IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
CAUTION ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD
Read these instructions. Keep these instructions. Heed all warnings. Follow all instructions. Unplug the speakers from the computer and from the electrical outlet before cleaning them with a dry cloth. Install in accordance with the manufacturers instructions. Place the speakers in a stable location so they will not fall causing damage to the speakers or bodily harm. Do not use the speakers near water, and do not immerse them in any liquid or pour any liquid on them. Do not block the openings in the speaker cabinets, never push objects into speaker vents or slots because of fire or electric shock hazards, and provide sufficient space around the speakers for proper ventilation. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. The wide blade is provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet. Operate the speakers only from the low level audio line out jack of the computer or of an audio device. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus. No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, should be placed on the apparatus. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer. For added protection during lightning storms, unplug the speakers from the electrical outlet and turn off the computer. Unplug this apparatus when unused for long periods of time. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as when the powersupply cord or plug has been damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Ensure that the equipment is installed near an ac mains socket-outlet and that the socket-outlet is easily accessible. The speakers should be disconnected from the mains by placing the power/standby switch in the off position and unplugging the power cord of the speakers from the AC mains receptacle. WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPARATUS TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.

Setting up your Logitech Z-3 speakers
Important: For your safety, set up the system before plugging it into a power source. 1. Before attaching the cables to the subwoofer, position the two satellite speakers on either side of your computer. Depending on where you place your speakers, adjust them to direct the sound toward you. For best sound quality, place the subwoofer on the floor beneath your desk. Be sure to allow for adequate ventilation around it. Place the remote control within easy reach. 2. Connect the DIN plug from the remote control to the subwoofer as shown on the previous page. Carefully align the pins before inserting the plug. 3. A. If you have a PC: Plug the green audio input cable from the remote control into the speaker output on your PC. B. If you have a video game console (PlayStation, PlayStation2, Xbox, or GameCube): Purchase a game console adapter, available at many consumer electronic stores. Connect the green plug from the audio input cable to the stereo-mini jack on the game console adapter. Connect the red and white RCA audio cables from your video game console to the RCA audio jacks on the game console adapter. 4. Plug the subwoofers power cord into an electrical outlet.

Logitech Z3 2.1
Introduction It seems like every new computer speaker system has to have four to five speakers, Dolby Digital or THX certification and lots of power to even be considered a good system. But what if you dont want a speaker system that takes up every square inch in your room or shakes the house? For some of us, we want a 2.1 system that sounds great and looks good in our offices. This is what we think Logitech was aiming for with the Z3 speaker system. Priced at around $80, the Logitech Z3 speaker system offers exceptional sound and a unique design that looks great in any office or home setting. Features and Design We really have to give Logitech props for introducing a speaker system that looks somewhat different than the norm. Featuring bleached wood styling and die cast metal legs on the satellites and the same wood styling on the subwoofer, Logitech has taken design cues from the home audio realm and integrated them nicely into these computer speakers. The die cast metal legs on the satellites help to give the speakers a nice hefty feel typically associated with the quality audiophiles have come to respect. You can also remove the speaker legs to give you more flexibility with their placement, should you decide to get a little creative. The satellites also feature a brushed metal faceplate that Logitech went out of their way to protect by adding a thick plastic peel-away skin to the finish. You can choose to pull the plastic off to give the speakers a very shiny and appealing look to them, or keep the film on and use the included speaker covers. The overall look of the Z3 system gives a strong impression of 70s contemporary styling with a home audio feel. The subwoofer features the same wood styling found on the satellite speakers and looks smaller than what you would expect from a speaker system of this caliber. But do not be deceived as this subwoofer features an oversized 8-inch driver in a sealed enclosure, which allows you to get a very deep bass in a box smaller than what you would get with a ported enclosure. Neither the satellites nor the subwoofer feature a real wood veneer, but the cover certainly looks the part. The satellites plug directly into the subwoofer and are driven using an AC adapter built into the subwoofer amplifier. Controls for the satellites are located in an in-line control unit that is integrated into the speaker cables. You will find the volume controls, power button and a headphone jack in this control unit. The subwoofers volume control is located on the back of the subwoofer itself and not in the in-line control unit. Logitech includes a very brief instruction manual and an RCA audio/stereo-mini jack cable adapter so you can plug these speakers directly into the back of your gaming console (Xbox, PS2, and Gamecube) providing your game console has this input type. The satellites utilize a single 2-inch aluminum phase plug driver with a small port located above the driver.
The satellites have a power rating of 8.5 watts RMS each with the subwoofer using 23 watts RMS of power for total system power equaling 40 watts RMS or 80 watts of peak power. The signal to noise ratio is >92dB (decibels) which means the system is very efficient considering it only uses 40 watts RMS of total power. Logitech offers a 2-year warranty for the Z3 speaker system. For complete system specs please click on the specs tab located above this review or the specifications link located below this review.
