Intermittent audio from product | 701® Series II speakers

Determine if the issue still occurs at a lower volume.

The speaker contains an automatic electronic protection circuit to prevent speaker damage due to an overload. When the speaker detects an overload, the protection circuit engages until the overload is no longer present. If you hear this interruption, turn down the volume to relieve the overload. The speaker will resume normal play when the volume is set at a safe level.

The overload problem described here should only occur if either a) the receiver is overdriven and sends a distorted signal to the speaker or b) the Watts per channel power output of the receiver is greater than what the speaker is designed to handle.

Try a different audio device.

Connect and play another audio device through your product. This can help determine if the issue is isolated to the first device.

Connect the audio/video device to a different input on the amplifier or receiver

Plug in to a different input section on the back of the receiver using the same cable(s) to determine if the input is the issue. Whichever section you connect to, select the same input using the receiver or remote control buttons to hear and/or see the device.

Bypass any speaker selector box that may be connected.

If you are using a speaker selector device, disconnect it from the system. If the speakers now work with the speaker selector box removed, the speaker selector box is either incompatible, improperly connected or defective. Contact to the speaker selector box manufacturer for assistance.

Check the condition of the speaker wires and be sure they are secure at both ends.

Check the speaker wires for any kinks, scratches, cuts or damage. Replace any damaged wires and check that they are securely connected at both ends.

Try a different set of speakers.

If you have another set of speakers that are compatible with the receiver, unplug your speakers and connect the other set instead. If there is no difference, the issue is with the receiver or speaker cables. If the issue is resolved, however, there is an issue with the first set of speakers.
