Placing Speakers
WARNING: The subwoofer is NOT magnetically shielded, so it must be
kept at least 2 feet (0.6m) from PC monitors, TV sets, computer hard
drives, or any other magnetic media (floppy discs, computer or audio
tapes, etc.)
The subwoofer is non-directional, so it doesn't need to be placed in
any particular location. Putting it on the floor close to a wall or in a
corner will maximize bass efficiency and be sure to provide it with
proper ventilation.
Arrange the satellite speakers to suit your listening tastes. The speakers
are magnetically shielded, and can be placed close to a PC monitor or
TV set without distorting the image.
Making Connections
WARNING: Do not insert the system's power plug into an AC outlet
until all other connections are made. And turn off audio sources before
connecting them to the VS4121's inputs.
To ensure first-time operation as expected, please carefully follow the

DIN connector) to the orange input on the back of the subwoofer,
