OPERATION

System modes

There are three system modes. Each system mode is identified by the color of the mode indi-

cator on the control pod (Figure 9):

• Muted (Amber): The system speakers are silenced. You hear no audio from the computer

or any connected source. This mode is automatically selected when you connect head-

phones to the control pod.

• Active (Green): You hear the active sound source from the system speakers. The position

of the volume control ring sets the volume level.

• Standby (Red): The system is in an energy-saving mode. When both the USB connection

from your computer and the input signal of a connected audio source are inactive for sev-

eral minutes, the system mutes the speakers and switches to Standby. The system returns

to the Muted mode when the USB connection becomes active again.

Touch the top center of the control pod to switch between the Muted and Active mode,

except when headphones are connected. Plugging in headphones always puts the system in

Muted Mode until they are removed.

IMPORTANT!

• The Companion

5 multimedia speaker system is designed to perform at its best

without any additional audio effects. Make sure you disable any audio effects

settings and close any effects applications running on your computer.

• Make sure the settings in your software application are correct for 5.1 surround

sound.

Controlling the volume

The volume control ring on the control pod (Figure 9) is the master volume control for any

audio coming from your computer or a device connected to the input jack. Rotate the ring

clockwise to increase the volume or counterclockwise to decrease it.

To set the volume level

To properly set the volume level, you need to adjust both the volume level of the source (your

PC or a connected source) and the Companion 5 system:

1. Set the Companion 5 system volume to minimum.

2. Set the source volume near maximum.

3. Start playing music.

4. Slowly increase the volume on the Companion 5 system control pod until the sound

reaches a comfortable level.

To mute the system

To silence the system, touch the mode switch on the control pod (indicator glows Amber).

Touch it again to unmute (indicator glows Green).

Note:

The system output may be reduced by an internal protection feature if you play music at

full volume for a long period of time.
