1.Unplug your multimedia speaker system from your computer’s sound card or sound outputs, making careful note of which output jack is associated with each speaker connection. Usually the plugs and jacks will be color-coded GREEN for front left/right and BLACK for surrounds (rear), with the front jack directly above the surround jack on the back of the sound card. Placement and color coding of the jack used for cen- ter/subwoofer (center/bass) output, if any, varies from card to card; Klipsch uses ORANGE miniplugs and mini- jacks for this connection.

2.Plug the cables from your speaker system into the corresponding OUTPUT minijacks on the SWS subwoofer’s back panel. The cable for the front left and right speakers plugs into the GREEN OUTPUT jack. The cable for surround speakers (if any) plugs into the BLACK OUTPUT jack. The cable for a center speaker and a separate bass module (if any) plugs into the ORANGE OUTPUT jack.

3.Use the cables supplied with the SWS to connect its INPUT minijacks to your computer’s sound card. Attach the cable with a GREEN miniplug at each end to the front left/right sound card output and the SWS subwoofer’s FRONT L/R INPUT. Plug the cable with BLACK miniplugs into the surround (rear) sound card output (if any) and the SWS subwoofer’s REAR L/R INPUT. Plug the cable with ORANGE mini- plugs into the center/ subwoofer (cen- ter/bass) sound card output (if any) and the SWS subwoofer’s CENTER/SUB INPUT. Your input con- nections to and output connections from the SWS should match. For example, if the REAR L/R output is connected, so should the REAR L/R input. But if the REAR L/R output is not connected, neither should the REAR L/R input.

Klipsch ProMedia Speaker System with Subwoofer Outputs (Fig. 2)

The directions in this section apply to Klipsch ProMedia multimedia speaker systems which have the SWS-link sub- woofer output jacks. For earlier ProMedia models, follow the instruc- tions in the previous section.

On the SWS subwoofer’s back panel is an RCA (phono) INPUT jack. Use an RCA audio interconnect cable (one is supplied with the SWS) to connect this input to the RCA SUBWOOFER OUT- PUT (SWS-link) jack on your ProMedia speaker system. This is the only signal connection you need to make unless you are using multiple SWS sub- woofers (see “Multiple Subwoofers”).

TV Set (Fig. 3)

An SWS subwoofer can add a solid bass foundation to the sound from a TV set’s built-in speakers, if the TV has a line-level audio output jack. You will need to make a single connection to the RCA (phono) INPUT jack on the SWS subwoofer’s back panel.

Most TV sets sold today have one (mono) or two (stereo) audio line out- put jacks on their back panels. A mono audio output will be a single RCA (phono) jack, usually with a black inner ring for identification. A stereo audio output will be two RCA jacks, one with a white (or occasionally

black) inner ring, the other with a red inner ring. (RCA jacks with yellow inner rings are for video.) Use an audio interconnect cable with RCA plugs at each end (one is supplied with the SWS) to connect one of these out- put jacks to the RCA INPUT jack on the SWS subwoofer’s back panel.

Even if the TV’s audio output is stereo, use only one of the two jacks; this will not impair performance. If the TV has one set of audio outputs labeled "Fixed" or "Fixed Level" and another labeled "Variable" or "Variable Level," make sure you use one of the variable- level jacks.

Home Audio System (Fig. 4)

You can connect the SWS to any home audio system that has a subwoofer output or preamp outputs for its front left and right channels. Just use an audio interconnect cable with RCA plugs at each end (one is supplied with the SWS) to connect one of these out- put jacks to the RCA INPUT jack on the SWS subwoofer’s back panel.

If the system has both subwoofer and preamp output jacks, use the sub- woofer output. And if the subwoofer output is on an A/V receiver or ampli- fier, make sure you go into its bass- management setup menu and set Subwoofer to "On" or "Yes."
