• Power—the on/off button is on the side of the control pod. Slide to turn the speaker on or off.

• Master Volume Control—this volume is on the top of the control pod and is indicated by the words “MAX” and “MIN.” Rotate clockwise to turn the volume up, and counter-clockwise to turn the volume down.

• Bass Volume Control – the bass volume is located on the side of the control pod. Turn knob to the right to increase bass, turn knob to the left to decrease.

• Headphone Output Jack—connect your headphones to this jack and they will mute the speaker system automatically. The master volume can then be used to turn the volume up or down to your headphones.

• Auxiliary Input Connection—the auxiliary input jack allows the connection of a second audio source. For example, if your speakers are connected to your computer, you would still be able to plug in an iPod or smartphone using the 3.5mm input jack on the side of the control pod. The connected iPod or smartphone would override your computer’s audio source connection while it’s plugged in. Multi-function Control Pod Bass volume control Master volume control Power on / off Headphone output jack Auxiliary input jackTroubleshooting Symptom: Speaker system will not power on. Solution:

• Power button is not turned on. Slide the power button back and forth and check for the blue LED indicator light to come on.

• Verify the AC power cord is plugged into the wall outlet.

• Check if the wall outlet or power strip you are using is actually getting power, i.e. not a switched outlet. Symptom: Speaker does not produce sound. Solution:

• Verify the speaker is getting power. Check above steps.

• Make sure the volume is turned up to audible listening level.

• Verify that all cables are plugged into the correct jacks.

• Many times users believe that the speakers are not working, when in fact they are having trouble with the sound source. The most common problem when connecting to a computer is that the connections are incorrect. Make sure you are connected to the audio output jack from your computer. Many times, this jack will be green. Also, make sure your media device or CD/DVD device is playing and the software volume settings are turned up and not muted.

• If you still have problems, disconnect the speaker source cable from your computer and connect to a smartphone, iPod, or anything else with a 3.5mm headphone output. If your speakers work on this other source, you know they are functioning as normal and the issue likely lies with your computer or the connections. Symptom: Sound is distorted. Solution:

• Turn the volume down by 25% or 50%. If this does not work, also check the audio software volume level and decrease it if necessary.

• Adjust the computer’s master volume control by balancing the volume until it’s at 50%, then adjust the volume levels on the speakers.
