Speakers
Some systems come with two high-quality stereo speakers. The speaker
with the controls (power, volume) has the following connectors:
!
line in, for the signal cable from the line out port of the system unit
!
speaker out, for the signal cable that connects to the other speaker
!
AC power, for the cable to the AC adapter.
Connect the cable from the system to the controlling speaker, and from
the controlling speaker to the second speaker. Connect the AC power
cable to the controlling speaker and plug the adapter at the other end into
a grounded wall outlet or a surge suppressor.
Adjust the speaker volume by using the volume control on the front of the
system or on the right speaker. You can also use the Windows
®
sound
software to control the speakers. To launch the Windows sound software,
double click the speaker icon on the taskbar (next to the system clock).
Use the software to control speaker volume or to balance the sound
between the left and right speakers.
