable CD player
headphone jack) and adjust the volume on the sound
source. If the Companion 3 speaker system operates
properly, the problem is in the original sound source. If
the problem remains, then the problem is in the
Acoustimass module.
• Check balance levels on your sound source.
