[. . . ] · If you have a portable computer; connect the green connector from the subwoofer into the headphone jack on the computer. Step 2 Plug the orange connector from the right/control satellite into the orange jack on the subwoofer. Step 3 Plug the brown connector from the left satellite into the brown jack on the subwoofer. Step 6 Turn on the speaker set and adjust the volume accordingly. Placement of speakers The speakers are magnetically shielded and can be placed close to a computer monitor without distorting the image. For optimal stereo imaging, separate the speakers from each other by a distance equal to your distance from the speakers. The subwoofer's sound is non-directional; therefore, it does not have to be placed in any particular relationship to the satellites. The subwoofer is magnetically shielded and can be placed on the desktop, if desired. If the subwoofer is placed too close to a computer monitor it can cause vibration on the monitor screen. Document Number: 950-0045-001 Revision: A Harman Multimedia Confidential Description: MANUAL, CREATURE, ENGLISH Page 3 of 6 Using the speaker system On/Off Switch An on/off switch is located on the rear of the subwoofer. There is a green LED located on bottom of each of the two satellite speakers. There is also a green LED located on the bottom-back of the subwoofer. All three LEDs should illuminate when the system is connected correctly and receiving power. Turn the speaker off if it will not be used for a long period. Volume Control The volume control can be found on the front of the control/right satellite speaker. Touching the right + button on the front of this speaker will turn up the volume setting in increments of 2. 0 dB per step. If the button is continuously touched, after 0. 5 seconds the volume level will constantly increase at a rate of 5 dB per second. Touching the left - button on the front of the right speaker will turn down the volume setting in increments of 2. 0 dB per step. If the button is continuously touched, after 0. 5 seconds the volume level will constantly decrease at a rate of 5 dB per second until the system is muted. The JBL CREATURE will retain the volume setting when it is turned off so that when the speaker system is turned back on, it will restore the last volume setting. Muting Touching the left and right buttons simultaneously on the front of the right speaker will mute the audio. Power will remain on (both speakers' LED's remain illuminated). When muted, touching either the left button or the right button, or both buttons simultaneously will restore volume to the level prior to the activation of the mute function.
