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.
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 soundcard. Recheck your soundcard
installation and setup procedure. Consult the sound
card’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 left speaker wire
with the white stripe is connected to the (+) speaker
terminal on the subwoofer.
