Setting up your Logitech X-540 Speakers
®
Important: 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.
Place the wired remote control 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.
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.
3. A. 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 color-coded jacks on the sound card.
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 unless you activate Matrix mode.
B. If you have a video game console:
• Connect the green plug from the audio input cable to the green jack on the video game adapter
cable.
• Connect the red and white RCA audio cables from
your video game console to the RCA audio jacks on
the video game adapter cable.
• Turn on Matrix mode to get surround sound from
your video game console.
4. Plug the subwoofer's power cord into an electrical outlet.
