  2. Connecting Satellite Speakers to Subwoofer: Locate the speaker output jacks on the rear of the subwoofer. Connect the cables from the satellite speakers to these jacks. Ensure a secure connection.
  3. Connecting Audio Input: Connect the audio input cable (typically a 3.5mm stereo jack) from your computer's audio output port to the "input" jack on the rear of the subwoofer.
  4. Connecting Power: Plug the power adapter into the "12V in AC/DC" port on the subwoofer. Then, plug the power adapter into a standard electrical outlet.

Operating Instructions

  • Power On/Off: The system typically powers on automatically when connected to power and an audio signal is detected. Some models may have a power button on the remote control or a satellite speaker.
  • Volume Control: Adjust the main volume using the remote control or the volume knob located on one of the satellite speakers (if present).
  • Subwoofer Level: The "subwoofer level" knob on the rear of the subwoofer (refer to Image 2) allows you to adjust the bass output independently. Turn clockwise to increase bass, counter-clockwise to decrease.
  • Audio Source: Ensure your computer's audio output is active and the volume is set to an appropriate level.

Maintenance

  • Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the speaker surfaces. Do not use liquid cleaners or abrasive materials, as they may damage the finish.
  • Placement: Avoid placing speakers in direct sunlight, near heat sources, or in areas with high humidity.
  • Cable Management: Ensure all cables are neatly arranged and not pinched or strained to prevent damage.
