•

When there is no sound from the subwoofer

Cause – The front speaker is set to LARGE.

When a 2-channel audio source is input, the low-frequency 

component is not output from the subwoofer but is output 

from the front speaker.

Solution – To output from the subwoofer, change the 

speaker setting.

Method 1: Change the front speaker setting to 

SMALL

.

The low-frequency component is not output from the front 

speaker but is output from the subwoofer. When the low-

frequency playback capability of the front speaker is high, 

we recommend the setting not be changed.

Method 2: Change the subwoofer setting to 

PLUS

.

The low-frequency component is output from the front 

speaker and subwoofer. For that reason, low sounds 

are sometimes output too much. In such a case, we 

recommend not to change or to change to Method 1.

• For details, see “

Speaker Setting

” of the operating 

instructions.

• When no sound is emitted, increase the volume to 

approximately –30 dB.

 Note

• When the remote control cannot be used to operate the unit
