- No sound
• Increase the volume.
• Check to see if MUTE is lit on the display. If it is, press the Mute button on the remote control
to unmute the sound.
• Make sure the Acoustimass module cable and speaker cable are firmly seated in their
respective jacks and the multi-pin connector on the other end is firmly seated in the
Acoustimass module jack.
• Check speaker connections.
• Turn the media center off for 10 seconds, then on again, to restore communication
between the media center and the speakers.
• Check the connections for any external audio devices. Be sure to select the correct source
for the desired input.
• Be sure the disc is placed correctly, label-side up, in the CD tray.
• Connect the FM and AM antennas.
• Unplug the Acoustimass module power cord from the outlet for a minute, then reconnect it.
This allows the unit to reset itself.
• If you are using an optical digital audio connection, make sure that the optical jack is correctly
assigned in the System menu.
• Make sure the volume is turned up on the TV.
• Check input level settings for each connected device in the System menu.
