Problems Solutions
The system does not power up (the Power indicator is not lit) • Check whether the system’s Power cord is properly plugged into the
system’s AC Power connector.
• Check that the Power cord is plugged into a working AC outlet. If the
outlet is controlled by a switch, make sure the switch is set in the ON
position.
• Check that the system’s main power switch (located on the rear panel)
is in ON position.
Sound plays through the speakers, but there is no TV picture • Check the HDMI connection between the system and the TV.
• Check the HDMI connection or Component Video connection between
the source device and the BDS system.
• Check that the TV is turned on and is set to the proper input source.
• Unplug the HDMI cable from the TV and plug it back in again.
There is no sound coming from just the subwoofer • Check that the subwoofer’s Power cord is plugged into a working AC
outlet.
• Check that the subwoofer’s power switch is in the ON position.
• Check that the Subwoofer Level control is not turned all the way down
(fully counter clockwise).
• Check that the audio connection between the system and the subwoofer
has been properly made.
• Check the system’s Settings: Configuration menu to make sure that the
subwoofer volume has not been set at 10dB.
There is a constant hum in the sound • Check that all input cables are plugged all the way into their connectors.
• Check that all cables are at least 10 ft (3.3m) from fluorescent lights.
• Check that all cable connectors are clean. If necessary, wipe them with a
cloth slightly moistened with alcohol.
• Set the subwoofer’s power switch to OFF. If the hum goes away, there
is a ground loop between the subwoofer and the system. Plugging
the subwoofer’s power cord into the same AC outlet that the system is
plugged into should eliminate the ground loop.
