TROUBLE SHOOTING

Symptom Solution
Speaker System Will Not Power On.	Power button is not turned on. Press in and check for blue LED indicator light to come on.
	Verify the AC power adapter is plugged into the back of the right satellite speaker and it's plugged into the wall outlet. Verify you are using our Cyber Acoustics AC adapter; it will have our business name on it.
	Check if the wall outlet or power strip you are using is actually getting power.
Speaker Does Not Produce Sound.	Verify the speaker is getting power. Check above steps.
	Make sure the volume is turned up to audible listening level.
	Verify that all cables are plugged into the correct jacks.
	Many times users believe the speakers are not working, when in fact they are having trouble with the sound source. The most common problem when connecting to a computer sound card is the connections are incorrect. Make sure you are connected to the audio output jack from your computer sound card. Many times it has a green color to it. Also, make sure your media device or CD/DVD device is playing and the volume settings are turned up and not muted.
	If you still have problems, disconnect the speaker source cable from your computer and connect to a MP3, CD player, or anything else with a 3.5mm headphone jack. If your speakers work on this other source, you know the speakers are okay and the problem lies with your computer or the connections.
Sound Is Distorted.	Turn the volume down 14 to 12 levels. If this does not work, also check the computer operating system volume level and decrease it if necessary.
	Adjust the computer's master volume control by balancing the volume until it's centered, then adjust the volume levels on the speakers.
