7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your Bobtot Home Theater System, please refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:

- Check the audio output settings on your source device (TV, DVD player, etc.) to ensure it's sending audio to the correct output. For digital inputs (ARC/Optical/Coaxial), ensure your TV's digital audio output format is set to PCM.
- Distorted Sound:
- Lower the volume on both the system and the source device.
- Check for loose cable connections.
- Ensure speakers are not placed too close to walls or corners, which can cause bass resonance.

- Make sure your Bluetooth device is within range (approx. 10 meters).
- Try unpairing and re-pairing the device.
- Remote Control Not Working:
