SYMPTOM SOLUTION

If there is no sound from · Check that receiver/amplifier is on and a source is playing.
any of the speakers: · Check that the powered subwoofer is plugged in and its Master Power Switch ª is switched on to the "·" position.
· Check all wires and connections between receiver/amplifier and speakers. Make sure all wires are connected.
Make sure none of the speaker wires are frayed, cut, punctured or touching other wires.
· Review proper operation of your receiver/amplifier.
If there is no sound coming · Check the "Balance" control on your receiver/amplifier.
from one speaker: · Check all wires and connections between receiver/amplifier and speakers. Make sure all wires are connected.
Make sure none of the speaker wires are frayed, cut or punctured, and that no wires are touching each other.
· In Dolby Digital or DTS mode, make sure that the receiver/processor is configured so that the speaker in question is enabled.
· Turn off all electronics and switch the speaker in question with one of the other speakers that is working correctly. Turn
everything back on, and determine whether the problem is in the same place: i.e., the speaker that was working previously
now has no sound and the speaker that was not working now sounds fine; or whether it has moved: i.e., the speaker that
was not working still has no sound and the speaker that was working is still fine. If the problem is in the same place, the
source of the problem is most likely with your receiver or amplifier, and you should consult the owner's manual for that product
for further information. If the problem has followed the speaker, consult your dealer for further assistance or, if that is not
possible, visit our Web site at www.harmankardon.com for further information.
If there is no sound from · Check all wires and connections between receiver/amplifier and speaker. Make sure all wires are connected.
the center speaker: Make sure none of the speaker wires are frayed, cut, punctured or touching other wires.
· If your receiver/processor is set in Dolby Pro Logic mode, make sure the center speaker is not in phantom mode.
· If your receiver/processor is set in Dolby Digital or DTS mode, make sure the receiver/processor is configured so that
the center speaker is enabled.

If there is low (or no) bass · Make sure the SUB or Line-Level Inputs § of the SUB-TS14 subwoofer and SUB or LFE output of your receiver
output: or amplifier are properly connected by the RCA-type interconnect cable.
· If you are using the SUB-TS14's Speaker-Level Inputs ·, check your speaker cables to make sure they are all
connected; that none of the wires are frayed, cut, punctured or touching other wires; and that you have maintained the correct
polarity by connecting positive terminals to positive terminals, and negative terminals to negative terminals.
· Make sure the subwoofer is plugged into an active electrical outlet and its Master Power Switch ª is
switched on to the "·" position.
· Check the speaker setup (bass management) settings in your A/V receiver or processor to make certain that the front,
center and surround speakers are configured for "Small," and that the subwoofer is set for "Yes" or "On."
If there is no sound from · Check all wires and connections between receiver/amplifier and speakers. Make sure all wires are connected. Make sure
the surround speakers: none of the speaker wires are frayed, cut, punctured or touching other wires.
· Review proper operation of your receiver/processor and its surround sound features.
· Make sure the movie or TV show you are watching is recorded in a surround sound mode. If it is not, check to see
whether your receiver/processor has other surround modes you may use.
· In Dolby Digital or DTS mode, make sure your receiver/processor is configured so that the surround speakers are enabled.
· Review the operation of your DVD player and the jacket of your DVD to make sure that the DVD features the desired
Dolby Digital or DTS mode, and that you have properly selected that mode using both the DVD player's menu
and the DVD disc's menu.

SUB-TS14 harman/kardon

Test Set Up and Procedure




Equipment needed:
· Function/signal generator/sweep generator
· Integrated Amplifier
· Multimeter
· Speaker cables

Initial Control Settings:
· Power Switch OFF; Filter OFF
· Level MIN (Full CCW)
· Phase, Auto/On switches do not matter

General Unit Function (UUT = Unit Under Test)

1) From the signal generator, connect one line level (RCA) cable to the Subwoofer Line Level Input jacks L/R
on the UUT. Use a Y-cable from a mono source if necessary to connect to both inputs. Do not connect to
the single, purple SUB input.
2) Turn on generator; adjust to 60mV, 50 Hz.
3) Plug in UUT; turn the power switch ON. Turn LEVEL control full clockwise (MAX)
4) LED should turn from Amber to Blue (on top of UUT); immediate and vigorous bass response should be
heard and felt from port tube opening.
5) Turn off generator, turn LEVEL control full counterclockwise (MIN), and disconnect RCA cable.
6) Connect one pair of speaker cables to Speaker Level input terminal (IN) on UUT. Cables should be
connected to an integrated amplifier fed by the signal generator.
7) Turn on generator and adjust so that speaker level input at the amplifier is 1.2V, 50 Hz. Turn LEVEL control
full clockwise.
8) LED should turn from Amber to Blue; immediate and vigorous bass response should be heard and felt from
the port tube opening.

Sweep Function

1) Follow steps 6-8 above, using a sweep generator as a signal source.
2) Sweep generator from 20Hz to 300Hz. Listen to the cabinet and drivers for any rattles, clicks, buzzes or
any other noises. If any unusual noises are heard, remove woofers and test.

Driver Function

1) Remove woofer from cabinet; detach + and - wire clips.
2) Check DC resistance of woofer; it should be 2.8 ohms ±10%
3) Connect a pair of speaker cables to driver terminals. Cables should be connected to an integrated amplifier
fed by a signal generator. Turn on generator and adjust so that speaker level output is 5.0V.
4) Sweep generator from 20Hz to 1kHz. Listen to driver for any rubbing, buzzing, or other unusual noises.
