Positioning Your Speakers for Best Performance
Placing the Subwoofer close to a wall or in a corner
reinforces Subwoofer response.
AMR90: Position the four Satellite speakers around your
usual sitting position: one speaker on each side of your com-
puter monitor, and two rear Satellites behind you. The rear
surround speakers come with brackets for wall mounting.
Adjusting and Setting Volume
Amplification for the AMR is in the Subwoofer. Select the
setting at which there is the perfect amount of bass response
for your taste:
Turn the system ON using the Master Power switch
on the Subwoofer.
Turn the on/off, volume knob to ON on the right
Satellite speaker.
Using a music CD, set the subwoofer volume with the
Subwoofer Volume knob.

Adjusting and Setting Volume (continued)
Once this position is set, you can then use the Volume
Control located on the right Satellite to adjust system
volume and turn the system on and off.
Set the front/rear balance with the Fader knob (located
behind the volume control) on the Right Satellite speaker.
Troubleshooting
Weak sound, no sound, bad sound?
Is the Green LED light (located on the right Satellite
speaker) ON? Make sure the speakers are connect-
ed to the AC adapter and the power button is
pressed ON.
Is there output from the soundcard? Connect the
speakers to an alternate audio source, such as the
headphone jack of a CD player or radio. If the speakers
produce sound, the problem is probably with your sound-
card. Recheck your soundcard installation and setup
procedure. Consult the soundcard’s manual.
Check the “mute”and “volume”controls on your
soundcard or media player software and keyboard.
Are the speakers connected properly? Make sure
the plugs are securely connected in the proper location
according to their colorcoding and the diagram on
the front of this manual. Make sure the speaker wires
with the white stripes are connected to the (+) speaker
terminals on the subwoofer.
