• Make sure the unit is turned on. Try pressing the remote On-Off button and the media
center On-Off button.
• Make sure the Acoustimass module cable is properly connected to the media center and
the Acoustimass module.
• Make sure the power cord is inserted securely into the Acoustimass
firmly into an operating AC wall outlet.
• Be sure to select a source (CD/DVD, AM/FM, etc.).
• Unplug the Acoustimass module power cord from the outlet for one minute, then recon-
nect it. This allows the unit to reset itself. After reconnecting the power cord, wait for the

for the desired input.

rectly assigned in the System menu.
