•For added protection during lightning storms, unplug the speakers from the electrical outlet and turn off the computer.

•Unplug this apparatus when unused for long periods of time.

• Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as when the powersupply cord or plug has been damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

•Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

• The speakers should be disconnected from the mains by placing the subwoofer Master Power switch in the off position and unplugging the power cord of the speakers from the AC mains receptacle.

WARNING:

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK,

DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPARATUS TO

RAIN OR MOISTURE.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD

Dolby®Digital is the universal standard for 5.1 digital sound. DVDs, PlayStation®2, Xbox

™

, digital cable, satellite TV, and HDTV all use Dolby

standards of THX

and have included the latest Dolby®Digital and DTS®technologies in order to give you a superior

digital audio experience for your PC, gaming, or home theater needs.

Setup

English

Setting up your Z-680 system: Satellite speakers

Before attaching the cables, position two satellite speakers on either side of your computer monitor or television about the same distance from each other as from you. Angle them to face you.

Place the rear speakers behind you and about the same distance apart as the front speakers. You may want to mount these speakers on the wall. If so, simply loosen the screws on the stands and rotate the stands 180°. Mount the speakers using appropriate wall anchors through the holes in the stands.

For a pro-audio look, remove the cloth grilles by pulling them straight off. Removing the grilles will not affect sound quality.

Center channel

Depending on your configuration, place your center channel speaker on your desk (angled up), on top of your monitor or television (angled down), or wall-mounted (angled down). To angle the speaker down for placement on top of your monitor or television, remove the screw, rotate the stand 180 degrees, and reinsert the screw. To wall mount the speaker, remove the screw and mount the stand through the other hole on the bottom of the speaker.

Subwoofer

Because bass frequencies are non-directional, the subwoofer can be placed anywhere in relation to the other speakers. To ensure optimum sound quality do not block the driver or the bass port. To achieve the strongest bass, place the subwoofer near a wall, corner or under a desk.

Note: Please ensure adequate ventilation around the subwoofer. Keep the cooling fins on the back of the subwoofer at least 3 inches away from any object. For your safety, the Z-680 system is protected by a thermal overload switch, which will cause the system to shut down if it becomes too hot. In rare circumstances where the ambient room temperature is high, the unit can shut down. If this occurs, turn off the system and allow it to cool. Increase the ventilation around the system before turning the power back on.

Please take a few minutes to read this manual before setting up your Z-680 system. It will help you optimize your listening experience.

For your safety, set up the entire system before plugging it into a power source.

Important:

EnglishEnglish

Connecting the Digital SoundTouch™Control Center:

Attach the D-sub cable from the Digital SoundTouch™Control Center to the subwoofer and tighten the thumbscrews on each side of the connector. The cable to the control center is specially built for the Z-680 system and cannot be extended.

Important: Do not use an extension cable designed for computer monitors. Computer monitor cables may damage your Z-680 system.

Connecting your Audio Sources:

The Z-680 speaker system can connect to as many as 4 different audio sources simultaneously. These sources can be connected in a variety of different configurations, depending on the type of equipment you have. Instructions are provided below for each type of equipment.

A common configuration is:

•PC sound card to 6-channel direct

•Video game console to optical

•DVD player to coax

•Portable audio to auxiliary jack

PCs

Digital Connection

If your sound card has a digital output jack, you can use it to connect to the Digital SoundTouch

™

Control Center. The control center supports either an optical or a coaxial connection. Check your sound card documentation for instructions on how to enable the sound card’s digital output.

Analog Connection

Use the 6-channel direct input cables to connect the Digital SoundTouch

™

Control Center to the analog

jacks on your sound card. For optimal sound, connect only those cables necessary for your sound card and leave the other cables unattached at both ends:

•6-channel sound card: Connect the orange, black, and green plugs to the Digital SoundTouch

™

Control

Center and to the color-coded jacks on the sound card.

•4-channel sound card: Connect the green and black plugs to the Digital SoundTouch

™

Control Center. Connect the green plug to the sound card’s front jack and the black plug to the sound card’s rear jack. Leave the orange plug unattached at both ends.

•2-channel sound card: Connect the green plug to the Digital SoundTouch

™

Control Center and to the

“line out” jack on your sound card. Leave the orange and black plugs unattached at both ends.

Connecting the speakers:

Once you have positioned the speakers, connect them to the subwoofer. Two 6’ lengths and three 15’ lengths of speaker cable are included. If you want to position your speakers further away, you can use commercially available speaker cable.

Important: Do not plug the subwoofer into AC power until all connections have been made. Improperly connected or shorted speaker wires will damage the system.

On the back of each speaker, unscrew the terminal connectors until you see the holes through the center posts. Insert the cable into the holes, and tighten the connectors.

Connect the speaker end of each wire before connecting the subwoofer end.

On the back of the subwoofer, press the lever on the termi nal and insert the cable. Release the lever and the cable will be locked into position. To avoid wiring confusion, connect the speakers to the subwoofer one at a time. Be sure to connect the cables from the red and black terminals on the speakers to the corresponding red and black terminals on the subwoofer. The cable has a white stripe to aid in maintaining proper polarity.

Important: To avoid shorting out the system, make sure that no exposed wires touch each other and that no stray wires touch other terminals.

When properly connected, the speakers will operate “in phase” and your sound quality will be optimized. If not connected properly, the system will operate “out of phase.” While this won’t damage the system, the sound will be less clear and the bass sounds will be diminished.

Important: Only use the Z-680 satellites with the Z-680 subwoofer. The system is not designed to be used with any other speakers.

Connections

NOTE: To use the optical or coax jacks, you will

need to purchase an optical or coax cable separately. These are readily available at most consumer electronics retailers.
