Troubleshooting Guide
The Emotiva RSP-1 is expertly designed and built to provide years of trouble-free performance. Most
problems that occur can usually be solved by checking your connections or making sure that the audio and
video components connected to the RSP-1 are on and fully operational. The following information will help
you deal with common problems you may experience during initial use of your unit. If problems persist,
contact your Emotiva Dealer for assistance.
No Sound (from one or more full range speakers)
• Speaker cables may have come undone from the amplifier. Turn off your system and check the speaker cables,
and tighten the binding posts.
• Audio output cables that connect RSP-1 to the amplifier(s) may not have a good connection. Turn off your
system and check all audio cable connections.
• An audio cable may have an internal break. Switch cable with a different channel to see if the problem migrates
to a different channel or stays in the affected channel(s).
• The correct input is not currently selected.
• The mute switch is on.
• The outputs on high pass and low pass channels may be accidentally reversed. Check that the correct output
feeds the intended amplifier.
• External Processor may be selected but not hooked up.
No Low Frequency (or poor output)
• The powered subwoofer's amplifier is off or its input level controls are set low.
• Adjust the crossover on the subwoofer and/or RSP-1. Generally if you are using the RSP-1 subwoofer output you
should leave your powered subwoofer's crossover switched "OFF".
• Adjust the physical location of your subwoofer. See pages 30-31 to find the best location for your subwoofer.
No Tone Control Functions
• Remember that the tone controls are non-functioning whenever the RSP-1 is in "DIRECT" mode.
• Tone controls are bypassed on both the TAPE and EXT PROC outputs.
Sound Drops Out with CD or DVD Playback
• Make sure the disc is not dirty or scratched.
• Some inexpensive players and changers tend to mistrack more often than you would like.
Remote Not Working
• Make sure the CR2032 battery is not dead or installed incorrectly.
• Make sure that the RSP-1 front panel receiver window is not obstructed.
• If you have programmed the RSP-1 commands into a "learning" type remote, check the user's manual for that
particular device for tips on how to correctly program and/or test the remote commands.
