PREPARATION AND OPERATION

Speaker placement

Place the speakers symmetrically to the listener at least one meter away. The subwoofer emits non-directional sound, therefore it can be located in any place of the room where it sounds the best.
Place MSS as far away as possible from monitors and TV sets, to avoid insignificant image distortion.

Installation and operation
MS-302 speaker system can be connected to virtually any audio device: DVD/CD players, PCs, laptops, etc. (see connection diagram in Fig. 4).

Before making any connections, make sure the MSS is off and unplugged. Then connect speakers to the subwoofer AUDIO OUTPUT L/R l jacks using built-in audio cables. Connect the right speaker to the subwoofer AUDIO OUTPUT R and the left speaker — to the AUDIO OUTPUT L (see connection diagram in Fig. 4).
Note. Check the fixation connectors.
To connect the MSS to a PC, МР3/CD player, use 2RCA to mini-jack signal cable (included). Connect the RCA jacks of the signal cable to the L and R jacks of the AUDIO INPUT k, and the mini-jack (Ø 3.5 mm) of the signal cable — to the LINE OUT port of your PC sound card or to the audio output (OUTPUT) of your МР3/CD player, as shown in Fig.
To connect the MSS to a TV set or DVD/CD player, use 2RCA to 2RCA signal cable (not included).
First, connect the RCA jacks of the signal cable to the L and R jacks of AUDIO INPUT k and then connect the RCA jacks to your TV set or DVD/CD player audio output jacks, as shown in Fig. 4.
Connect the subwoofer to the mains outlet with the power cord n.
Turn on the MSS power supply using switch m (ON position) on the subwoofer rear panel.
Turn on the MSS by pressing MODE button b on the front panel or a button on the remote control.
Select the desired signal source by pressing short MODE button b on the control panel or pressing the corresponding button on the remote control.
Adjust the master volume as desired with knob f on the control panel or with the VOL+/- buttons on the remote control.
Use the BASS+/- knob on the rear panel to adjust the subwoofer volume level.
In order to have high-fidelity reception orient the antenna in direction of the radio signal when listening to the radio, first connecting the antenna to FM ANT jack j (see Fig. 4).
When the MSS operation is over, mind switching it off using switch m (OFF position) and unplugging the power cord n from the socket.
