TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE

No Sound from Any Speakers? Is there Power to your System?
Ensure that your subwoofer is plugged securely into a working AC wall outlet and that the blue power indicator LED is ON.
Are your Volume Controls adjusted correctly?
Ensure your computer's internal volume settings are set to mid-level, and the Volume of the Controller Satellite (Left) is adjusted correctly.

Is the Mute on your System set to Auto-Protect Mute or to ON?
Mute on is ON when both the + and - Volume buttons are depressed, and OFF when they are both depressed again. Please check the blue status LED on the subwoofer. A non-pulsing effect indicates the Mute is in Off mode.
Are your Cables properly connected?
Check all the connections are secure.
Are you receiving an Audio Signal?
Please try connecting your speakers to an alternate audio source, such as another portable CD player or Discman to determine that your speakers are working.
Sound from only part of your system?
Please ensure the "S" plug connecting the satellites, is firmly inserted into the socket assembly on the subwoofer mounting base. Try substituting the audio connection to another source, e.g. a Discman, portable radio etc. If the system now works, the original source is at fault.
When playing CD from computer, only one Speaker has sound
Mostly this phenomenon tends to occur with a new computer - only one satellite works when playing an audio CD, but all work correctly when running a WAV file or playing a Game. The reason for this is the CD-ROM is not matched with the Soundcard, or one signal channel maybe shorted to a ground wire. Also please refer to the CD-ROM user manual to adjust the jumpers.
Speakers exhibit excessive noise
Edifier speakers are of a very low noise circuit design. Some source equipment may have a poor signal to noise ratio. Therefore, please unplug the input audio cable, and check if the noise is from the CD/DVD player or the Computer Soundcard etc.
Magnetically Shielded Speakers
Edifier system subwoofers and satellite speakers are all of a magnetically shielded design. You can place the speakers near a TV or monitor. However, it is wise to allow a 0.2-1 m distance between the speakers and monitor to avoid possible magnetic field interference.

Listening Tips:

All high quality speaker systems benefit from a running-in period on normal music sources.
TO OPTIMIZE THE SOUND QUALITY FROM YOUR SYSTEM:
Sit in a comfortable position at the computer desktop. Take time to test the listening environment by using music CDs with wide frequency content and spacious left-to-right imaging. The loudspeaker driver used in the subwoofer will change its characteristics subtly over the first two weeks of use as the suspension of the cone will loosen up slightly, producing a trace more warmth to the overall sound texture. Adjust the speaker placement for the most realistic imaging and tonal balance by listening to several different musical selections and game or computer sound effects. For optimum acoustic performance, we recommend that you place your satellite speakers at least 6-8" from rear walls to reduce unwanted reflections that can muddy your sound. Bass frequencies may be enhanced or exaggerated by placing your subwoofer close to a wall or corner. Please feel free to experiment with the system's location to obtain the most pleasing effects. Edifier couples incredible technology with an amplified subwoofer to generate smooth deep bass, crystal clear highs, and enough power to ensure that your personal listening experience allows you to hear what you have been missing!
