Resolució de problemes

If you encounter issues with your Klipsch RSB-14 system, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

El subwoofer no funciona

• Ensure Night mode is off, as the subwoofer does not operate in this mode.
• Disconnect and reconnect power to the subwoofer. Verify the blue LED on the subwoofer blinks and then turns solid, indicating it's linked to the sound bar.
• If there is no LED, check the power outlet for functionality.
• If the LED blinks but never turns solid, perform the subwoofer pairing process as described in the full owner's manual (if available).

ARC (Audio Return Channel) Not Working

• Follow the procedure in the manual to turn on CEC/ARC on the sound bar.
• Ensure CEC/ARC is also enabled on your television. Consult your TV manufacturer's instructions, as some brands may use different names for CEC/ARC.

Klipsch Stream (Play-Fi) Has Constant Cutting Out or Loss of Connection

• Check your Wi-Fi signal strength using the Klipsch Stream app. A minimum of '2 bars' signal strength is recommended for a reliable connection.
• Consider repositioning your Wi-Fi router to achieve a stronger Wi-Fi signal.
• Refer to the list of Play-Fi recommended routers for optimal compatibility.

Constant Whir/Buzz Noise

• If connected via analog cable or HDMI, the length of the cable and potential for ground loop issues in your home's wiring or cable TV can affect system noise.
• Disconnect all input cables and test alternate sources one at a time to isolate the issue.
• Use shorter analog or HDMI cables if possible.
• Using an optical input cable can help eliminate noise generated from a ground loop coming from a cable box or TV.
