Troubleshooting

Symptom	Possible problem	Solution
No sound from SoundSticks II speaker system.	No power to subwoofer.	Ensure power supply is connected to live power source and is properly connected to subwoofer. Please note: When subwoofer is powered, a power LED should light.
	Power adapter plug not inserted correctly.	Place plug with arrow symbol facing UP into the subwoofer.
	No volume or low volume.	Touch the volume "Up" ( + ) pad on the volume control satellite to unmute and/or increase the system volume level. Note: Touching the volume "Down" ( – ) pad lowers the system volume. Touching both ( + ) and ( – ) volume control pads at the same time will mute the system.
No sound from subwoofer, only satellites.	Subwoofer volume control set at minimum.	Rotate subwoofer volume control clockwise until relative volume level is appropriate.
No sound from satellites, only subwoofer.	Satellites not connected to subwoofer.	Check connection of satellites to subwoofer.
High frequencies sound dull.	Satellites not positioned properly.	Position and tilt (angle) loudspeakers toward listener. The sound from the satellites is very directional due to the 4-element linear array design.
