Cause

AC power is not getting to the am-

plifier.

Fuse is blown or subwoofer

amplifier is not working.

Connection between 12" woofer

and sub amplifier is loose or not

connected.

12" woofer or sub amplifier is

faulty.

The subwoofer is not receiving a

signal.

Subwoofer amplifier may not

be not working. See solution to

troubleshoot.

Volume level on subwoofer or

receiver's subwoofer output is too

low.

Subwoofer is not placed correctly.

Solution

• Make sure the switch on the back of the sub is in the "ON"

position.

• Check that you are using the correct power cord and that it is

plugged in securely at both ends. Make sure that the AC outlet

the subwoofer is plugged into is working. Try another power cord.

• If you have determined you are using the correct power cord,

it is plugged in securely at both ends, and your AC outlet has

power but the LED is still not lighting up, check your fuse (see

#9, Page 5). If this does not correct the problem, your amplifier

needs service. Please contact BIC Tech Support.

• Unplug your subwoofer. Unscrew the outer screws on the back

of the sub amp. Wiggle the amp out and make sure both (+)

and (-) leads from the amp are securely connected to the (+)

and (-) leads on the woofer. If not, this will solve the problem.

• Determine whether the woofer or amplifier is

defective.

Unplug your subwoofer. Unscrew the outer screws around

the woofer. Take the 12˝ woofer out of the cabinet and perform

one of the testing steps below:

1) Touch the woofer's (+) and (-) terminals to the (+) and (-)

terminals on a 9-volt battery. If you hear a popping noise, the

woofer is good and the amp needs repair. If you do not hear a

popping noise, the woofer is bad.

2) Touch the woofer's (+) and (-) terminals to the (+) and

(-) leads of a speaker wire connected to a main channel of your

receiver. If the woofer plays fine, then the amp needs repair. If

it does not play, then the woofer is bad.

• Make sure your digital receiver is set to "SUB ON". Go to the

SPEAKER SET-UP or BASS MANAGEMENT menu and set the sub-

woofer to ON or YES to enable the sub to play.

• Recheck the connections between the receiver and the sub-

woofer.

• Set the subwoofer level to a minimum. Use a different RCA

cable to hook the sub to a DVD players analog output or to an

MP3 player. Play some music and slowly turn the volume up on

the sub. If the sub plays, then the sub is fine and the problem

lies either in the subwoofer cable, the setting on the receiver,

or you have connected to the wrong jack on the receiver. If still

no sound, contact BIC Tech Support.

Increase the volume control located on the back of the sub-

woofer and the subwoofer level or LFE level on the receiver or

other source. It is best to set the level of the subwoofer relative

to the other speakers.
