How to use the volume control

Using Your Companion

2 Speakers

Your computer may have an external volume control as well as
on-screen controls for the volume.
Decide which controls you prefer to use to adjust the volume
while you listen. Then follow the instructions that apply to your
choice.
To use the speaker volume control
On your sound source, set the external volume control or
on-screen control at two-thirds maximum. Then use the control
on the powered speaker to adjust the volume (Figure 5). Turn the
knob right to raise and left to lower the volume.
Volume control
Note: The output of sound sources and sound cards varies, so
you should experiment to find the best setting for your source.
To use your sound source volume control
Set the volume control on the powered speaker to maximum.
Then use the volume control on your sound source or your on-
screen controls to make adjustments.

When to use the headphone jack

To listen in private, plug headphones into the headphone jack
(Figure 5). This mutes the sound coming from the speakers.
Adjust the headphone volume as needed.
CAUTION: Long-term exposure to loud music may cause hear-
ing damage. It is best to avoid extreme volume levels when using
headphones, especially for extended periods.
