TIPS

Q.When connected to my computer sound card, should I use the Windows volume control to adjust the volume of my speakers?
A.No. Adjust the Windows controls to about center as a starting point and then use the speaker controller to adjust volume control. If the volume is turned too high on the sound card, it can distort the sound.
Q.One, and sometimes both of my speakers do not work.
A.Check the input cable from speaker to the audio source and make sure that it is connected to the
Q.My speakers give off a crackling sound (or static, or other noise). What could be wrong?
A.Check all cables and make sure that they are connected to
Setting this level too high can cause sound distortion. If this does not stop the noise, unplug the cable from the audio source and use an alternate source (e.g., Walkman, Discman or FM radio) by plugging the stereo cable into the headphone jack. If the noise goes away, you may have a problem with your audio source.
Q.What can cause radio feedback?
A. If you are living near a radio tower you could have interference caused by radio frequency. Try moving your speakers to see if the interference goes away; if not, you may be able to purchase a stereo cable from your local retailer that has a higher percentage of shielding.
Q.Can I hook my speakers to my TV or Stereo?
A.Yes, as long as your TV or Stereo has an unamplified source which is
inch stereo connector at the other end (these may be purchased at most local electronics stores).
Q.I have very little bass coming from my Subwoofer. How do I increase the bass output?
A.Adjust the BASS control through your audio sound source (computer sound card control, CD player control, etc.). Check to make sure that all of your cables are hooked up correctly and are making a good connection.
Q.I have a low hum coming from my Subwoofer. Is this normal?
A.Yes. The AC in your house is at 60 cycles per second, which is within the audio frequency of your subwoofer. Some low hum is natural and can be detected when your speaker system is powered on without source audio playing, or when volume is set at an extremely low level.
Q.I have a loud hum coming from my Subwoofer. What should I do?
A.Move the power cord from the power surge protector (if applicable) and plug directly into an AC wall outlet. Move your cables and check to see that they are making a good connection. If you disconnect your stereo cable from the audio source and the loud hum goes away, then you may need to adjust the volume control in your audio source as you may be overdriving the volume settings on your speaker system. If you are using your 2100 speakers with your computer system, just click on the speaker icon located next to the digital clock to the lower right of your Windows 9X or 2000 screen and adjust the volume.
Q.When I put my Subwoofer on my desk my monitor distorts. Why?
A.The Subwoofer is not magnetically shielded, and this can cause distortion if it is less than 3 feet from your monitor.
Q.Where should the volume control be set on my Subwoofer?
A.Start with it in the center position then adjust to your preference.
Q.The DIN connector from the controller has multiple pins on one end, and when trying to attach this cable I noticed that some of the pins are bent, so I am not able to insert the cable into Subwoofer. What should I do?
A.Try to gently straighten the pins with tweezers or very small pliers. If this does not work, then contact the Altec Lansing Consumer Support Department for further instructions.
