    DSUB Collection™ Manual 9. Painting the Grille In some situations the speakers may look better if the color matched the walls, ceiling, or trim in the room.

For example, if you’re playing a DVD on a television and there’s no sound, try connecting an MP3 player to the system to see if that works. If it does work, then the problem is with the tele- vision, DVD player, or the cables connecting them.
