surround sound to material
recorded in stereo – such as CDs,
MP3s and older games. To
enable, press the M3D
™
button.
The green ring around the
button will illuminate when

is active.
If your speakers are connected to
a 2-channel sound card, we
recommend that you use

™
at all times. If you’re
using a 4-channel card, you
can experiment with M3D
™
to find the sound you
prefer.
Bass
Bass response can be affected by the
location of the subwoofer, audio
content, and room environment.
Turn the knob until the bass sounds
good to you.
Fade
To balance the output between the
front and rear speakers, turn the fade
knob.
Volume
Use this knob to control the system
volume.
Headphone Jack
When using standard headphones
with a 3.5mm (1/8") jack, plug
them into the headphone jack.
The speakers will automatically
mute for private listening.
Connect the SoundTouch
™
Control Center:

™
Control Center to the back of the subwoofer,

• 4-channel sound card:
connect the green plug from the audio input cable to the front
channel output and the black plug into the rear channel output on your sound card.

Connect the speakers to the subwoofer:
Once you have positioned the satellite speakers, connect them to the subwoofer as shown
below. Two six-foot lengths and two 15-foot lengths of speaker cable are included. If you
need longer lengths, simply use standard speaker wire.
Do not plug the subwoofer into AC power until all connections have been made.
On the back of each speaker, unscrew the terminal connectors until you see the holes
through the center posts. Insert the cable into the holes and tighten the connectors.
Connect the speaker end of each wire before connecting the subwoofer end.
On the back of the subwoofer, press the levers on the terminals and insert the cable.
Release the levers and the cables will be locked into position. To avoid confusion, connect
the speakers to the subwoofer one at a time.
Important: To avoid shorting out the system, make sure that no exposed wires
touch each other and that no stray wires touch other terminals.
Note:
Be sure to connect
the cables from the red
and black terminals on the
speakers to the correspon-
ding red and black termi-
nals on the subwoofer.
Connect the wires with the
WHITE STRIPE
to the
RED
terminals, and the other
wires to the black. When
properly connected, the
speakers will operate “in
phase.” If not connected
properly, the system will
operate “out of phase.”
While this won’t damage
the system, the sound will
be less clear and the bass
will be diminished.
