Maintenance/Troubleshooting To clean your speakers Wipe the 701® speaker cabinets clean using a soft cloth dampened with a mild detergent. No other regular maintenance is required. How to troubleshoot problems If you have a problem with your 701 speakers: 1. Turn off the amplifier or receiver and check all the connections between the speakers, amplifier, or receiver. Refer to Figure 3 on page 7. 2. Check your amplifier or receiver owner's guide, since other components may be the cause of the problem. 3. Use the chart below as troubleshooting guidelines. If this does not solve your problem, contact your Bose® dealer to arrange for service. Or use the "For Service" information listed on page 10. Bose Corporation will make every effort to remedy any problem within the terms of your warranty. Problem One speaker doesn't play or sounds distorted. Possible cause Defective amplifier or receiver channel, or defective speaker. Both speakers do not play or sound distorted. Defective amplifier or receiver. How to find out Solution Disconnect the cords from both speakers. Then switch them, connecting the right speaker cord to the left speaker and the left speaker cord to the right speaker. If the previously "broken" speaker now plays properly, and the other one does not, one channel in the amplifier or receiver is probably defective. If the original speaker still does not play properly, call Bose or your retailer to arrange for service. Disconnect the amplifier or receiver from the speakers. Reconnect the speakers to another amplifier or receiver that is working properly. High sound volume drops suddenly. The automatic system protection circuit has activated to protect the speakers from electrical stress or overload. Lower the volume. If it returns to normal, your speakers' automatic protection circuit caused the sudden drop. This volume reduction protects the speakers from electronic stress and overload. Return the volume to a reasonable level and avoid extremely high volume settings. 8
