Plug the other end into the TO ACCESSORY SPEAKER jack on the powered speaker (see Figure 4 on page 8). Note: If the speaker cable is disconnected while the system is playing, only the powered speaker will continue to play. As a protective feature, neither speaker will play when you reconnect that cable. To restore sound to both speakers, disconnect and reconnect the power pack. How to connect to the sound source You can connect up to two sound sources to MediaMate® speakers ­ your computer and an external CD-ROM, for example. While some CD-ROMs operate through the computer's sound card, others have a direct audio output jack. Before making any connections, consult the owner's manuals for the equipment you will be using, to familiarize yourself with how it connects. Use AUDIO INPUTS A for your computer or computer and CD-ROM combination. Use AUDIO INPUTS B for an external CD-ROM with an audio output jack, or for other components. The sound source connected to B will play through your speakers simultaneously with the sound from your computer. Use the source mixer on the front of the powered speaker to adjust the balance of sound coming from the two sources. If your computer has a stereo mini jack, use the cable with a stereo mini plug. Match the colors on the connectors to the colors on the jacks, red to red and white to white. AM177243_03_V. pdf October 29, 2001 7 Setting Up/Using Your MediaMate® Speakers 1.
