Why is there no or low audio output from my Boss Audio Systems BVML9384 Car Receiver?

  Several factors could be causing the absence of or low audio output. It could be due to an improper audio output connection, which means you should check the wiring and correct it. The volume might be set too low, so increase the volume level. Damaged speakers can also cause this, requiring you to replace them. A heavily biased volume balance can also be the reason, so you should adjust the channel balance to the center position. Finally, if the speaker wiring is in contact with a metal part of the car, insulate all speaker wiring connections.

  If your unit isn't powering on, it might be due to a blown fuse. Check the unit fuse and the car battery fuse; if either is blown, install a new fuse with the correct rating. If the unit experienced an illegal operation, try resetting it.

  A flashing image or interference on the screen may be due to several reasons. The color system of the DVD disc might not match the monitor, so adjust the color system of the DVD disc or the monitor. If you are using a pirated disc, use an original disc. A damaged video cable or improper video signal connections can also cause this, so replace the cables or check the wiring and correct it.
