PLACING SPEAKERS

SUBWOOFER

All stereo-encoded information is heard through the satellite speakers. The subwoofer contains no stereo imaging, and its sound is non-directional. As a result, the subwoofer doesn’t have to be placed in any particular relationship to the satellites. However, placing the subwoofer on the floor close to a wall or room corner provides better bass efficiency and optimum sound.

Warning: The subwoofer is not magnetically shielded. As such, it SHOULD be placed at least 2 feet (0.6m) from TVs, computer monitors, computer hard drives or any other magnetic media (e.g. floppy disks, Zip disks, computer or audio tapes, etc.).

SATELLITE SPEAKERS

Arrange the satellite speakers to suit your listening tastes — from right next to the monitor to as far apart as the speaker cords allow.

For optimum sound, satellite speakers should be placed in a left/right configuration, preferably apart and at equal distance from the center of the listening area. This will offer the best stereo imaging and provide the most satisfying results.

Note: The satellite speakers ARE magnetically shielded and can be placed close to video displays such as TVs and computer monitors without distorting the image.

MAKING CONNECTIONS

Warning: Do not insert the speaker system’s power plug into a wall outlet until all connections are made. Also, turn off audio source (i.e., your PC, MP3 player, Sony PlayStation, etc.) before connecting the outputs to the speaker system’s inputs.

To ensure first-time operation as expected, please carefully follow the connection sequences described below in the order indicated.

SPEAKER SYSTEM

1.Connect the right satellite speaker (with a thicker cable and orange DIN connector) to the orange input on the back of the subwoofer, labeled RIGHT. Note that the arrow on the DIN connector must face up.

2.Connect the left satellite speaker (with a thinner cable and a brown RCA connector) to the brown input on the back of the subwoofer, labeled LEFT.

3.Connect one end of the audio input cable (with lime green connectors at each end) to the matching lime green input plug on the back of the subwoofer, labeled INPUT.

4.Connect the other end of the audio input cable to your desired audio source.

INPUTS

Various connection schemes between your audio source and the speaker system are available. Determine if you’ll be setting up the speaker system for PC audio/PC gaming, DVD playback, console gaming or with portable audio devices (such as MP3 or portable CD players), then skip to the appropriate section.

PC AUDIO/PC GAMING/DVD PLAYBACK

All PC sound cards have audio outputs. Typically, the outputs will be marked as “front output” and “rear output.” In some cases, slightly different terminology may be used. The sound card’s documentation should help you determine which outputs to use with your speaker system.

Connect the lime green 3.5mm stereo cable to the lime green input labeled “FRONT” on your sound card.

CONSOLE GAMING

Most console game systems feature dual-RCA outputs. To connect your speakers, follow the steps below:

1.Make sure the power to your console gaming system is turned off.

2.Locate the red and white RCA cable that came with your console gaming system.

3.Connect one end of the RCA cable to the matching red and white RCA jacks located on the back of the subwoofer, and the other end to the back of your console gaming system.

PORTABLE AUDIO DEVICES (MP3, PORTABLE CD PLAYERS, ETC.)

Connect the lime green 3.5mm stereo cable to the headphone jack on your portable audio device.

POWERING ON

1.After all other connections are made, plug the AC power cord (on the back of subwoofer) into a wall outlet. The speaker system is now ready to operate.

2.Turn on the audio source.

3.Turn on the speaker system by either simultaneously pressing the “+” and

“–” buttons located on the side of the right satellite, or by pressing the stand-by button on the wireless remote. An LED will light on the front of the right satellite when the power is ON.

4.Install the supplied battery in the remote’s battery compartment.

CAUTION: Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type

Note: To avoid hearing a popping sound when you turn on your Altec Lansing speaker system, always turn on your audio source first.

VOLUME

The “+” and “–” buttons on the side of the right satellite control the master volume. The “+” and “–” buttons marked with the word “volume” on the wireless remote also control the master volume. Press the “+” button to increase the volume, and press the “–” to decrease the volume.

TREBLE

The “+” and “–” buttons marked with the word “treble” on the wireless remote control the treble. Press the “+” button to increase the treble, and press the “–” to decrease the treble.

BASS

The “+” and “–” buttons marked with the word “bass” on the wireless remote control the bass. Press the “+” button to increase the bass, and press the “–” to decrease the bass.

LOUDNESS

The button marked with the word "loud" on the wireless remote contours the high and low frequencies to maximize the perceived audio.

2

STAND-BY

To mute the speaker system, simultaneously press the “+” and “–” buttons located on the side of the right satellite, or press the stand-by button on the wireless remote. The LED on the front of the satellite will turn off. To un-mute, perform either command again.

Note: While in stand-by mode, the system continues to receive power. To completely shut down the unit, simultaneously press the “+” and “–” buttons located on the side of the right satellite, or press the stand-by button on the wireless remote, then unplug the unit from the wall.

SYSTEM SPECIFICATIONS*

DEFAULT

The button marked with the word "default" on the wireless remote restores tone controls to original factory settings.

HEADPHONES

To use headphones with the system, plug them into the labeled jack on the right satellite. When headphones are connected, the speaker system is muted.
