Troubleshooting

Speakers not functioning

Please first check if the speaker wires are connected securely; check also if the audio source is at fault.

One speaker does not function when playing CD from computer

This kind of phenomena is prone to happen with new computer system where one speaker does not function when playing

CD yet the system works fine when playing WAV formatted files and computer games. This is mainly due to the fault connection of CD-ROM and sound card. Please refer to the manual of CD-ROM and sound card to adjust the connections.

System dose not work at all

1. Please check if the power is connected, and if the wall outlet is switched on.

2. Please make sure the right input mode is selected.

3. Please check if there is a signal from audio source.

4. Please check if the system is in STBY mode. If so, swipe the control panel to turn on the system.

Noise coming from speakers

The Amplifier circuitry of this product generates very little noise. It is possible that the background noise of some DVD players or that RF noise transmitted from sound cards is high. Keep the system in active mode and remove the audio source. If no sound can be heard at 1 meter away from the system, then there is no problem with this product.

Magnetic interference

This system is magnetically shielded, and can be placed near TV or monitor although we recommend to keep a 1 meter distance between the audio system and the monitor or TV set.
