Troubleshooting
If you set up your speakers near a television and it distorts the
colors on your television screen, try one of the following:
• Turn your iBlaster Music System off and unplug your television.
Wait 15 to 30 minutes, then plug everything back in.
• Move the speakers farther away from the television until
the distortion disappears.
TO PREVENT THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK,
DO NOT REMOVE THE SPEAKER’S COVER.
• Check and see if there’s anything else that can be causing the
distortion. If so, move that object away.
