Klipsch AUDIO SYSTEM Portable Speaker User Manual


 
Volume Control Programs
Some soundcard and/or PC manufacturers may have software that must be adjusted separately
from the Windows volume control. Consult applicable manual for specific hardware documentation.
Subwoofer Level
For CD or DVD output, the optimum position will be indicated by the mark at 10 o'clock on the sub
level control. Optimum sub levels and user preference may vary from game to game. Usually a
high bass level is preferred, especially at low listening levels. Remember to reset the control set-
tings before playing CDs or films on DVD.
CONTROL POD FEATURES
Headphones: The 1/8" stereo headphone output jack, located on the right-hand side of the
control pod, turns off the two satellite speakers and the subwoofer output. The main volume con-
trol will adjust the headphone output.
MP3/Aux: The MP3/Auxiliary input jack is used with portable audio players.This signal will be
mixed with the main source. The input has a +6dB input sensitivity to help compensate for the
lower output voltage of some portable players. To obtain the proper balance with the main signal,
the level adjustments in the computer software and in the portable player will need to be adjusted.
An example would be listening to an MP3 player while surfing the net and hearing associated
sounds from various websites. The mixed sound may not be desirable, and you will ultimately
determine how you use this feature.
NOTE: During playback of MP3s, overall sound quality may be perceptibly degraded compared to
other audio sources such as CD. This is caused by the encoding method and quality of the MP3
file. It is recommended that MP3 files be encoded at a minimum 128 bit rate.

TROUBLESHOOTING
If no sound, ensure that:
- Power, input, speaker cables and connectors are securely attached
- Software is properly installed and functioning
- Computer sound (control panel) volume is turned up and not muted
- LED glowing
If one or more speakers have little or no sound, ensure that:
- All cables are connected properly
- Connectors are fully "seated" in soundcard and speakers
- Main and subwoofer level controls are properly adjusted on control pod
- Computer software audio settings are adjusted for proper use
- Computer system's sound (control panel) volume is turned up
If the satellites or subwoofer exhibit distortion or buzzing:
- Turn down computer's overall volume (via control panel), and reduce control pod volume
- Turn down subwoofer’s volume, as program signal may be too strong
- Plug the subwoofer’s power cord into a surge protector
If there is noise or hissing and the volume is low even when the main volume is turned up:
- Turn up computer's sound volume (via control panel)
- Turn down main volume on control pod to compensate
- Ensure that software/hardware is properly installed and operating
If there is computer monitor interference:
- Make sure the subwoofer is positioned at least 3 feet (1m) from the computer monitor
- Increase the distance between the satellite speakers and the computer monitor
