Placing Speakers
Subwoofer
All stereo-encoded information is heard through the satellite speakers. The
subwoofer contains no stereo imaging, and its sound is non-directional. As a
result, the subwoofer doesn't have to be placed in any particular relationship
to the satellites. However, placing the subwoofer on the floor close to a wall
or room corner provides better bass efficiency and optimum sound.
Warning: The subwoofer is not magnetically shielded. As such, it SHOULD
be placed at least 2 feet (0.6m) from TVs, computer monitors, computer
hard drives or any other magnetic media (e.g. floppy disks, Zip disks,
computer or audio tapes, etc.).
Satellite Speakers
Arrange the satellite speakers to suit your listening tastes — from right next
to the monitor to as far apart as the speaker cords allow.
For optimum sound, satellite speakers should be placed in a left/right
configuration, preferably apart and at equal distance from the center of the
listening area. This will offer the best stereo imaging and provide the most
satisfying results.
Note: The satellite speakers ARE magnetically shielded and can be placed
close to video displays such as TVs and computer monitors without
distorting the image.
Making Connections
Warning: Do not insert the speaker system's power plug into a wall outlet
until all connections are made. Also, turn off audio source (i.e., your PC,
MP3 player, Sony PlayStation, etc.) before connecting the outputs to the
speaker system's inputs.
To ensure first-time operation as expected, please carefully follow the
connection sequences described below in the order indicated.
Speaker System
The satellites are connected together. To set-up the speaker system, insert
the DIN connector (hardwired into the right satellite) into the input marked
RIGHT SPEAKER on the rear of the subwoofer.
Notice that the DIN plug has an arrow. For easy insertion of the DIN
connector, the arrow on the connector must face up.
Inputs
Various connection schemes between your audio source and the speaker
system are available. Determine if you'll be setting up the speaker system
for PC audio/PC gaming, DVD playback, console gaming or with portable
audio devices (such as MP3 or portable CD players), then skip to the
appropriate section.
PC Audio/PC Gaming/DVD Playback
All PC sound cards have audio outputs. Typically, the outputs will be marked
as "front output" and "rear output." In some cases, slightly different
terminology may be used. The sound card's documentation should help you
determine which outputs to use with your speaker system.
Connect the lime green 3.5mm stereo cable (hardwired into the right
satellite) to the lime green input labeled "FRONT" on your sound card.
Console Gaming
(Requires the Console Gaming Y-Adapter, which is not included but can be
purchased on our Web site at www.alteclansing.com)
Most console game systems feature dual-RCA outputs. To connect your
speakers, follow the steps below:
1. Make sure the power to your console gaming system is turned off.
2. The Console Gaming Y-Adapter has a lime green 3.5 mm stereo jack on
one end and two RCA jacks on the other — one red and one white.
3. Connect the red and white RCA cable that came with your console gaming
system to the matching red and white RCA jacks on the Console Gaming
Y-Adapter.
4. Connect the lime green 3.5mm stereo cable (hardwired into the right
satellite) to the lime green input on the Console Gaming Y-Adapter.
Portable Audio Devices (MP3, Portable CD Players, etc.)
Connect the lime green 3.5mm stereo cable (hardwired into the right
satellite) to the headphone jack on your portable audio device.
POWERING ON
1. After all other connections are made, plug the AC power cord (on the
back of subwoofer) into a wall outlet. The speaker system is now ready
to operate.
2. Turn on the audio source.
3. Turn on the speaker system by turning the VOLUME knob on the right
satellite until you hear a click sound. An LED will light on the front of the
right satellite when the power is ON.
Note: To avoid hearing a popping sound when you turn on your Altec
Lansing speaker system, always turn on your audio source first.
Volume
The VOLUME knob on the right satellite controls the master volume. Turn
the knob clockwise to increase the volume and counterclockwise to
decrease the volume.
Subwoofer Volume
The SUB LEVEL knob on the subwoofer controls the volume of the
subwoofer. Turn the knob clockwise to increase the subwoofer volume
and counterclockwise to decrease the subwoofer volume.
SFX Technology™
Sound Field Xpander™ technology allows your speaker system to deliver a
wider stereo image for bigger sound at the touch of a button. Press the
SFX button on the right satellite to turn it on. Press it again to turn it off.
Note: This feature does not work when using headphones.
Headphones
To use headphones with the system, plug them into the labeled
on the right satellite. When headphones are connected, the speaker system
is muted.
