Sound from only one speaker
Check if all speaker cable connections are correct.
Try an alternate sound source such as a CD player, MP3 or other player, in case,
the original sound source is at fault.
Check if the computer Soundcard is installed correctly.
When playing CD from computer, only one speaker has sound
This generally occurs with a new computer: only one satellite works when playing an
audio CD, but both speakers function correctly when running a WAV file or playing a
game. The reason for this is that the CD-ROM is not matched with the Soundcard, or
one signal channel maybe shorted to a ground wire. Please refer to your computer's
user manual to adjust the CD-ROM wires.
No sound from any of the speakers
Headphones connected to active speaker. Disconnect headphones.
Check if the AC power is plugged in and the power outlet is switched “On”.
Check if all speaker audio cable connections are correct.
Check if your external sound source equipment is working correctly.
Excessive noise from speakers
Edifier speakers feature a very low noise circuit design. Your external sound source
equipment may have a poor signal-to-noise ratio. Unplug the input audio cable, and
check if the noise is from the CD/DVD player or the computer Soundcard, etc.
Magnetically shielded speakers
Edifier system subwoofers and satellite speakers are magnetically shielded. You can
place the speakers near a TV or monitor. We recommend a 0.2-1 m distance between
the speakers and monitor to avoid possible magnetic field interference.
