To begin using your Companion® 3 speaker system (Figure 8):

1.Be sure your computer or other sound source is turned on.

2.If you have not yet done so, also turn on the power switch on the rear of the Acousti- mass® module.

If the LED on the control pod is yellow, touch the top of the control pod to active the system. The light then turns green.

Controlling the volume

To adjust the sound level using your speaker system controls:

For volume – Rotate the outer band on the control pod clockwise to increase or counter- clockwise to decrease the volume (Figure 8).

For mute – Gently press the mute/standby touch control on the pod. To unmute, press again.

The control pod LED light turns yellow when the system is muted (or in standby mode), and green when it is active.

To use the sound source volume control instead of the control pod:

Rotate the outer band on the control pod clockwise until it approaches maximum volume.

Use the volume control on your computer or other sound source to adjust the level as you listen.

Note: Setting a source volume control to the highest level may activate the speaker system’s internal protection circuity and reduce speaker volume.
