Troubleshooting
checklist. Also be sure to thoroughly check all other connected components
such as speakers, receiver /amplifier / preamp, VCR, TV, CD player, etc.
Problem
Possible Cause and Solution
Power does not come on
No audio
Remote control not working
No output
Center Channel only plays
Muffled sound in L&R channels
Center channel sound muffled
No Input Level Meters
Check line cord to ensure good connection to the AC outlet and to the
receptacle on the SDP-2 rear panel. Check to make sure that the SDP-2
rear panel power switch is ON.
Check input and output connections. They may be reversed relative to
the IN and OUT jacks of your receiver /amplifier/preamp or other
source.
Check batteries to be certain that they are inserted correctly with proper
polarity. Make sure that the infrared sensor on the SDP-2 front panel is
not obstructed. See "If all else fails..." on the following page.
Make sure that signal is coming into the SDP-2. Increase VOLUME
using the remote control and check Front/Back and Left/Right BAL-
ANCE.
Check the SDP-2 MUTE controls to make sure they are not engaged.
Check all other equipment settings and connections and verify that the
amplifiers being fed by the SDP-2 are operational.
Remember that the SDP-2 mutes the output to any speakers which are
not configured in the Setup menu. If speakers are added to (or removed
from) your system, the Speaker Configuration menu must be altered
accordingly.
Check to see if your HiFi VCR has dropped out of tracking — readjust.
Your VCR Stereo /Mono/L-R switch may be in the wrong position —-
set it to Stereo.
When no center channel is used, CENTER must be configured for
NONE in the Setup Speaker Configuration menu.
The center channel amp may be connected to the subwoofer jack on the
SDP-2 rear panel. Reconnect to Center Output jack.
The meters will only appear when adjusting the Gain parameter of a
selected, active input.
