English Maintaining Your Acoustimass® 5 Series III Speaker System Maintaining your speaker system The cabinets of your Acoustimass 5 Series III speaker system may be cleaned with a soft damp cloth. Do not use any sprays near the system or allow liquids to spill into any openings. Also, do not use any solvents, chemicals, or cleaning solutions containing alcohol, ammonia, or abrasives. The grille assemblies on the cube arrays may be carefully vacuumed if necessary. Please note that the drivers are located directly behind the grille cloth, and are easily damaged if reasonable care is not taken. Troubleshooting Problem What to do One of the cube arrays does not play The Acoustimass 5 speaker system does not play or sounds distorted • Turn off the receiver or amplifier. Check the wiring that connects the cube array to the Acoustimass module, and the wiring that connects the module to the receiver or amplifier. If no problem is found, disconnect the speaker wires at the back of the receiver. Reconnect only the wire from the channel in question to the opposite channel at the receiver. Turn the balance control completely to that channel, and turn the power on. If the cube array now works properly, the problem is in the receiver or amplifier. • Do not connect the other cube array to the defective channel. It could damage your speaker system. • Turn off the receiver or amplifier and disconnect the Acoustimass 5 speaker system. Reconnect the system to another receiver known to be working properly. If the Acoustimass 5 system now works properly, the problem is not in the speaker system. • If this is the case, you should check all user accessible fuses on your receiver or amplifier (see the appropriate owner's guide for help). If the fuses blow again, have the unit checked by qualified personnel. • If trouble persists in your Acoustimass 5 speaker system, contact your authorized Bose® dealer, who will verify any defects and arrange for service by an authorized agency or by the Bose factory. Bose will make every effort to remedy any problem within the terms of the warranty at minimum inconvenience to you. AM196451_05_V.pdf October 23, 2001 11
