Signal Input Connections The GMX control module has three audio inputs (see Fig. 4A): Toslink optical digital, coaxial digital (orange RCA jack), and stereo analog (red and white RCA jacks). Use these inputs to connect audio sources, such as a game console, DVD player, CD player, computer sound card, or TV set. Whenever possible, use one of the digital inputs, since this will allow Dolby Digital playback. Fig. 4B illustrates a setup in which a game console, DVD player, and TV set are connected to the GMX D-5.1. I m p o rtant Note: Each input demands a part i c u l a r type of cable and a matching output on the sourc e component. The optical digital input re q u i res a To s l i n k f i b e r-optic cable. The coaxial digital input re q u i res a coaxial cable with RCA plugs on each end. To ensure reliable operation, use a cable labeled for video or digital audio connections. The stereo analog input re q u i res a pair of ord i n a ry shielded audio cables with RCA plugs on each end. If you are connecting the analog inputs to a device that has a minijack output, use the supplied miniplug-to-RCA adaptor. Speaker Setup The subwoofer re q u i res an AC power connection (do not plug it in until setup is completed). All five satellite speakers and the control module connect to the sub- w o o f e r, which provides the power for all channels. Set up the speakers as follows: 1) Place the satellite speakers around the area where you will be sitting, more or less as illustrated in Fig. 1. The center speaker should be directly above or below your TV or monitor (the satellites are magnetically shielded to prevent picture interf e rence). Place the left and right front speakers to either side and equidistant f rom the screen. Place the surround (rear) speakers to the left and right and slightly behind the seating are a and facing in toward it. If possible, all five satellites should be about the same distance from the seating a re a . 2) The subwoofer can go virtually anywhere that is convenient, but we recommend placing it in the fro n t soundstage of your system and, if possible, against a wall or in a corn e r. 3) Using the five supplied speaker cables, connect the outputs on the back of the subwoofer to the matching satellites, as shown in Fig. 2. The striped wire should be connected to the red speaker term i n a l . 4) Using the supplied multipin DIN cable, connect the DIN output on the back of the system control module to the DIN input on the back of the subwoofer (see Fig. 2). 5) The satellite speakers attach to their pedestal bases via a ball socket that allows a very wide range of motion. Adjustments are simple as illustrat- ed in Fig. 3. ProMedia® GMX D-5.1 Welcome to the Klipsch ProMedia® GMX D-5.1 speaker system. The GMX D-5.1 is a high-perf o rm- ance powered speaker system consisting of five small, identical satellites and a single subwoofer. It is operat- ed from a compact, easy-to-use control module with built-in Dolby Digital and Dolby Pro Logic II surro u n d decoders. Although designed primarily for use with game consoles, such as the Microsoft Xbox™ a n d Sony PlayStation® 2, the GMX D-5.1 will also deliver excellent sound as a multimedia speaker system for a personal computer or even as the audio portion of a small home theater. I M P O RTANT NOTE: Before You Begin Do not plug in the GMX D-5.1 subwoofers power c o rd until all other wiring is completed, and do not disassemble the system before you have unplugged the subwoofers power cord. Be especially careful not to connect or disconnect any signal cables while power is applied. Failure to observe this caution may result in loud hums, buzzes, or pops that will at the v e ry least be annoying and that in the extreme may damage your speakers.
