Problem
The power switch is off.
Note: VSX 3000A systems
have three power switches.
The power cord is not
connected.
The power outlet is not
active, or the system's
power supply is not
operating properly.
Corrective action
Turn on the power switches for the system and all
equipment connected to it.
VSX 3000A, VSX 5000, VSX 6000A:
Make sure the power pack is connected to a power
outlet, and that its power cords are seated securely.
VSX 7000s:
Make sure that the system is connected to the
subwoofer and that the subwoofer is connected to a
power outlet. The power for the system is supplied by
the subwoofer, so it must be connected in order for
the system to work.
VSX 7000e, VSX 8000:
Make sure that the system's power cord is in place,
and that it is connected to a power outlet.
If you connect the system's power cord to a power
strip, be sure the power strip is connected to a power
outlet and its power switch is on.
Check the power outlet by unplugging the system
and plugging in a lamp, radio, or other small
appliance. If it does not operate, the outlet is not
active — connect the system to a different outlet.
If the outlet is active, the problem could be in the
system's power supply. In this case, call Polycom
Technical Support and arrange to return the system
for service.
