A Three-Piece Powered Speaker System

Introduction

This speaker system is designed to deliver superior audio performance to computers, smartphones, iPod®, MP3 players, DVD players, and other portable audio devices. The system offers high efficient, long excursion drivers combined with a low distortion, high powered amplifier that provides deep bass with clarity and a greater dynamic audio range.

Box Contents

• 2 x satellite speakers
• Subwoofer
• Control pod
• Owner's guide with connection diagram

Caution

• Do not plug the power supply in until all connections are made.
• Use only the AC power cable supplied with these speakers.
• Keep speakers away from sources of extreme heat, such as stereo amplifiers, space heaters, stoves, and heat vents.
• Use a dry cloth for cleaning. Do not wipe any part of the system with cleaning solvents, such as furniture wax, bleach, benzene, acetone, or ammonia.

Speaker Preparation

• Subwoofer—place on the floor near a wall or corner, for optimum performance. Adjust distance from the corner or wall to affect quality of bass performance as desired. Direct open port toward wall to increase bass punch.
• Satellite Speakers—For best stereo separation, place on opposite sides of the listening device, computer, or TV screen (as far apart as possible is usually best). For example, if you are listening to the speakers using a laptop on a desk, place the left satellite speaker on the far left corner of the desk, and the right satellite speaker on the far right corner of the desk.

  • Turn off the power to your gaming system.
  • Take the red and white dual-RCA connections on the Y adapter, and plug them into the matching red and white RCA jacks on your gaming system.
  • Take the green stereo jack at the other end of the Y adapter, and plug that into the control pod cable with the green plug.

Controls and Features

• Master Volume Control – This control is on the wired remote. Rotate to turn volume up or volume down.
• Bass Volume Control – This control is on the subwoofer jack panel and is indicated by the word “Bass Vol”. Rotate to turn volume up or down.
• Headphone Output Jack – Connect your favorite headphones to this jack and they will mute the speaker system automatically.
• Auxiliary Input Connection – The auxiliary input jack allows connection of a second source.

Troubleshooting

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.
• Adjust the bass volume control to test for maximum and minimum output. You may also need to move the subwoofer either closer or farther away from a wall or corner to affect the sound performance.

If you have questions or need assistance with your speakers, we're here to help.
