Turn on your audio source.
-
Turn on your speaker(s) by pressing the POWER SWITCH. The POWER LED will light up.
-
While playing your audio source, adjust the LEVEL knob to the desired volume level. If the LIMIT LED flashes continuously, turn the LEVEL knob back down until the LIMIT LED only lights occasionally.
