The Volume Control - Creative Four Point Surround FPS1000 User Manual

The Volume Control

The FourPointSurround FPS1000
system comes with a separate wired
Volume Control, designed to be
positioned close at hand and affixed
with the semipermanent mounting
strip.
Each plug has either an "F" or an
"R" moulded into it. One pair
of plugs connects to the audio inputs
on the back of the subwoofer (SUB).
The other pair connects to the sound
card line outputs (LINE). Connect
the two pairs of signal plugs before
affixing the Volume Control (see
diagram at right). Connect the "F"
LINE plug to the front stereo line
output minijack of your sound card.
Connect the "R" LINE plug to the
rear or "surround" line output
minijack of your sound card.
Connect the "F" SUB plug to the
"Front" minijack input on the
Subwoofer. Connect the "R" SUB
plug to the Rear minijack input on
the Subwoofer (see diagram H).
At this point you may now turn
the power switch "ON".
If you have a stereo soundcard
(one without a rear stereo minijack
line output), connect the "F" LINE
plug to the stereo line output
minijack of your soundcard (see
12
diagram I). Leave the "R" LINE
plug unconnected. Connect the "F"
SUB plug to the "Front" mini-jack
H
input on the subwoofer. Leave the "R"
LINE plug unconnected.
If you upgrade to a four-channel
I
sound card, connect both "F" and
"R" LINE and SUB plugs to the
soundcard and subwoofer and enjoy
full surround sound.
Note: When only one of the two
stereo inputs on the subwoofer is
used (either "Front" or "Rear"), the
stereo signal will be reproduced by
both the front and rear pairs of
satellites.
