Q: What is RMS?
A: RMS stands for Root Mean Square. It measures how much power a speaker system can deliver continuously. (Units = watts)
Q: Why do I hear static from my speakers?
A: Loose cables can cause static. Check the connections to make sure all cables are connected correctly.
A: Try adjusting the input volume from the media player you are using or from the sound control panel in your system tray.
Q: When I plug headphones into the headphone jack on the speakers, no sounds come out from the speakers?
A: Speakers automatically mute when you plug in headphones.
Q: No sound if coming out of my speakers; what should I do?
A: Check the cable connections, make sure the cable connected to the "Audio In" jack on the speakers is connected to the "Speaker Out" or "Line Out" jack on the sound card. You can test the sound card "Speaker Out" or "Line Out" jack to see if it is working correctly by connecting headphones to it.
A: Try connecting the speakers to a walkman or portable CD player. Plug the speakers into the headphone jack, but make sure the volume is lowered so the speakers are not over powered.
A: Check the system Volume Control, make sure that the volumes are at a reasonable level and are not checked for Muting.
Q: What is the difference between digital and analog signals for speakers?
A: Analog signals record in their original form like recording to a tape. Analog signals can be read and amplified, but can also be damaged by the environment, which reduces sound quality. Digital signals record in binary (numbers that consist of only 0 and 1) and reproduce at the source. This means the signal canīt be damaged or degraded. One advantage of digital signals is there is no sound degradation. Another advantage is they can be compressed, taking less space to store then an analog signal.
Q: My remote control is inconsistent or dead, what should I do?
A: Check the remote control's batteries and their polarity (+ and -) your batteries might be dead. Operate the remote closer to the system, move remote a few feet to avoid an area of dead spot. Remove any objects blocking the remote's sensor.
