• Heed all warnings.
• Follow all instructions.
• Unplug the speakers from the computer and from the electrical outlet before cleaning them with a dry cloth.
• Install in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
• Place the speakers in a stable location so they will not fall causing damage to the speakers or bodily harm.
• Do not use the speakers near water, and do not immerse them in any liquid or pour any liquid on them.

• Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
• For added protection during lightning storms, unplug the speakers from the electrical outlet and turn off the computer.
• Unplug this apparatus when unused for long periods of time.
• Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as when the power-supply cord or plug has been damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
• Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
• The speakers should be disconnected from the mains by placing the power/standby switch in the standby position and unplugging the power cord of the speakers from the AC mains receptacle.
• The socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be readily accessible.
• Do not place any form of open flame source, such as lighted candles, on the apparatus.

Setting up your Logitech^® X-530 speakers

For your safety, set up the system before plugging it into a power source.

1. Before attaching the cables to the subwoofer, position the two front satellite speakers on either side of your computer monitor about the same distance from each other as from you. Angle them to face you. The right front speaker is the control center for your system, so you will want to place it within easy reach. Place the rear left and right satellite speakers behind you and about the same distance apart as the front speakers. Position the front center channel speaker on top of your monitor or on your desk in between your monitor and keyboard. Depending on where you place your speakers, adjust the stand to direct the sound toward you.
   For best sound quality, place the subwoofer on the floor beneath your desk. Be sure to maintain at least 6 inches of spacing around the subwoofer to allow for adequate ventilation.
2. Insert the colored plug from each satellite speaker into the corresponding colored jacks on the back of the subwoofer. Connect the d-sub plug from the front right speaker to the subwoofer as shown on the previous page. Carefully align the pins before inserting the plug, and screw down the connector.
3. 1. If you have a PC and a:
      • 6, 7 or 8 channel (5.1, 6.1 or 7.1) sound card: Connect all 3 colored plugs from the audio input cable to the colorcoded jacks on the sound card.
        1. If jacks on your soundcard are not color coded, plug the audio input as follows:
        • green to front L/R (or #1)
        • black to rear L/R (or #2)
        • orange to center / sub (or #3)
      • 4-channel sound card: Connect the green plug from the audio input cable to your sound card's front jack and the black plug to your sound card's rear jack. Do not use the orange plug.
      • 2-channel sound card: Connect the green plug from the audio input cable to the "line out" jack on your sound card. Do not use the black or orange plugs.
        With a 2-channel sound card you will not hear sound from the rear speakers.
   2. If you have a video game console (PlayStation^®, PlayStation^®2, Xbox™, or GameCube^®):
      • Connect the green, black and orange plugs from the audio input cable to the 3 stereo mini jacks on the video game adapter.
      • Connect the red and white RCA audio cables from your video game console to the RCA audio jacks to the video game adapter.
        
4. Plug the subwoofer's power cord into an electrical outlet.
