Issue: Cause and solution:
No sound • Check that the transmitter AC power adapter is fully inserted
into the wall outlet and the power cord from the AC adapter is
rmly connected to the transmitter power input jack.
• Conrm that the speakers are turned on and tuned to the
transmitter—the POWER indicator light on the front of each
speaker should be illuminated a constant blue.
• Conrm that all three power adapters (one for each speaker
and one for the transmitter) are fully inserted into their wall
outlets and the adapter power cords are rmly connected to
the power input jacks on the transmitter or speaker.
• Check that the audio source component (stereo, TV, etc.) is
turned on and transmitting sound as it normally should.
• Make sure the volume on your audio source is turned up.
• Check that the speaker volumes are turned up.
• If you are using a Tape 2 Monitor output from your receiver/
amp as the audio output, check that you have pressed the Tape
Monitor/Tape 2 button on the front of the receiver. This will turn
on the Tape 2 outputs, which may not have been active.

• Check that the speaker POWER indicator is illuminated constant
blue.
• Change the position of the CHANNEL select switch (1, 2 or 3)
to change the operating frequency. The speaker will detect the
loss of signal and retune automatically. You can also press the
AUTOTUNE control once to make the speaker retune.
• Change the location of the transmitter. Place it as high
and away from obstructions as possible. Avoid placing the
transmitter directly on top of or behind a TV.
• Move the transmitter and speaker closer together. Sending the
signal through certain materials, such as glass, tile, and metal,
can decrease the effective transmitting distance of the system.
