Troubleshooting
Emotiva’s airmotiv™ 5s powered monitors are carefully designed and manufactured from high-
quality precision components to ensure years of trouble free operation.
The troubleshooting section describes some common problems and how to eliminate them. If
this doesn’t solve your problem, please contact Emotiva Technical Support, where a real person
will be glad to help you get up and running.
Please remember to power down your airmotiv 5s monitors and all connected equipment before
changing or disconnecting cables.
The following three procedures will address the vast majority of problems that you may
encounter:
Check the power connections:
The blue power indicator on the front of the airmotiv 5s should remain illuminated when the unit
is on. If you don’t have power, verify that the rear panel power switch is on, that the removable
power cord is fully inserted into its back panel receptacle, that you’re plugged into an active AC
outlet of correct voltage, and that the fuse (in the power receptacle) is not blown.
Check the signal source:
It’s a good idea to verify that your signal source is working, that all cabling is correct and intact,
and that signal is present on the input of your airmotiv 5s monitors. First, check the source itself by
trying dierent media (like a dierent CD), or a dierent source component. Next, make sure that
your source is properly congured, that its output level is set correctly, and that your interconnect
cables are properly connected and in good condition. If the problem is common to both channels,
verify that all switches are in their proper positions, and that the output you are using is enabled.
If the problem is occurring in only one channel, test each channel by disconnecting each cable at
the monitor and swapping them. By swapping the left and right connections at dierent points,
you can easily narrow the problem down to a particular cable or piece of equipment.
Problem: No output at all
• Verify that you have power.
• Check your signal source.
