Your packaging may also contain other printed material with special offers for direct purchase of related multimedia products as well as optional MidiLand™ accessories.
Prepare the area where you will be installing your multimedia system.
Following are some tips you might want to consider:
2
Select a location for the satellite speakers which is solid and places them an appropriate distance apart for good stereo imaging
(2-3’ apart if using on a desktop with your multimedia computer, personal stereo or mini-bookshelf audio system; at least 3-4’ apart
if using fairly close to a television set with your set top video game and at least 6’-8” apart if using them in a home theater or
traditional audio setup (i.e., when listening from across the room).
•
Featuring a dual angle elipsoidal design, the satellite speakers may be used in either of two (2) “tilt” angles simply by turning the unit
“upside-down”. The angle can be 15° or 25° to help raise the stereo image and improve focus and clarity. The satellite speakers may
also be wall mounted with optional bracket available separately from your dealer.
•
•
Select a solid location for the subwoofer (generally on the floor) which allows adequate ventilation for the 60W RMS
Integrated Amplifier mounted in the rear of the subwoofer enclosure. To enhance bass performance, it is generally advisable to place
the subwoofer next to a wall or solid piece of furniture with the woofer/grille side pointing away from the wall or furniture. You’ll
probably want to experiment with several different locations once you’ve completed the installation and hookup. Place 4 Rubber
Feet under subwoofer to protect the mounting surface, if necessary.
If you choose to mount the control module internal to a computer, refer to illustration I-1. However, if you choose to mount the
control module externally (i.e. the underside of your desktop, underneath your monitor, on top of your desktop, etc.), we have supplied
self-adhesive mounting strips or 4 Rubber Feet to secure/place the controls wherever it is most convenient.

Locate the 10’ 9-pin to 9-pin interface cable, plug one end of the 9-pin CM-7 interface connector to the subwoofer’s amplifier
located at the rear of the subwoofer unit and the other end to rear of the CM-7 control module. If you have chosen to mount
the control module internal to a computer, than you must locate the 2’ 9-pin to 9-pin ribbon cable and refer to illustration I-1.

Using the supplied speaker cable connect the front left, front right, rear left, rear right and center satellite speakers to the
subwoofer amplifier’s output. The connection terminals are simple plug-in type, needing only to be concerned with connecting
the output to the correspondent speaker and the type of connection. Refer to illustration I-2.
In the package please locate a 1.5’ dual RCA to stereo 3.5 mm stereo jack cable. This cable is intended to connect a
computer’s sound card, a portable CD player, or wherever a source with a 3.5mm jack is required to one of the amplifier’s RCA
inputs. If another type of connector is required, please check with your sound appliance vendor for the adaptor you may need.
Using this 1.5’ cable, simply plug the RCA end into the Audio Cable and connect the RCA plugs into the amplifier’s input.
The red color RCA plug should be connected to the “right” input and the white color RCA to the “left” input. See to the specifica-
tions section for further details. Refer to illustration I-2 to I-6 for your ”SPECIFIC
SOUND SOURCE CONNECTION.”
Power is supplied to the S4 MidiLand™ 7100 via a supplied external Power Transformer. The correct voltage adapter is
supplied for the territory you purchased the unit in. First, make sure to connect the coaxial power plug into the labeled power
receptacle on the rear of the subwoofer. Second, connect the country specific corded plug into an approved and properly function-
ing AC wall outlet. DO NOT use an extension cord or an overly crowded wall plate. Third, make sure the power button is
pushed in on the control module.
