PLACING SPEAKERS

WARNING: The subwoofer is NOT magnetically shielded, so it must be kept at least 2 feet (0.6m) from PC monitors, TV sets, computer hard drives, or any other magnetic media (floppy discs, computer or audio tapes, etc.)

The subwoofer is non-directional, so it doesn’t need to be placed in any particular location. Putting it on the floor close to a wall or in a corner will maximize bass efficiency and be sure to provide it with proper ventilation.

Arrange the satellite speakers to suit your listening tastes. The speakers are magnetically shielded, and can be placed close to a PC monitor or TV set without distorting the image.

MAKING CONNECTIONS

WARNING: Do not insert the system’s power plug into an AC outlet until all other connections are made. And turn off audio sources before connecting them to the VS4121’s inputs.

To ensure first-time operation as expected, please carefully follow the connection sequence described below.

1.Connect the right satellite speaker (with a thicker cable and orange DIN connector) to the orange input on the back of the subwoofer, labeled RIGHT. Note that the arrow on the DIN connector must face up.

2.Connect the left satellite speaker (with a thinner cable and a brown RCA connector) to the brown input on the back of the subwoofer, labeled LEFT.

3.Connect one end of the audio input cable (with lime green connectors at each end) to the matching lime green input plug on the back of the subwoofer, labeled INPUT.

4.Connect the other end of the audio input cable to your desired audio source.

GAME CONSOLE (PLAYSTATION® 2, XBOX™, GAMECUBE®, ETC.)

Connect the lime green audio input cable to the matching lime green connector on the console gaming Y-adapter, then attach the other ends of the Y-adapter (with red and white RCA connectors) to the corresponding red and white RCA audio outputs from your game console. Your game console documentation should help you determine which connections to use.
