Setup Guide

3. Connect Power: Plug the main power cord into the 'AC IN' inlet on the active right speaker, then plug the other end into a wall outlet.

Connections - TV

To connect your speakers to a TV, you have several options:

• Optical Connection: Use the Digital Optical Cable (included with R-51PM only) to connect your TV's Digital Audio Out (Optical) to the OPTICAL input on the speaker.
• Analog Connection: Use an RCA audio cable to connect your TV's Audio Out (RCA) to the LINE input on the speaker.
• Auxiliary 3.5mm Connection: Use a 3.5mm audio cable to connect your TV's headphone output or auxiliary output to the AUX input on the speaker.

Important: Your TV may need to be set to PCM (or Stereo Only) output mode for digital audio connections.

Connections - Computer

To connect your speakers to a computer (PC/Mac):

• USB Audio Connection: Use the supplied USB Cable (A to B) to connect your computer's USB port to the USB AUDIO input on the speaker. This provides a high-quality digital audio connection.
• Auxiliary 3.5mm Connection: Use a 3.5mm audio cable to connect your computer's headphone output or auxiliary output to the AUX input on the speaker.

Connections - Turntable

To connect your speakers to a turntable:

• Phono Input: Connect your turntable's RCA audio outputs to the PHONO IN/OUT (R/L) inputs on the active speaker.
• Ground Connection: If your turntable has a ground wire, connect it to the GND screw terminal on the speaker to reduce hum.

Ensure the PHONO/LINE switch on the speaker is set to PHONO for turntables with a built-in pre-amplifier, or LINE for turntables without a pre-amplifier (requiring an external phono pre-amp).
