SETUP 1 5. 1 SOUNDCARDS INCLUDING SOUNDBLASTER LIVE, TURTLE BEACH & PHILLIPS PSC706 SOUNDCARDS (Figures 1a & 1b) For 5. 1 mode. Consult your soundcard's user manual or "Help" function for information about configuring the soundcard software. SETUP 2 OLDER, NON-5. 1 SOUNDCARDS How To Get Bass With No Subwoofer Input: When using an older, non-5. 1 soundcard, you will not be using the AMR130's "Center/Subwoofer In" jack. The "Center/Subwoofer In" jack is a switch; when there is no "Center/Subwoofer In" connection, the AMR130 System functions as a 2. 1 or 4. 1 system (depending upon whether you have a 2 channel or 4 channel soundcard). The amplifier's low pass filter automatically switches from the "Center/Subwoofer In" jack to the "Front In" jack when the system senses no "Center/Subwoofer" input. Be aware that the Center Channel does not function in 2. 1 or 4. 1 systems. (For that, you need to upgrade your soundcard to 5. 1. ) FOR SINGLE-LINE OUT, STEREO/2-CHANNEL SOUNDCARDS (Figure 2) For 2. 1 mode (no Center Channel function). FOR DUAL-LINE OUT, 4-CHANNEL SOUNDCARDS (Figure 3) For 4. 1 mode (no Center Channel function). Consult your soundcard's user manual or "Help" function for information about configuring the soundcard software. CONNECTING YOUR AMR130 SPEAKERS [FIGURES 4 & 5] Four of the five AMR130 Satellite Speakers are hardwired with speaker wire. The front right Satellite is hardwired with a multi-pin DIN connector. Note that one of the wire strands is marked with a red indicator at the end and the other is unmarked. Make certain that you connect the red marked wire to the red (+) terminal on the amplifier and the unmarked strand to the black (-) terminal on the amplifier. VOLUME AND BLENDING CONTROLS " Turn the system ON by pushing the MASTER POWER switch on the Subwoofer. " Turn the ON/OFF-VOLUME knob (on the right "Master" Satellite) clockwise to ON. " Put on a multi-channel source (game or DVD) and set the Satellite's VOLUME knob to a comfortable listening level. " Set the FRONT/REAR BALANCE with the FADER knob (located behind the VOLUME control on the right Satellite speaker). Most 5. 1 Soundcard software will have balance tests and separate channel test tones, much like a 5. 1 home theater receiver. Refer to your soundcard's user manual or "Help" function to use these tests to help set balance and fader levels. For more on setting controls, visit http://www. polkaudio. com/multimedia/faqad/.
