• Problem not diagnosed
• To diagnose the likely source of the
problem, it is often helpful to switch the
nonfunctioning speaker with one that
is functioning correctly. Turn off all
electronics before exchanging the
speakers. Turn everything back on, and
determine whether the problem is in
the same place, or has moved with the
speaker. If the problem is in the same
place, the source is most likely with your
receiver or amplifier. If the problem has
followed the speaker, then contact your
authorized JBL Synthesis custom installer
or dealer for further assistance. If that
is not possible, visit our Web site at
www.jblsynthesis.com for further information.
