Troubleshooting
No sound from the subwoofer
Check all cable connections to the subwoofer and AV receiver. Ensure the subwoofer is powered on and the volume is turned up. Verify that the AV receiver is configured to output to a subwoofer.
Humming or buzzing noise
Ensure all audio cables are properly shielded and secured. Try plugging the subwoofer into a different power outlet to rule out electrical interference. Check if the volume is set too high, which can sometimes introduce noise.
Weak or distorted bass
Adjust the crossover frequency and volume settings on the subwoofer and AV receiver. Ensure the subwoofer is placed optimally in the room. Check for any obstructions around the subwoofer.
Subwoofer not powering on
Verify that the power cord is securely plugged into both the subwoofer and a working wall outlet. Check the power switch on the subwoofer to ensure it is in the 'On' position.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Connect the SW10 to your AV receiver or amplifier using an appropriate subwoofer cable (RCA type).

Adjust the crossover frequency and volume controls on the subwoofer to match your main speakers and room acoustics. Refer to your AV receiver’s manual for specific subwoofer setup guidance.
