PLACING SPEAKERS

SATELLITE SPEAKERS

Arrange the satellite speakers to suit your listening tastes — from right next to the monitor to as far apart as the speaker cords allow.

For optimum sound, satellite speakers should be placed at or slightly above ear level, and in an arrangement that offers the most satisfying results.

Note: The satellite speakers ARE magnetically shielded and can be placed close to video displays such as TVs and computer monitors without distorting the image.

MAKING CONNECTIONS

Warning: Do not insert the speaker system’s power plug into a wall outlet until all connections are made. Also, turn off audio source (i.e., your PC, MP3 player, Sony PlayStation, etc.) before connecting the outputs to the speaker system’s inputs.

To ensure first-time operation as expected, please carefully follow the connection sequences described below in the order indicated.

CONSOLE GAMING

(Requires the use of the Console Gaming Y-Adapter, which is not included. This adapter can be purchased at www.alteclansing.com.)

Most console game systems feature dual-RCA outputs. To connect your speakers, follow the steps below:

1.Make sure the power to your console gaming system is turned off.

2.The Console Gaming Y-Adapter has a lime green 3.5 mm stereo jack on one end and two RCA jacks on the other — one red and one white.

3.Locate the red and white RCA plugs on the end of the cable connected to the back of your console gaming system. Connect them to the matching red and white RCA jacks on the Console Gaming Y-Adapter.

4.Connect the lime green 3.5mm stereo cable (hardwired into the right satellite) to the lime green input on the Console Gaming Y-Adapter.

PORTABLE AUDIO DEVICES (MP3, PORTABLE CD PLAYERS, ETC.)

Connect the lime green 3.5mm stereo cable (hardwired into the right satellite) to the headphone jack on your portable audio device.

POWERING ON

1.After all other connections are made, plug the AC power cord into a wall outlet. The speaker system is now ready to operate.

2.Turn on the audio source.

3.Turn on the speaker system by turning the master volume knob on the right satellite until you hear a click sound. An LED will light on the front of the right satellite when the power is ON.

Note: To avoid hearing a popping sound when you turn on your Altec Lansing speaker system, always turn on your audio source first.

VOLUME

The VOLUME knob on the right satellite controls the master volume. Turn the knob clockwise to increase the volume and counterclockwise to decrease the volume.

INPUTS

Various connection schemes between your audio source and the speaker system are available. Determine if you’ll be setting up the speaker system for PC audio/PC gaming, DVD playback, console gaming or with portable audio devices (such as MP3 or portable CD players), then skip to the appropriate section.

PC AUDIO/PC GAMING/DVD PLAYBACK

All PC sound cards have audio outputs. Typically, the outputs will be marked as “front output” and “rear output.” In some cases, slightly different terminology may be used. The sound card’s documentation should help you determine which outputs to use with your speaker system.

Connect the lime green 3.5mm stereo cable (hardwired into the right satellite) to the lime green input labeled “FRONT” on your sound card.

TONE CONTROL

The second knob on the right satellite controls tone. Turn the knob clockwise to increase treble and counterclockwise to decrease treble.

HEADPHONES

To use headphones with the system, plug them into the labeled jack on the right satellite. When headphones are connected, the speaker system is muted.
