The AX360 can connect to any game console that supports a fiber optic or digital coaxial audio port. For example, connecting with an Xbox 360 you will need to have the High Definition cable accessory. This cable connects directly into the back of the Xbox 360 and has a digital Fiber Optic port located on the cable housing. This is the same connection for the original Xbox (See Diagram A). Connecting to a Playstation II, just plug the fiber optic cable directly into the Playstation (See Diagram B).

CONNECTING THE MICROPHONE TO YOUR XBOX 360™ (FOR XBOX LIVE®)

To hear other players during Xbox Live communica- tion, you will need to make changes within the Xbox 360 dashboard. While running an Xbox game, press the Xbox Guide button (the X button is located in the center of your controller) to access your Xbox Live Settings. (Half-page screen with profile information will appear.) Select “Personal Settings” and press the “A” button on your controller. Then select “Voice” from the menu and press “A”. On the Voice screen, select “play through both” for voice output selection. If you have difficulties hearing the voices of other players on XBox Live, you can adjust the voice volume by turning up the “center” channel. If you continue to have issues, you can adjust the in-game sound effects and music levels to a desired volume.

CONNECTING TO YOUR PC OR MAC

*If you use the AX360 blue digital audio controller on a computer and want to use the microphone, additional hardware will be needed to plug the microphone into the standard analog jack of your computer.

**Dolby Digital surround sound will only be played back by the AX360 headset when a “Dolby Digital” signal is received by our audio controller, indicated by a blue light at location bm.
