English Español Français SETUP AND CONNECTIONS Connecting the speakers to the module The speakers, control pod, and computer all connect directly to the Acoustimass® module. 1. Insert the connector on each speaker cable into the corresponding L or R jack labeled! To Speakers on the rear of the Acoustimass module (Figure 5).

Français Español English SETUP AND CONNECTIONS Connecting the power cord Plugging in and turning on the Acoustimass® module is the final step before using the system. 1. Insert the small connector end of the power cord into the AC INPUT jack on the module. 2. Plug the large connector into an AC power (mains) outlet. 3. Turn the power switch, located on the back of the Acoustimass module, to ON (|). On the control pod, the LED turns yellow to indicate the system is on and is ready for use.
English Español Français USING YOUR SPEAKER SYSTEM Controlling the system To begin using your Companion® 3 speaker system (Figure 8): 1. Be sure your computer or other sound source is turned on. 2.

Français Español English USING YOUR SPEAKER SYSTEM Balancing tone for the sound you like The acoustics of your room affects the sound you hear there. Upholstered furniture, carpets, and drapes absorb sound, which can muffle the treble (high frequencies). Bare floors, walls, and furniture have the opposite effect and can make the treble sound shrill. A bass compensation control on the Acoustimass® module enables you to balance the tones you hear.
English Español Français REFERENCE Cleaning the system Wipe the speakers and module with a dry cloth. • Do not use solvents or chemicals. • Do not allow liquids or objects to enter the rear panel or the front port of the module; the speaker grilles, or any part of the control pod.
