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 SPEAKERS COVER.  
• Check and see if there’s anything else that can be causing the  
distortion. If so, move that object away.
