Connecting to a second audio device

The auxiliary input jack lets you connect a second audio source to
your speakers. For example, if your speakers are connected to your
computer and you want to connect your MP3 player. This second
source will override your computer connection while it’s plugged in.

To connect a second audio source:

• Plug a cable from the second audio source into the headphone output
jack on the second audio source, then plug the other connector into the

3.5 mm AUX Input jack on the right speaker.

Using the microphone pass-through connection

This feature lets you connect a microphone to the speaker and have
the audio input go to your computer. This pass-through feature is the
same as connecting a microphone directly to your computer.

To use the microphone pass-through connection:

• Plug a microphone cable into the microphone input jack on the side of
the right speaker, then connect a cable from the MIC OUT jack on the back
of the right speaker to the microphone jack on the computer.

Make sure that the power outlet or power strip you are using is actually getting power.

The speaker does not
produce sound

The sound is distorted Turn the volume down. If this does not work, check the volume of the computer, or other audio

Checking your sound source

You may believe that the speakers are not working, when, in fact, the
sound source may be the problem. When connecting to a computer,
the most common problem is an incorrect connection. Make sure
that you are connected to the audio output jack from your computer
sound card (usually green). Also, make sure that your CD or DVD drive
is playing and the volume settings are turned up and not muted. If
you still have problems, disconnect the speaker source cable from
your computer and connect it to any device with a mini headphone
jack, such as a digital music player. If your speakers work on the other
source, the speakers are functioning correctly and the problem is in
your computer or the connections.

Make sure that the speakers are getting power (see above steps).
The volume setting is too low. Turn up the master volume control on the speakers.
Check all cable connec tions.
Make sure that your music source is functioning correctly. (See more on this below.)

device you are using, and decrease if necessary.
Adjust the computer’s master volume control by balancing the sound level until it is centered,

then adjust the volume levels on the speakers.
