Installation Sequence Inspecting
For Damage
Examine each speaker unit carefully
for signs of shipping damage. If there
is any damage, do not install the
system.
If there is any problem, or if
anything is missing, call the store
where the system was purchased
or refer to the “Technical Support”
section on pages 12-13.
Save the carton and its inserts in
case you need to transport your
FPS2000 Digital system later.
1. Read through the instructions
before installing the speakers.
The instructions assume you have
a 4-channel sound card–one that
supports DirectSound
® 3D and
has separate front and rear stereo
minijack outputs. If your sound
card has a single stereo minijack
line output, please read the note
under “Audio Signal
Connections” on page 7.
2. Place the satellites and the sub-
woofer at appropriate sites near
your computer. Attach the stands,
if necessary.
3. To help you identify each
satellite’s channel, apply the
appropriate preprinted label to
the rear of each satellite.
4. Connect the four satellites to the
back of the subwoofer enclosure.
Leave all the wires accessible.
5. Connect your sound card
outputs to the subwoofer.
The four small satellite speakers of the
FPS2000 Digital are magnetically
shielded. They can be placed next to a
computer monitor. The subwoofer/
amplifier is not shielded and should
be placed at least 18 inches away from
a computer monitor.
The subwoofer is designed to sit
on the floor beneath a desk, and
sounds best in this position. The
satellites used for the front left and
right channels should flank the
computer monitor. The satellites
used for the rear left and right
channels can be placed on the
desktop, on floor stands, or
attached to other sites (using screws)
.
