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 power/standby switch in the
standby position and unplugging the power cord
of the speakers from the AC mains receptacle.

Setting up your Logitech® X-620 speakers
Important: For your safety, set up the system before plugging it into a power source.

1. Before attaching the cables to the subwoofer, position the two front satellite speakers on either side of
your computer monitor about the same distance from each other as from you. Angle them to face
you. The right front speaker is the control center for your system, so you will want to place it within easy
reach. Place the rear left and right satellite speakers behind you and about the same distance apart as
the front speakers. Position the front center channel speaker on top of your monitor or on your desk in
between your monitor and keyboard. Place the rear center speaker directly behind you. Depending on
where you place your speakers, adjust the stand to direct the sound toward you.

For best sound quality, place the subwoofer on the floor beneath your desk. Be sure to maintain 6
inches spacing around the subwoofer to allow for adequate ventilation around it.

2. Insert the colored plug from each satellite speaker into the corresponding colored jacks on the back of
the subwoofer. Connect the d-sub plug from the front right speaker to the subwoofer as shown on the
previous page. Carefully align the pins before inserting the plug, and screw down the connector.

3. A. If you have a PC and a:

• 7-channel (6.1) sound card: Connect all 3 colored plugs from the audio input cable to the color­coded jacks on the sound card.
