to set up so the first thing I'm going to show you is where to plug everything in to the back like I said pretty self-explanatory so you take the included cables which are proprietary cables because we are using dual amped satellite speakers you plug them into the color coordinated spots on the back of the subwoofer so I got another one over here I'm going to plug that in just like that and that's it we have connected the speakers so contrary to what you might think these are not for the speakers that is what I originally thought too if that's what you thought okay then we're going to take our audio cable and we are going to this is also included take it from the back of our computer and plug it into here now you can actually plug in a couple more audio sources including one here uh that's line in so anything that uses uh these coax seal stereo connectors you can plug in and then we will also need to plug in our color remote so that right there is going to be tangled up with something else and then I will find it and plug it in right like that and then there's also another input an auxiliary 2 input built into to the remote up here so I'll show you guys that right there there's your auxiliary and then if you want to bypass the whole speaker setup and you want to plug in your headphones there's a jack for that there as well last thing is to get a standard PC power cord and plug that into the back of the subw warer just like that and now you are officially on well when you hit the power switch I guess you're on there you go so you're going to need to select which input you want to use the menu is accessed with this button right here so you can go ahead and access the menu so the input that we're using right now is auxiliary 1 although you can change it to whatever you want it to be there's also a couple other things that you can set up in here you can set up which EQ you want to use so there's classic pop Jazz mod x which is for movies action drama FPS action Action gaming headphones which compensates for lousy gaming headphones and then reference and then there's also a setup menu ooh so you can change the backlight you can change the color scheme to night mode which looks like that okay you can go back to the main menu and okay so these are uh yeah what you can program it to uh different listening experience kinds of sounds karaoke is a kind of a neat sounding one so you can play whatever songs you have and it'll try and take out the uh The Voice late night is also pretty good it redirects most of what would normally go to the subwoofer to your satellite so that you won't disturb your neighbors or roommate or whoever else happens to have The Misfortune of living near you if you have a rocking speaker setup like this so I'm going to put it back to none and I think that's pretty much it oh you know what there's actually a little bit more functionality in here so I'm just going to whoops it's hard to do this upside down believe it or not so here you can adjust the volume and with this one you can adjust the subwoofer so you can adjust the subwoofer level and the volume with those two buttons you adjust your menu here and then you can power the whole thing down just like that so that is it that is the setup guide but wait there's more that I forgot so you can also use these little stands if you have a desk that is positioned kind of under you like say for example I was sitting at my desk and I'm about sort of this tall like let's say I'm kind of like a tall guy right and so my speakers are basically blasting music at my chest and stomach so I can go ahead and I can take these little stands and I can put them under my speakers they are included and then I can aim them more at my head because that's how you're going to get the best stereo listening experience is by aiming the satellites at your ears which are the auditory receptacles of your face so thank you for checking out this setup guide on the
