There are four types of audio/video cables that come with video game consoles:
1. Standard AV/RCA Cable
(red, white–audio; yellow–video)
2. S-Video AV/RCA Cable
(red, white–audio; yellow, black–S-video)
3. High Definition AV/RCA Cable
(red, white–audio; yellow, blue, red, green–video)
4. Coaxial Connection
(single black cable)
If you have this cable, you need to purchase the RCA
audio cable from the console manufacturer. Or, you
can connect the Sound Rocker through an intermediary
audio source such as a TV, DVD, VCR, etc. (see below).

the video game console’s manufacturer to hook up the video game console through an intermediary device (such as a
TV, DVD, VCR, satellite receiver, etc.). Your intermediary device must have both a coaxial input jack (the standard jack
for cable TV) and an RCA audio output jack, or you can purchase an RCA replacement cable directly from the console
manufacturer. Then follow the audio/video device connection instructions below to connect your Sound Rocker.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Problem
Possible Cause
Solution
Unable to hear sound
The RCA audio cables are not
connected properly.
Check the connection on your audio/video device. The RCA cables should be
connected to the AUDIO OUTPUT jacks. Check the connection on your rocker.
The RCA cables (red and white) must be in the AUDIO INPUT ports.
The AC power adapter is
disconnected from the electrical
outlet or the electrical outlet has
no power.
Check the plug on the AC power adapter. When properly connected with the
volume knob on, the control panel and speakers will illuminate.
If the Sound Rocker still doesn’t power up, try another electrical outlet.
The source knob on the control
panel is in the wrong position.
Turn knob to IN for video games and audio/video devices. Turn knob to MP3
for MP3 and portable CD players.
Unable to connect to the
gaming console
Cables are incorrectly connected.
Check that the console’s RCA audio cables are connected to the Sound
Rocker’s RCA audio cables (red to red and white to white).
Check that the Sound Rocker RCA audio cables (red and white) are connected
to the AUDIO INPUT jacks on the rocker.
Check that the console’s RCA video cable (usually yellow) is connected to the
VIDEO INPUT jack on the TV.
If your video game console has an RCA audio cable, then connect the RCA
audio cable extenders to the red and white audio cables from the video game
console. Connect the supplied RCA audio cable to the video game console’s
red and white audio cables and plug into the input jacks on the Sound Rocker.
Your video game console has a
coaxial cable instead of an RCA
audio cable
Use the instructions provided by the video game console’s manufacturer to
hook up the video game console to an intermediary device (such as a TV,
DVD, VCR, satellite receiver, etc.). Your intermediary device must have
both a coaxial input jack (the standard jack for cable TV) and an RCA audio
output jack.
Purchase an RCA replacement cable directly from the console manufacturer.

Audio/video device has a single
MONO audio output (a common
problem when connecting to an
older TV or VCR).
If your audio source is mono only, as found mainly on older model TVs and
VCRs, an RCA “Y” adaptor (1 male to 2 male; not included) is needed to send
the signal to both Pyramat speakers. Please note: the use of this type of
adapter will not produce a true stereo sound. For optimal performance, it is
recommended that you connect your Pyramat product to stereo outputs only.

RCA audio cables (red and white) must be plugged in to AUDIO OUTPUT jacks
in the source device (TV, VCR, etc.). If you are plugging the cables to the jacks
