Sound Card Settings Most sound cards allow setting the output levels and speaker configurations via software that is accessed from the Windows Control Panel. Please refer to your sound card documentation for instructions on setting up the outputs for 5.1 audio to properly drive the headphone speakers. Also, note that some sound cards may have the bass and center channels reversed, which will cause an apparent decrease in bass response. This can often be corrected with a setting in the sound card control software. You may need to experiment with different settings in both your sound card mixer and the physical volume dials to find your preferred listening levels. When watching DVDs on your PC, the DVD player software should be set to play 5.1 audio in order to hear surround sound. Refer to the DVD software users guide for instructions in how to access this setting. Important Information 1. When turning on the master volume, slowly increase the volume until you find a comfortable listening level. There is a small delay after powering on the amplifier. 2. When wearing the headphones, be sure to properly place the front and rear speaker positions or the surround sound will be improperly reproduced. For proper orientation, the ear cup with the cable and mic jack should be placed over your left ear. 3. Like any speakers, overdriving your headphones may cause damage to both the headphones and your ears. Please listen at moderate volume levels.

It is best to avoid extreme volume levels when using headphones, especially for extended periods of time. Over time, your ears adapt to the volume level, so, a volume level that does not cause discomfort might still damage your hearing. You should use extreme caution or temporarily discontinue use in potentially hazardous situations, such as walking, jogging, driving, or cycling etc. IM PORTANT: DO NOT USE THE HEADPHONES WHEN THE USE OF ELECTRONIC DEVICES IS PROHIBITED.
