Connect the Volume Control to the subwoofer and then to the sound card line outputs. Listen to the system and adjust the Subwoofer Level control for the most pleasing bass output. You may wish to experiment with satellite placement briefly before concealing the connecting wires and making the installation more permanent. The front left and front right satellites should be placed to the sides of the monitor. When placing satellites on the desktop, install the desktop stands. If you wish to save desktop space, use the hook and loop fasteners to attach the satellites to the sides of the computer monitor (see page 11). A panel of eight self-adhesive labels is provided to identify each satellite. To start, apply the small, square "FRONT RIGHT" label to the back of a satellite (see diagram A). Then wrap the remaining, longer "FRONT RIGHT" label around the satellite cable just behind the plug (see diagram B). Insert the satellite's plug into the corresponding output jack on the subwoofer (see Speaker Wiring Diagram). Repeat the process for the remaining three satellites.

Install each stand by inserting it into the "T" shaped socket in the back of each satellite. Make sure to feed the wires through the cut-out in the top of the desktop stands (see diagram C). For desktop placement, apply the five self adhesive feet to the base of the desktop stands. If you wish to install the rear satellites in the floor stands, do not apply the self adhesive feet to the base of their desktop stands (see diagram D). Attaching The Floor Stands The rear satellites (with their desktop stands attached) may be installed in their floor stands. One leg of each floor stand has a full length slot, with short notches opposite the slot at each end. Insert a satellite cable inside one of these legs by feeding it down the length of the full length slot. At each end, feed the cable through the short notches (see Diagram E).
