Placing Speakers
Satellite Speakers
Arrange the satellite speakers to suit your listening tastes — from right
next to the laptop computer to as far apart as the speaker cords allow.
For optimum sound, satellite speakers should be placed in a left/right
configuration, preferably apart and at equal distance from the center of
the listening area. This will offer the best stereo imaging and provide the
most satisfying results.
Note: The satellite speakers ARE magnetically shielded and can be placed
close to video displays such as TVs and computer monitors without
distorting the image.
Making Connections
Turn off audio source (i.e., your laptop, PC, MP3 player, Sony PlayStation,
etc.) before connecting it to the speaker system.
To ensure first-time operation as expected, please carefully follow the
connection sequences described below in the order indicated.
Speaker System
To set-up the speaker system:
Locate the stand cable and connect one end to the left satellite speaker
and the other end to the right speaker.
Inputs
Various connection schemes between your audio source and the speaker
system are available. Determine if you'll be setting up the speaker system
for laptop computer or PC, portable audio device, or console gaming, then
skip to the appropriate section.
Laptop Computer or PC
• Locate the USB cable and connect the USB Mini B connector to the back of
the right satellite speaker, and the USB A connector to the USB port on the
PC computer, Mac computer, or USB hub. The USB connection will provide
both the power and the audio signal to the speaker system.
Installation instructions vary depending on your computer's operating
system. Determine which operating system is installed on your computer,
then skip to the appropriate section. Once the installation is completed you
will be able to control the system using the computer operating system's
audio controls or the XT1's controls on the right speaker.
Note: Your operating system's installation CD may be required to complete
the installation.
Mac OSX:
• XT1 installation will start automatically once USB cable connections
are made.
Windows XP:
• XT1 installation will start automatically once USB cable connections
are made.
Windows 98SE:
• Follow the on screen prompts to complete the installation.
• Note: When using Windows 98SE you will need to use software which
supports "Digital Audio Extraction" such as Microsoft Windows Media
Player 7 or higher. Your CD Drive will also need to support "Digital
Audio Extraction." Otherwise you will not be able to hear CD audio.
Windows 2000/Windows Millennium Edition (ME):
1. Start the "Device Manager" (consult your operating system's online
help for information on accessing "Device Manager").
2. Click the "+" sign to the left of the "DVD/CD-ROM drive(s)" item in
the list.
3. Right-click on the "DVD/CD-ROM drive(s)" device for which you wish
to enable the "Digital Audio Extraction" feature, and select the
"Properties" menu item.
4. Select the "Properties" tab from the "Properties" sheet.
5. Check the "Enable digital CD audio for this CD-ROM device" box. If the
checkbox is disabled, your drive does not support this feature and you
will not be able to listen to CD Audio with the XT1.
Note: You may need to restart you computer for this change to take effect.
Portable Audio Device (MP3, Portable CD Players,
Portable DVD Players, etc.)
Note: As this speaker system is USB powered, it must be connected to a
laptop computer or PC, even when it is connected to an audio source via
the auxiliary input.

the right satellite speaker, and the USB A connector to the USB port on the
PC computer, Mac computer, or USB hub. The USB connection will provide

(AUX) on the side of the right satellite speaker, and the other end to the
headphone jack on your portable audio device.
Console Gaming
