The subwoofer requires an AC power connection (do not plug it until setup
is completed). All five satellite speakers and the display module connect to
the subwoofer, which provides the power for all channels. Set up the
speakers as follows:
1. Place the satellite speakers around the area where you will be sitting
(See Diagram 1). Because of the exclusive OMNIPOLAR™ speaker
technology found in the satellite speakers, you have a greater amount of
flexibility in speaker placement. Please use the following guidelines only
as a reference.
2. The center speaker should be directly above or below your TV or
monitor (the satellites are magnetically shielded to prevent picture
interference). Place the left and right front speakers to either side and
equidistant from the screen. Place the surround (rear) speakers to the
left and right and slightly behind the seating area and facing in toward it.
If possible, all five satellites should be about the same distance from the
seating area.
3. The subwoofer can go virtually anywhere that is convenient, but we
recommend placing it in the front soundstage of your system and, if
possible, against a wall or in a corner.
4. Using the five supplied speaker cables, connect the outputs on the back
of the subwoofer to the matching satellites. WARNING: DO NOT TO
PLUG THESE CABLES INTO THE COAX IN or ANALOG IN
CONNECTIONS.
5. Using the supplied multi-pin DIN cable, connect the DIN output on the
back of the system control module to the DIN input on the back of the
subwoofer.
Balancing the SpeakersOnce the speakers are connected to the rest of the system it is time to
calibrate the speakers for optimal Surround Sound. You can use your ears
to balance the volume levels of all of the speakers for your room and
listening position. When all of the speakers are set at the same volume
level, your system will create a more realistic, spacious surround sound
environment.
You will be using the remote control for this procedure:
1. Make sure the system is plugged into the wall outlet and the power
switch on the back of the subwoofer is in the 'ON' position.
2. Verify that the IR Receiver box is illuminated. (If not, hit the ‘PWR’
button on the remote control.)
3. Sit in the position that you will be playing games or watching movies
and eliminate as many external noises as possible
4. Press the ‘TEST’ button on the remote control to begin the test tone
function. You should hear a 'static' noise travel around the room.
5. Using the Left Front Speaker as a reference, use the 'LEVEL +/-’
buttons on the remote control to calibrate all of the other speakers in
the system to the same volume.
6. Hit the ‘TEST’ button to exit the speaker balancing
Speaker level adjustment without TEST TONE:
Channel level adjustments for Center, Rear and Subwoofer are available at
any time by pressing the 'CTR', 'SURR' or ‘SUB’ Buttons on the remote
control.

matching output on the source component. The optical digital input requires
a Toslink fiber-optic cable. The coaxial digital input requires a coaxial cable
with RCA plugs on each end. To ensure reliable operation, use a cable
labeled for video or digital audio connections. The stereo analog input
requires a pair of ordinary shielded audio cables with RCA plugs on each
end. If you are connecting the analog inputs to a device that has a minijack
output, use the supplied miniplug-to-RCA adaptor.

satellite speakers to give very broad, even coverage. All five satellites and the subwoofer are
active.
Dolby Pro-Logic II Mode
Available for analog and stereo digital signals. Pressing the PLII button will enable Dolby Pro-Logic
II Mode. This mode provides accurate decoding of Dolby Surround encoded signals and provides
natural, realistic five-channel enhancement of stereo signals. All five satellites and the subwoofer
are active. Dolby Pro-Logic II has two sub-modes:� Movie (Green LED) - Select for sources that have been encoded in Dolby Surround and Dolby
Pro Logic II. This includes many games, TV programs, and movies on video.� Music (Red LED) - This mode is especially appropriate for stereo music, to which it adds a
very appealing sense of spaciousness and depth.
Headphone ModeDuring the headphone mode, the Xbox 5.1 will mute the speakers and output the signal to your
headphones.
Dynamic Compression Mode
Dynamic compression reduces the level difference between loud and soft sounds. This can be
useful when you are having trouble hearing dialogue clearly or when you want to minimize
disturbance of others by very loud sounds. (Compatible with Dolby Digital Encoded DVD's only)
Test Tone Mode
When the Test Tone Mode is on, the Xbox 5.1 will generate pink noise on each speaker in a
sequential manner. You can use this feature to verify the speakers' connections and their
