English Reference Cleaning your speakers Use a damp cloth to clean your 161™ speakers. Do not use harsh chemicals or household cleaners. Do not apply liquids directly to the speakers. If you vacuum the front grille of the speakers, do so carefully. Troubleshooting If you experience problems with your 161 speakers, the following suggestions may help. If you need additional help, contact your authorized Bose® dealer, or contact Bose directly. Problem What to do Neither speaker plays Bass or treble is weak Only one speaker plays One speaker still does not play Check the settings on your receiver or amplifier. Refer to the owners guide that came with it for instruction on settings. Check the tonal balance setting on your receiver or amplifier. • Check the balance control on your receiver or amplifier. • Check the wires connected to the speaker that does not play. Make sure the wires are in good condition and are firmly connected. See page 5. • Disconnect the wires from both the speaker and the receiver or amplifier. Disconnect the other cord from its speaker, and connect that end of the cord to the speaker that doesn't play. • If the speaker still doesn't play, the problem is in the speaker. If the speaker now plays, continue checking for the source of the problem. • Disconnect the same cord from the amplifier or receiver. Connect it to the other outputs on the amplifier or receiver. • If the speaker plays, the problem is in the original cord that was connected to that speaker. If the speaker does not play, the problem is in that channel of the receiver.
