Solution
Altec Lansing’s superior sound comes from our patented Dynamic EQ technology,
which utilizes custom-built, high-fidelity drivers, state-of-the-art equalization circuitry,
and a harmonious mix of the following specifications:
*Power rating conforms to FTC Amplifier Rule #16 C.F.R. Part 432.
Surround Volume
The SURROUND knob on the control pod controls the volume of the left
and right surround speakers. Adjust this control as necessary to create the
optimum sound. The surround volume control operates in the same manner
even on computers that only have stereo outputs.
Center Volume
The CENTER knob on the control pod controls the volume of the center
speaker. Adjust this knob as necessary to achieve a balanced sound.
Subwoofer Volume
The SUBWOOFER knob on the control pod controls the volume of the
subwoofer. Turn the knob clockwise to increase the subwoofer volume and
counterclockwise to decrease the subwoofer volume.
Headphones
To use headphones with the system, plug them into the labeled jack
on the control pod. When headphones are connected, the speaker system
is muted.
