Installation of Self-Adhesive
Rubber Pads: If the speaker is to
be placed on a surface (such as
a table top or shelf) rather than
wall-mounted, the enclosed self-
adhesive rubber pads are to be
attached to the bottom of the
speaker cabinet in their
designated recessed locations.
If the speaker is to be wall-
mounted, then the four self-
adhesive rubber pads should be
attached to the back of the
speaker, as shown in the bottom
right diagram.
pads are required, and they
need to be installed on the back
of the loudspeaker, near the
lower edge, so that they are
located between the S36AWII
back and the mounting surface.
Please see the enclosed
installation template for more
details.

everything back on, and
• Check that receiver/amplifier is
on and that a source is playing.
• Review proper operation of
your receiver/amplifier.
• Make sure all wires are
connected. Make sure none
of the speaker wires are frayed,
cut or punctured.
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

information.
If there is no sound coming from
one speaker:
• Check the “Balance” control on
your receiver/amplifier.
• Check all wires and connec-
tions between receiver/amplifier
and speakers. Make sure no
wires are touching other wires or
terminals and creating a short
circuit.
• Make sure all wires are
connected. Make sure none of
the speaker wires are frayed, cut
or punctured.
• 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
If the system plays at low
volumes but shuts off as volume
is increased:
• Check all wires and con-
nections between receiver/
amplifier and speakers.
• Make sure all wires are
connected. Make sure none of
the speaker wires are frayed, cut
or punctured.
• If more than one pair of main
speakers is being used, check
