Other Connection Situations
1) Using the MicroWorks II as a high performance stereo
television sound system.
a) A stereo television with audio signal output typically
has two RCA-type jacks (one red, one white). To
connect the Volume On/Off Control to these jacks,
obtain an audio cable adapter with two RCA plugs
at one end and a 3.5 mm stereo minijack at the
other end. Connect the GREEN miniplug of the
Volume On/Off Control to the adapter's minijack.
Connect the adapter's red and white RCA plugs to
your television’s red and white RCA jacks. (Do not
connect to yellow RCA jacks. These are video out-
puts.)
b) Some stereo televisions offer a choice of fixed or
variable audio output level. Choose the variable out-
put. The fixed output level bypasses the television’s
remote volume control.
c) Turn off your television’s internal speakers. This
control could be located on the front or back
control panels of your television, or it may be an

d) If you connect the MicroWorks II to a television with
variable audio outputs, you can still use your televi-
sion's remote control to adjust overall output. Set
the MicroWorks II Volume On/Off control at the 12
o'clock position. Then verify that the television's
audio output is adequately loud when the televi-
sion's remote control is increased to it's maximum.
Increase or decrease the setting on the MicroWorks
II Volume On/Off Control (if adjustment is neces-
sary), then stow it in an out of the way position.
