Setting up your Logitech® Z-5300 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 monitor about the same distance from each other as from you. Angle them to face you. Place the
other satellite speakers behind you and about the same distance apart as the front speakers. Position
the center channel speaker on top of your monitor or on your desk in between your monitor and
keyboard. Depending on where you place it, 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 allow a minimum of 6
inches around all sides of subwoofer 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 SoundTouch
as shown on the previous page. Carefully align the pins before inserting the plug, and screw down the
connector.
3. A. Connect the speakers to your PC. Follow the directions below that apply to the type of sound card
on your PC.
• If you have a 2-channel sound card: Select '2' on the source selector switch on the subwoofer.
Connect the green plug from the audio input cable to the "line out" jack on your PC sound card.
With this input setting, your speakers will upmix the stereo signal and create center, rear right and
rear left signals for your speakers.
• If you have a 4-channel sound card: Select '4' on the source selector switch on the subwoofer.
Connect the green plug from the audio input cable to the front jack, and the black plug into the rear
jack on your PC sound card. With this input setting, your speakers will upmix the 4-channel signal and
create a center signal for your speakers.
• If you have a 6-channel sound card: Select '5.1' on the source selector switch on the subwoofer.
Connect the colored jacks on the audio input cable to the jacks on your PC sound card, making sure
to match the colors.
B. If you have a video game console (PlayStation®, PlayStation®2, Xbox™, or GameCube®):
• Select '2' on the source selector switch. Connect the green plug from the audio input cable to the
stereo mini jack on the included 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.
