b. Close the music player/DVD player software if it is running

c. Insert the USB wireless transmitter into a USB port on the computer.

NOTE: If there is interference between the computer case or transmitter can’t

be fully inserted, or if you have other USB devices connected, and the

transmitter will not ﬁt in an adjacent USB port, try a different USB port

or use the included 4" USB extension cable.

NOTE: Does not work with the USB output on gaming systems.

d. The ﬁrst time the USB transmitter is plugged in, the computer should

recognize the new hardware and install the appropriate driver.

e. When plugged in, the LED on USB transmitter should begin to ﬂash.

3. After several seconds the LEDs on both the subwoofer rear panel and USB

transmitter should stop ﬂashing

a. The LEDs should remain on – this indicates that the USB transmitter and

subwoofer are now synchronized and audio from the computer is streaming to

the ProMedia 2.1 Wireless system.

b. The USB wireless transmitter and subwoofer are paired at the factory,

however if after 30 seconds the LEDs are still ﬂashing, press the “SYNC” button

on the rear of the subwoofer and the button (with the chevron) on the USB

transmitter. The system will attempt to sync again.

4. If you are running Windows, open Control Panel, Sounds and Audio Devices,

Audio tab, and check to make sure that “Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 Wireless” is

listed as the default audio playback device.

5. If you are running a Mac OS, click the Apple icon, select System Preferences,

Sound, Output tab, and check to make sure the “Klipsch ProMedia 2.1

Wireless” is selected as the default output device.

6. Start the Music Player/DVD Player software (i.e. iTunes, Windows Media Player,

etc.) and play your music as normal.

NOTE: When removing the USB transmitter the computer should revert back to

the computer’s built-in sound output device (the laptop’s built-in speaker

or headphone output, for example). It may be necessary to close and

restart the music player software for the change to take effect. Likewise

when plugging in the USB transmitter, the Klipsch ProMedia 2.1 Wireless

speakers should become the default output device, but the music player

software may need to be restarted.

This is not a problem with the Klipsch system; it is a limitation of the computer’s

software and operating system.

If after restarting the music player/DVD player software the music does not play

through the ProMedia 2.1 Wireless system, check to make sure the LED indica-

tors are on but not blinking, and that the operating system, as described above in

#4 and #5 has the Klipsch speakers selected as the active audio output device.

Also check that the computer’s volume control is not muted.

SOFTWARE AND HARDWARE GAIN CONTROLS

Software volume controls in Microsoft Windows

1. Click the Start button on your taskbar, then "All Programs"

2. Choose Accessories

3. Windows 95: Choose Multimedia

Windows 98/2000/XP/Vista: Choose Entertainment

4. Click on the Volume Control

5. Adjust the Wave Volume Elevator Button to approximately 70%

Alternatively, if your computer is not within arms reach of the speakers, you

may desire to set the volume setting higher on the Control Pod and use the

computer’s volume control to adjust the sound level. An initial setting of the

main volume of 11 to 12 o’clock is recommended. Adjustments may be needed

for best sound quality.

Volume Control Programs

Some soundcard and/or PC manufacturers may have software that must be

adjusted separately from the Windows volume control. Consult applicable

manual for speciﬁc hardware documentation.

Subwoofer Level

For CD or DVD output, the optimum position will be indicated by the mark at 10

o’clock on the sub level control. Optimum sub levels and user preference may

vary from source to source.

CONTROL POD FEATURES

Headphones: The 1/8” stereo headphone output jack, located on the

right-hand side of the control pod, turns off the two satellite speakers and the

subwoofer output. The main volume control will adjust the headphone output.

MP3/Aux: The MP3/Auxiliary input jack is used with portable audio players. This

signal will be mixed with the main source. The input has a +6dB input sensitivity

to help compensate for the lower output voltage of some portable players. If

using a computer output on the Aux Input you may need to compensate for

the additional gain by lowering the computer’s volume level to approximately

50%. To obtain the proper balance with the main signal, the level adjustments

in the computer software and in the portable player will need to be adjusted. An

example would be listening to an MP3 player while surﬁng the net and hearing

associated sounds from various websites. The mixed sound may not be desirable,

and you will ultimately determine how you use this feature.

NOTE: During playback of MP3s, overall sound quality may be perceptibly

degraded compared to other audio sources such as CD. This is caused by the

encoding method and quality of the MP3 ﬁle. It is recommended that MP3 ﬁles

be encoded at a minimum 128 bit rate.
