Setup Instructions
- Positioning Speakers: Place the subwoofer on a stable surface, preferably on the floor or a sturdy desk, to maximize bass response. Position the two satellite speakers on either side of your listening area, ensuring they are facing you for optimal stereo separation. The satellite speakers can also be wall-mounted.
- Connecting Satellite Speakers: Connect the cables from the two satellite speakers to the corresponding output ports on the back of the subwoofer. Ensure a secure connection.
- Connecting Audio Source: Connect one end of the audio input cable to the 'Audio In' port on the subwoofer. Connect the other end to the audio output (e.g., headphone jack or line out) of your audio source device (computer, TV, MP3 player, game console).
- Connecting Remote Control: Plug the wired remote control into the designated port on the subwoofer.
- Power Connection: Plug the power cable into the subwoofer's power input, then plug the other end into a standard electrical outlet.
- Power On: Turn on the speaker system using the power control on the wired remote.
Operating Instructions
Once the system is set up and powered on, you can control its functions using the wired remote control:
- Power On/Off: Use the power button or switch on the remote control to turn the system on or off.
- Volume Control: Rotate the volume knob on the remote control clockwise to increase volume and counter-clockwise to decrease it.
- Bass Control: Adjust the bass level using the dedicated bass knob on the remote control to suit your preference.
Ensure the volume on your audio source device is also set to an appropriate level to avoid distortion.
Maintenance
Proper care ensures the longevity and performance of your speaker system:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the surfaces of the speakers and subwoofer. Do not use liquid cleaners or abrasive materials, as they may damage the finish or internal components.
- Placement: Avoid placing the speakers in direct sunlight, near heat sources, or in areas with high humidity. Ensure adequate ventilation around the subwoofer.
