SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Prior to installing your speakers, read the following safety guidelines to
help prevent damage to any electrical components or harm to users.
• Do not place this product or any of its parts near heat or potential heat
sources, nor in any moist or damp environment.
• Do not hit, drop or mishandle electrical components in such a way as
to loosen, break or otherwise render inoperative any interior or
exterior parts. Place only on a stable, well-ventilated platform.
• Do not remove the back panel except as directed by a qualied
technician in order to minimize the possibility of electrical shock. If in
need of repair or inspection, bring the speaker(s) to a professional
repair person.
• Should liquids or other materials (including fragments of broken parts)
get inside the speaker cabinet, immediately shut power off to the
speaker and have it professionally inspected and/or repaired before
further operation.
• Turn off the power and unplug from power source when the system is
not in use and during electrical storms.
• Clean with a soft, damp cloth only. Avoid abrasives or chemicals.

SETUP/CONNECTIONS
1. Carefully unpack the speakers and accessories. Do not lift or remove
the speakers from the box by the function knobs or attached cords
and cables, as this may damage the speaker unit.
2. Place the satellite speakers and subwoofer in the desired listening
location. (See the conguration example in Suggestions for Setup &
Operation.) Since the stereo sound
emanates only from the satellites, and
because low-frequency sound from
the subwoofer is non-directional, the
placement of the subwoofer doesn’t
affect the overall balance of sound.
To optimize bass efciency, however,
it’s best to place the subwoofer on
the oor near a wall or in a corner of
the room. NOTE: Though magnetically
shielded to be free from interference
when placed near a monitor or TV,
the subwoofer can cause interference
in other components: Position it at
least 30 cm (1 ft.) away from monitors
and televisions. The satellites are
also magnetically shielded; however,
as they won’t cause interference,
they can be placed next to other
electrical components.
3. Based on where you position each of
the ve satellite speakers, connect
them to the corresponding output
jacks on the rear panel (shown at
right, middle) of the subwoofer unit:
FR for front-right; FL for front-left;
CEN for center; SL for surround/
rear-left; SR for surround/rear-right.

4. Using the included RCA cable, connect the input jacks on the rear
panel of the subwoofer unit (above image, top) to the corresponding
line out or audio output jack(s) of the audio source (stereo tuner,
computer, game system or whatever).
5. Plug the AC power cord attached to the rear of the subwoofer unit
(above image, bottom) into an electrical outlet and set the power
switch (also on the rear panel of the subwoofer) to the on position.
OPERATION
With the both the speaker system and the audio source turned on and
generating an audio signal, adjust the volume and bass levels of the
speaker system to desired levels (adjusting the volume/audio output
level on the audio source as necessary) using the controls and indicators
on the front of the subwoofer or the remote control, as described below.
Subwoofer Front Panel
Standby LED: This blinks when the power switch on the rear panel is in
the on position. When the Mute button is pressed, this LED remains
on (no longer blinking), indicating the system has been brought out
of standby and is ready to operate.
Mute LED: This blinks when the sound has been muted using the Mute
button (see below).
Virtual 5.1 / 5.1 Channel LEDs: Pressing the Source button toggles
between these two options, with one or the other corresponding LEDs
lighting to indicate the selection. Virtual 5.1 can be used when the
source isn’t actual 5.1 channel sound.
Bass– / Bass+ LEDs: When the bass control is activated (pressing the
Mode button toggles between bass and volume control), the
corresponding LED will light as the Down/Up buttons are pressed to
lower or raise the level of the bass.
Vol– / Vol+ LEDs: When the volume control is activated (pressing the
Mode button toggles between bass and volume control), the
corresponding LED will light as the Down/Up buttons are pressed to
lower or raise the level of the overall volume (including bass).

Mute button: Press to mute the sound (the Mute LED will blink); press
again to restore the sound.
Source button: Pressing this toggles between the Virtual 5.1 and 5.1
Channel settings. Virtual 5.1 can be used when the source isn’t actual
5.1 channel sound.
Mode button: Pressing this toggles between the bass and volume
controls (volume includes bass).
Down/Up buttons: Press to raise or lower either the bass or the overall
volume level (whichever is selected using the Mode button and
indicated by the corresponding LEDs).

NOTE: To prevent malfunctions and/or damage to other devices — and
to protect your own hearing — always turn down the volume and turn off
the power on all system components before making any connections.

Master Volume: Press (–) to lower the
overall system volume (including bass);
press (+) to raise it.
NOTE: If the remote control fails to work
properly, ensure that the battery is good
(one is included in the package) and there are no obstacles blocking
the remote control signal.
Suggestions for Setup & Operation
• If only one speaker emits CD audio when the system is plugged into
a headphone jack, it’s because WAV les and games normally
transmit only one track of audio.
• If one or more of the speakers don’t provide sound once power is on,
check all connections and controls. NOTE: If adjusting the bass
control doesn’t affect the audio output, it could simply be that the
signal source doesn’t include frequencies below 150 Hz.
