SettIng up
Positioning the speakers
The size and shape of these speakers make it easy to
position them directly next to your computer. For proper
performance, place the right speaker to the right and the
left speaker to the left of your computer. Make sure there
is equal distance on either side. This provides an accurate
sound stage.
Be sure not to place any object in front of the
speakers, which could block the sound or any
signals from the remote control.
CAUTION: Avoid inserting any objects (such as a cable,
finger, pencil, or screwdriver) into the vent on the side of
each speaker. Such items can damage the speaker and
degrade performance, and may void the warranty.

on your computer reduce its output and unnaturally limit
speaker volume.
Computer volume controls often include:
External buttons, which may operate independent of
the onscreen controls (examples A and B, below).
Onscreen controls, provided on the computer
(examples C, D, and E).
Various media player controls (example F).

Tips on muting:
If you use a control on your computer to mute the
speakers, be sure to unmute them before turning off
the power.
Or you can use the power button on the right speaker or
the remote control to turn off both speakers. Press this
button again to resume play at your previous volume.
Tips on using the remote control:
Some conditions, such as room lighting, furniture that
blocks the signal path, or direct sunlight, can affect
remote operation.
If the remote does not work as it should:
Point the remote more directly at the right speaker,
which receives the remote control signals.
Dim the room lights or move the speakers away from
direct sunlight.
Move closer to the system when you use the remote.
If the problem persists, replace the remote control
battery.
