      If you're experiencing no or low audio output from your Jensen Car Receiver, there are several potential causes. First, ensure that your audio output connections are properly wired. Next, verify that the volume isn't set too low and increase it if necessary. Also, check the “MUTE” connection against the wiring diagram. Damaged speakers can also cause this issue, so consider replacing them. Heavily biased volume balance can lead to low output, so adjust the channel balance to the center position. Finally, ensure that speaker wiring isn't in contact with any metal parts of the car; insulate the connections if it is.
