Tips and Troubleshooting

If you experience any dificulties with your speakers, try the suggestions below. If you

still have problems, contact your Deinitive Technology Authorized Dealer.

There is audible distortion when the speakers play at loud levels.

Audible distortion when the speakers are playing at loud levels is caused by turning

up your receiver or ampliier louder than the receiver or the speakers are capable of

playing. Most receivers and ampliiers put out their full-rated power well before the

volume control is turned all the way up, so the position of the volume control is a poor

indicator of their power limits. If your speakers distort when you play them loudly, turn

the volume down.

I can’t hear the bass on my speakers.

Make sure all your system interconnects and power cords are solidly in place. Check

that the status light is blue to conirm whether the integrated ampliier is on and

receiving a signal. For more information, see page 26.

If you experience a lack of bass, it is likely that one speaker is out of phase (polarity)

with the other and needs to be rewired to connect positive to positive and negative to

negative on both channels. Most speaker wire has some indicator on one of the two

conductors to help you maintain consistency. You may also experience lack of bass if

the bass volume knob is turned too far down. Try turning up the volume.

I hear a hum or unusual noise coming from the speakers.

Should you hear a hum or noise coming from your speakers, try plugging the speak-

ers’ power cords into a different AC circuit.

The speakers turned off on their own.

The system has sophisticated internal protection circuitry. If for some reason the

protection circuitry trips, turn off your system and wait ive minutes before trying the

system again. If the speakers’ built-in ampliier should overheat, the system will turn

off until the ampliier cools down and resets.

If your speakers turn off on their own, check to be sure that:

• Your power cord has not been damaged.

• No foreign objects or liquid has entered the speaker cabinet.

• The speaker cables are properly installed.

If you cannot get the subwoofer driver to turn on or if no sound comes out and you

are sure the system is set up properly, please bring the loudspeaker to your Deinitive

Technology Authorized Dealer for assistance (be sure to call irst).
