Setup Instructions

Follow these steps to set up your Harman Kardon Rev A00 Computer Speakers:

  4. Connect Power: Plug the power supply cable into the designated power input port on one of the speakers. Then, plug the power supply into a standard electrical outlet.

Operating Instructions

Once your speakers are set up, follow these steps for operation:

  • Power On/Off: Rotate the volume knob clockwise to turn the speakers on. Continue rotating clockwise to increase the volume. Rotate counter-clockwise to decrease volume and turn the speakers off.
  • Volume Control: Adjust the volume using the knob located on the front of the left speaker. You can also control the volume from your connected device (computer, laptop).
  • Audio Playback: Ensure your audio source (computer, laptop) is playing sound. The speakers will output the audio from the connected 3.5mm audio jack.
  • Stereo Sound: These speakers provide 2.0 channel stereo audio. For optimal stereo separation, ensure the speakers are positioned appropriately relative to your listening position.

  • Avoid Liquids: Keep the speakers away from water and other liquids. These speakers are not waterproof.
  • Temperature and Humidity: Store and operate the speakers in a dry environment with moderate temperatures. Avoid extreme heat, cold, or high humidity.
