User manual JBL CHAMPAGNE

[. . . ] Do not expose the speaker system to temperature or humidity extremes, direct sunlight, excessive dust, or vibrations. Place the speaker system on a stable, level surface. Do not drop, apply excessive force to the controls, or put heavy objects on top of the speaker. If cleaning is required, use a soft dry cloth. [. . . ] Step 3 Plug the brown connector from the left satellite into the brown jack on the subwoofer. Step 4 Plug the AC plug into the wall outlet. Step 5 Turn on the speaker set and adjust the volume accordingly. Page 3 Page 4 Page 5 Page 6 Page 7 Placement of speakers The speakers are magnetically shielded and can be placed close to a computer monitor without distorting the image. For optimal stereo imaging, separate the speakers from each other by a distance equal to your distance from the speakers. The subwoofer's sound is non-directional; therefore, it does not have to be placed in any particular relationship to the satellites. The subwoofer is magnetically shielded and can be placed on the desktop, if desired. If the subwoofer is placed too close to a computer monitor it can cause vibration on the monitor screen. Page 8 Using the speaker system On/Off Switch An on/off switch is located on the rear of the subwoofer. There is a green LED located on top of each of the two satellite speakers. There is also a green LED located on the top of the subwoofer. All three LEDs should illuminate when the system is connected correctly and receiving power. Turn the speaker off if it will not be used for a long period. Volume Control The volume control can be found on the top of the control/right satellite speaker. Pushing the right + button on the top of this speaker will turn up the volume setting in increments of 2. 0 dB per step. If the button is continuously depressed, after 0. 5 seconds the volume level will constantly increase at a rate of 20 dB per second. Pushing the left - button on the top of the right speaker will turn down the volume setting in increments of 2. 0 dB per step. If the button is continuously depressed, after 0. 5 seconds the volume level will constantly decrease at a rate of 20 dB per second until the system is muted. The harman/kardon HK 695 will retain the volume setting when it is turned off so that when the speaker system is turned back on, it will restore the last volume setting. Muting Pushing the left and right buttons simultaneously on the top of the right speaker will mute the audio. Power will remain on (both speakers' LED's remain illuminated). When muted, pushing either the left button or the right button, or both buttons simultaneously will restore volume to the level prior to the activation of the mute function. Page 9 Controls on the Subwoofer There are three tone and effects level knobs located on the top of the subwoofer. They control Bass, Treble and Surround. Bass - Turn the knob marked Bass clockwise to increase the subwoofer level or counterclockwise to decrease the subwoofer level. Treble ­ Turn the knob marked Treble clockwise to increase the treble level or counterclockwise to decrease the treble level. Surround - Turn the knob marked Surround clockwise to increase the surround level or counterclockwise to decrease the surround level. [. . . ] Check volume of sound card via Windows Volume Control. Check speakers with another audio source. Disconnect speaker input cable (green connector) from sound card and plug into CD ROM headphone jack. If static is eliminated, troubleshoot the soundcard. Speaker is being overdriven by an amplified audio source. Volume level on sound card may be too high. Sound card or audio source material may be cause of problem. Page 12 Are the speaker system mode settings optimized? Set each of the three knobs (treble, Sub level, surround) on top of the subwoofer back the their center/ nominal positions. [. . . ]
