IMPORTANT NOTES Use this troubleshooting guide if: The sound is distorted at high volumes. • Input is clipping: Try lowering the input gain or the volume control on your sound source or music instrument. • Output is clipping: Lower the main volume level. • There is too much bass: Try adjusting the tone or EQ control on your sound source to lower the bass level. This will allow you to play the music louder before clipping (distortion) occurs. • The link cable: is being plugged into the instrument or MIC input instead of the RCA line input. Important: With all large speakers, an initial “break-in” period is needed to perform at optimal levels. To properly “break-in” your BLOCK ROCKER, play an audio source at medium volume for a few hours.
