Notes
If the PC volume adjustment (master volume, WAV volume, etc.) is low, the volume level may be insufficient. If so, turn up the sound of
the PC. For details on volume adjustment on your PC, refer to its operating instructions.
Make sure the connection of the stereo mini plug and the jack of the source device is made properly.
Make sure the left speaker is properly connected to the right speaker and subwoofer. If you connect incorrectly, low tone may not be
produced by the subwoofer, or the sound of the right speaker may be distorted. Discontinue use, as malfunction may result.
Be sure to lower the volume of the source device (PC, TV, etc.) and turn off the system when removing the audio cable from the source
device. If you remove the audio cable while the source device (PC, TV, etc.) is working, the equipment or your ears may be damaged by
unexpected loud sound.
To output sound from both the system and TV, configure the audio output setting of the TV. For details on setting, refer to the operating
instructions supplied with the TV.
