If you haven’t already, power cycle your A1-MR by unplugging the power connection, and reconnecting it.
If the power indicator on the A1-MR is not illuminated, try these tips:
- Make sure the AC power cord is connected to the power supply unit and to a working AC power outlet.
- Check that the cable at the other end of the power supply is correctly connected to the rear panel of the left speaker.
If the power supply light is on but you are experiencing an audio-related issue with a wired connection, try these tips:
- Verify that the volume/power control on the rear panel is not turned all the way down or powered off (we recommend setting the volume to at least the 10 o’clock position)
- Check that the volume level of your audio source components or devices is not set to minimum volume or powered off.
- Check speaker wire connections from the left (powered) speaker to the right (passive) speaker. Confirm this by removing the speaker wire from each speaker and reconnecting. Also check the speaker wire polarity by verifying that the wires are going to the same terminals on both speakers.
- Check that the cable from your audio source to the speakers are properly connected. Confirm this by unplugging the audio cable and then reconnecting.
- Decrease the volume of the input audio source and increase the volume of the speakers.
- Try playing audio from more than one application on the source device you typically use to connect to your A1-MR (phone, tablet, computer, etc). Make sure the volume is up on your media players, internet radio, master control, device volume, etc. and the balance control is centered.
- Check to make sure your source device is running the most up to date version of software available. If an update is available, make sure you restart your device after the update is installed. For Mac users, be sure to check the App store to see if there's a newer version of Mac OS you could be running.
Standard HD4 troubleshooting tips
The following troubleshooting tips can help diagnose and correct most concerns with the HD4. We have attempted to make this list as comprehensive as possible. Although some of these tips may not apply to your issue, please still go through each one.
-
- Verify that the volume/power control on the rear panel is not turned all the way down or powered off (we recommend setting the volume to at least the 10 o’clock position).
- Double check that your audio source is on and that its volume is not set to the minimum level.
- Check the speaker wire connections from the left (powered) speaker to the right (passive) speaker. Confirm this by removing the speaker wire from each speaker and then reconnecting them. Also, check the speaker wire polarity by verifying that the wires are going to the same terminals on both speakers (black to black, red to red, etc.).
- Make sure that the cables from your audio sources to the speakers are properly connected. Confirm this by unplugging the audio cables and then reconnecting them.
- Decrease the volume of the input audio source and increase the volume of the speakers.
- Try using different audio source devices to see if the problem follows.
- Try swapping your left and right speaker via the RCA left and right inputs to see if the issue remains in the same channel or follows the speaker.
- When using a computer with your HD4 speakers, make sure that the level is turned up on your various volume controls (media players, internet radio, master control, device volume, etc.) and that the balance control is centered.
- If your input source has its own EQ, then please make sure the low end is at a moderate level, as having too much bass can cause distortion.
- If you are using a wireless adapter, preamp, or external DAC with these speakers, then remove them temporarily and connect the audio input source directly to the speakers.
- Move your speakers to a different location to see if something is causing interference in the current setup. Something as simple as a wireless internet router, mobile phone or halogen lamp near the speakers can cause interference.
HD4 troubleshooting tips - Internal USB digital-to-analog converter
Try these tips if your computer does not recognize the speaker through your computer’s USB input. Additionally, try these tips if the sound through the USB input isn’t functioning correctly.
If you are using a Windows computer, uninstall the USB driver from your computer. Then, disconnect the USB cable to remove the HD4 from your computer and plug it back in to allow the USB driver to re-install automatically. You can find complete instructions from Microsoft on how to reinstall a plug-and-play device under Windows here.
If you are using a Mac, try a NVRAM/PRAM reset. This resets the system configurations for some audio and video related items and can many times help clear up problems related to audio. See Apple’s support page for information on how to do this. Also, be sure to check the App store to see if there's a newer version of Mac OS you could be running.
HD4 troubleshooting tips - Bluetooth

the rear panel.
● Be sure the speakers are not in MUTE or SLEEP mode (if so, the front panel indicator
light will be flashing).
● Check that the cables from your audio sources to the speaker are properly connected.
Confirm by unplugging the audio cables and then reconnecting. Try using as many
different inputs and input sources as possible to see if the problem follows.
● Check speaker wire connections from the left (powered) speaker to the right (passive)
speaker. Confirm by removing the speaker wire from on each speaker and
reconnecting. Also check speaker wire polarity by verifying that the wires are going to
same terminals on both speakers.
● Verify that your audio input source components or devices are all powered on and the
volume levels are turned up.

bass output.
● Decrease the volume level of the audio input source and increase the volume of the
speakers.
● If you are using a wireless adapter, preamp, or external DAC with these speakers,
remove these (temporarily) and connect the audio source directly to the speakers.
● If your input source has its own EQ or other sound settings, make sure they are all
temporarily turned off.
● Also try moving the speakers to a different location to see if something is causing
interference in the current location. Something as simple as a wireless internet router,
cordless or mobile phone, or halogen lamp near the speakers can all cause interference.

for more than 2 minutes, the LED will be off. Tap the LED and it should begin blinking (or pair to
your A5+ Wireless using your source device, and the LED will go from off, to on and solid). If
your A5+ Wireless’ LED indicator doesn’t light up, try using a different AC outlet, and check to
see that any wall outlets or surge protectors are switched to the "On" position and are in working
order.
● Try playing audio from more than one application on your phone/tablet, or computer.
● Check to make sure your source device is running the most up to date version of
software available.
● Try disconnecting from and forgetting the A5+ Wireless through your source’s Bluetooth
settings, and re-pairing to the A5+ Wireless.
