• In Dolby® Digital or DTS® modes, make sure that the receiver/amplifier is configured so that
the speaker in question is enabled
• Turn off all electronics and switch the speaker in question with one of the speakers that is
working properly. Turn everything back on, and determine whether the problem has followed
the speaker, or has remained in the same channel. If the problem is in the same channel, the
source of the problem is most likely with your receiver/amplifier, and you should consult the
owner's manual for that product for further information. If the problem has followed the speaker,
consult your dealer for further assistance or contact info@crystal-acoustics.com

6.3 The system plays at low volumes but shuts off as volume increases

• Check all wires and connections between receiver/amplifier and speakers
• Make sure all wires are connected properly
• Make sure none of the speaker wires are frayed, cut or punctured, or touching each other
• If more than one pair of main speakers is being used, check the minimum impedance
requirements of your receiver/amplifier

6.4 There is no sound from the surround speakers

• Check all wires and connections between receiver/amplifier and speakers
• Make sure all wires are connected properly
• Make sure none of the speaker wires are frayed, cut or punctured, or touching each other
• Review proper operation of your receiver/amplifier and its surround sound features
• Make sure the movie or TV show you are watching is recorded in a surround sound mode. If it is
not, check to see whether your receiver/amplifier has other surround modes you may use
• In Dolby® Digital or DTS® modes, make sure your receiver/amplifier is configured so that
the surround speakers are enabled. When five satellites are in use, remember to configure your
receiver or processor for 6.1-channel operation, and when six satellites are in use, configure
your receiver or processor for 7.1-channel operation
• Review the operation of your DVD player and the jacket of your DVD to make sure that the DVD
features the desired Dolby® Digital or DTS® modes, and that you have properly selected that
mode using both the DVD player's menu and the DVD disc's menu

• Make sure your subwoofer is plugged into an AC outlet
• Make sure the subwoofer Y/N option is set to Yes in your receiver or processor's speaker setup menu

• Try moving your subwoofer away from corners or walls in small steps
• The boom results from exciting room resonances
• Small changes in position can make a big difference

6.7 50/60 cycle hum coming from the subwoofer

Your THX subwoofer is reproducing ground loop hum from elsewhere in your system
