Q. What can cause radio feedback? A. If you are living near a radio tower you could have interference caused by radio frequency. Try moving your speakers to see if the interference goes away; if not, you may be able to purchase a stereo cable from your local retailer that has a higher percentage of shielding. Q. Can I hook my speakers to my TV or Stereo? A. Yes, as long as your TV or Stereo has an unamplified source which is line-out (check your TV or Stereo owners manual). These speakers may be used with any audio device that has a stereo headphone jack. You may also need a cable that has RCA jacks on one end and a 1/8 inch stereo connector at the other end (these may be purchased at most local electronics stores). Q. I have very little bass coming from my Subwoofer. How do I increase the bass output? A. Adjust the BASS control through your audio sound source (computer sound card control, CD player control, etc.). Check to make sure that all of your cables are hooked up correctly and are making a good connection. Q. I have a low hum coming from my Subwoofer. Is this normal? A. Yes. The AC in your house is at 60 cycles per second, which is within the audio frequency of your subwoofer. Some low hum is natural and can be detected when your speaker system is powered on without source audio playing, or when volume is set at an extremely low level. Q. I have a loud hum coming from my Subwoofer. What should I do? A. Move the power cord from the power surge protector (if applicable) and plug directly into an AC wall outlet. Move your cables and check to see that they are making a good connection. If you disconnect your stereo cable from the audio source and the loud hum goes away, then you may need to adjust the volume control in your audio source as you may be overdriving the volume settings on your speaker system. If you are using your 2100 speakers with your computer system, just click on the speaker icon located next to the digital clock to the lower right of your Windows 9X or 2000 screen and adjust the volume. Q. When I put my Subwoofer on my desk my monitor distorts. Why? A. The Subwoofer is not magnetically shielded, and this can cause distortion if it is less than 3 feet from your monitor. Q. Where should the volume control be set on my Subwoofer? A. Start with it in the center position then adjust to your preference. Q. The DIN connector from the controller has multiple pins on one end, and when trying to attach this cable I noticed that some of the pins are bent, so I am not able to insert the cable into Subwoofer. What should I do? A. Try to gently straighten the pins with tweezers or very small pliers. If this does not work, then contact the Altec Lansing Consumer Support Department for further instructions.

Verify the AC line cord from the back of the Subwoofer is plugged into the wall outlet. If the AC line cord is plugged into a surge suppressor, make sure the surge suppressor is switched on. Connect System Controller to Subwoofer. Plug another device into the wall outlet (same jack) to insure it is functioning. Verify the AC line cord from the back of the Subwoofer is plugged into the wall outlet. Verify the Power On switch has been pressed (LED is illuminated). Turn the rotary knob to the right to raise the system Master Volume. Check volume level on computer sound card or alternate audio source device and set at mid level. Connect audio cable from audio source, check plug connections on both subwoofer and source. Make sure these signal cables are inserted firmly into the correct jacks. Make sure that the lime green 3.5 mm stereo jack is connected to the line-out jack of the audio source; make sure it is fully inserted. Test the speakers on another audio device. Remove the audio cable from the audio source device and connect it to the line-out on another audio device or the headphone jack of another audio source device. If your model has a Subwoofer Volume control, try adjusting it to increase the Subwoofer volume. If your model offers a Bass Selector function on the System Controller, adjust Select Bass function and raise volume level.
