Note: The supplied S/PDIF connection cable is terminated with RCA type plugs. In some instances, this type of plug may not match the corresponding sound card. A connector cable (Dongle) is provided that will match the computer output and the S/PDIF cable. Some sound cards may not have a rear analog or S/PDIF output. Refer to your computer instruction manual for information on the sound card used in your model.

NOTE: Le câble de connection IFN S/P (Interface numérique Sony /Philips) se termine par des prises de type RCA. Dans certains cas, il se peut que ces dernières ne correspondent pas à la carte son. Un câble de connection (Dongle) est fourni pour adapter la sortie de l’ordinateur au câble IFN S/P. Il est possible que certaines cartes son ne soient pas équipées d’une sortie analogique ou IFP S/P. Vous reporter au manuel d’utilisation de votre ordinateur pour toute information sur la carte son utilisée sur votre modèle.

NOTA: El cable de conexión S/PDIF termina con enchufes tipo RCA. En algunos casos, este tipo de enchufe podría no adaptarse a la tarjeta de sonido correspondiente. Se proporciona un cable de conexión (Dongle) para adaptar la salida del ordenador y el cable S/PDIF. Algunas tarjetas de sonido podrían no tener una salida posterior analógica o S/PDIF. Remítase al manual de instrucciones del ordenador para obtener información sobre la tarjeta de sonido utilizada en su modelo.

NOTA: Il cavo fornito di collegamento S/PDIF termina con spine di tipo RCA. In qualche caso, questo tipo di spina potrebbe non adattarsi alla corrispondente scheda sonora. Viene fornito un cavo di collegamento (Dongle) che si adatterà all’uscita del computer e al cavo S/PDIF. Alcune schede sonore potrebbero non avere un’uscita posteriore analogica o S/PDIF.

All stereo and surround sound is processed from the satellite speakers. Subwoofer frequencies are monaural and contain no stereo or surround information. As a result, the subwoofer does not have to be placed in any particular relationship to the satellite speakers. The subwoofer is not magnetically shielded and should not be placed near the monitor. Placing the subwoofer on the floor close to a wall, corner of a room or under a desk gives excellent results. Figure 1 shows a typical

Introduction

The ACS56 is especially designed as a “Gaming” amplified speaker system. The input signals to operate the speakers are obtained from a multimedia computer with a gaming “sound” card. The ACS56 can also operate from a stereo sound card. However, in this instance only stereo operation of the speakers is possible.

The ACS56 consists of four satellite speakers and a subwoofer. The satellite speakers are magnetically shielded and can be placed close to the computer monitor without distorting color or images. The subwoofer is not magnetically shielded and should not be placed close to the monitor.

arrangement of the speakers for best stereo and spatial affects.

Setup Instructions (See Figure 2)

Do not insert the power plug into an AC outlet until all connections are made.

Notice that the input jacks on the subwoofer are color coded to prevent errors. The plugs that are inserted into these jacks have matching colors. As an example, the left front speaker satellite has a brown connecting plug. The plug is inserted into the brown color strip under the left front jack marking. All other connections are made in the same way. A DIN plug is used to make the connections for the right front satellite speaker. Note that the DIN plug has
