Help with Setup
The speaker system does not power on?
- Press the power button on the right-front speaker. The LED above the power button should light.
- Check that the cable connection from the right-front speaker to the back of the subwoofer is secure.
- Try plugging the subwoofer into a different AC outlet.
- If you’re using a power strip, check and reset the surge protector if it has been tripped.
One or more speakers produce little or no sound?
- Rotate the volume knob on the right-front speaker to the 12 o’clock position.
- If headphones are plugged into the right-front speaker, unplug them. Sound from the speaker system is muted whenever headphones are plugged in.
- Please check that all speaker connections are properly seated. (Refer to step 3 of the Setup instructions.)
- Check the input audio source connection (refer to step 4 of the Setup instructions):
Sound-card connection (5.1 surround sound): Use both Cables A and B. Your computer’s sound card must be 5.1 enabled and it must have green, black, and orange output jacks, or their equivalent.
Stereo connection: Use Cable A to connect to laptops, MP3 players, and desktop computers without stereo sound cards. For a desktop/laptop, plug the cable into the line out, speaker, or headphone output jack; plug the other cable end into the green input jack (3.5 mm) on the back of the subwoofer.
Game-console connection: Use stereo RCA cables (not included). Plug the RCA cables into the red and white RCA input jacks on the back of the subwoofer.
- If you are using a computer, check volume and balance controls in your computer’s media application and operating system. (For more information, see Checking operating system volume/balance controls.)
- Close your media application {computer/game console), and then restart it.
- Connect the speakers to another audio source (e.g., MP3 player). If they work, your computer’s sound card (or game console) may be the cause of the problem.
Checking operating system volume/balance controls
- Windows® Vista and Windows® 7: Go to Start/Control Panel/Sounds/Playback Devices tab. Select your soundcard as the sound playback device. Verify that the Speaker Icon is not muted.
- Windows 8: From Start Menu, select Desktop tile. From Charms menu, select Settings/Control Panel/Hardware and Sound/Sound/Playback devices tab. Select your soundcard as the sound playback device. Verily that the Speaker Icon is not muted.
- Mac OS® X: Open System Preferences and select Sound/Output tab. Select your soundcard as the sound output device and adjust the Output Volume slider. Verify that the Mute box is not checked.
Checking sound output settings for a PS3 game console
- With the PS3 turned on, use a gamepad controller and the XrossMediaBar (XMB) to specify audio output settings.
- Go to Sound Settings/Audio Output Settings/Audio Input Connector. Choose the picture showing the red and white RCA stereo cables. Leave Sound Settings and XMB.
- Refer to the PS3 game console documentation for more information.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Is it wireless?****
No, it isn’t wireless.
Can you individually adjust the level for each channel (each speaker has a separate volume control)?****
No, a single volume control governs all speakers.
Can I connect to my Xbox One using optical audio?****
Utilize the 5.1 optical decoder. They blend in well with it.
If so, does it have an optical output?****
No. Additionally, there is no optical input. Three 3.5mm inputs, stereo RCA inputs, and a single headphone output are provided.
Does this device have magnetic shielding?****
No, the device isn’t, but if you keep the subwoofer away from metal objects, there shouldn’t be any issues.
How good is Logitech surround sound?****
The Logitech Z906 5.1 is one of the most comprehensive surround sound speaker systems on our list. This is due to the fact that it uses six surround sound speakers in addition to one to deliver its exceptional sound quality.
Can they be mounted on wall?****
No, they don’t have mounting holes.
Will Windows 10 support the system?****
The speaker system is compatible with all versions of Windows.
How do I connect my Logitech z506 5.1 speakers to my PC?****
Black and yellow ports in the subwoofer must be connected after the green cable is connected to the line out (green port), the yellow cable to the mic in (pink port), and the black cable to the line in (blue port). Make that the line-in (side speakers out) and mic-in (center/subwoofer out) are configured.
Does Logitech support Dolby Atmos?****
This eye-catching headset features 40 mm drivers, meticulously balanced high- fidelity audio, and support for Dolby Atmos, Tempest 3D AudioTech, and Windows Sonic for an immersive surround sound experience.
Can you get surround sound through HDMI?****
The multichannel audio formats used in surround sound, including Dolby Digital, DTS, Dolby Digital Plus, and Dolby Atmos, are supported by HDMI. Utilizing a TV and sound system that support HDMI ARC is the simplest way to get surround sound audio.
Why won’t my surround sound connect to my TV?****
Disconnect the cables connecting your TV and audio system, then turn off your TV and audio system. Next, turn on your TV and audio system after making sure the cords are connected securely at both ends.
Can I use both optical and HDMI ARC?****
Even if a TV has both HDMI and optical connections accessible, many of them won’t allow you to connect them both at once. If both cables are plugged in, they will automatically swap to the one that was inserted last.
