English Operation Operating the Companion® 3 multimedia speaker system Turning your speaker system on and off 1. Turn on your computer or sound source. 2. Turn the power switch on the back of the Acoustimass® module to ON (I). Note: To conserve energy, your system can be put into standby mode. The mute or standby mode is activated by touching the center portion of the control pod and indicated by the yellow light. Adjusting the sound The acoustics of your listening room affect the sound quality of any speaker system. Upholstered furniture, wall-to-wall carpets, or heavy drapes can muffle the treble (high frequencies). Bare floors and walls and unupholstered furniture reflect the treble and may cause it to sound too shrill. Bass After listening to your speaker system, you may wish to adjust the sound. Use the bass compensation control on the Acoustimass module. Turn the control clockwise to increase, or counterclockwise to decrease bass. You may also adjust the placement of the module to affect bass; simply aim the port of the module away from the wall to decrease bass, or toward the wall to increase bass. Volume Use the volume control on the control pod. Rotate the outer ring clockwise to increase, or counterclockwise to decrease the volume (Figure 7). To mute the system, gently tap the silver touch-sensitive panel on the control pod. Tap again to unmute. The indicator light turns yellow when the system is muted, and green when it is active. Figure 7 Control pod features Standby/Active indicator Touch-sensitive mute/unmute switch Volume control Headphone jack Sound source input Note: Using the volume controls in their maximum position may reduce the speaker system's maximum volume, by causing the internal protection circuity to engage. If you wish to control volume at the sound source instead of from the control pod, set the volume control on the control pod near maximum volume; then make all other adjustments using the volume control on your sound source. For instance, you may be able to control the volume on your computer from its control panel. 11
