Using The Volume Control
The Volume Control has a Front/
Rear Balance Control, a Master
Level Control (see diagram M), and
an On/Off power switch.
Use the Master Level Control
whenever you wish to adjust the
speaker output level.
Adjust the Front/Rear Balance
Control to achieve satisfactory
output from all four speakers. It
should not be necessary to adjust
the control more than once while
playing any single game. Different
games may benefit from different
Front/Rear Balance Control
settings.
Adjusting Output Level
In most instances, the FPS2000
Digital Master Level Control will be
the most convenient way to adjust
the overall playback level. It
responds instantly and doesn’t
require you to pause games or
programs. But there are other output
level controls present
in software to consider. Versions of
Microsoft® Windows® and most
other operating systems offer an on-
screen sound level Control, while
most game programs provide yet
another one. For the FPS2000
Digital Master Level Control to
perform at its best, these software
level controls should be set to an
‘optimum’ position and then left
alone.
Set any software volume controls to
approximately 75% of their
maximum output level. This should
allow the FPS2000 Digital Master
Level Control to achieve the highest
output level desired when set to its
loudest setting.
If the FPS2000 Digital’s maximum
output is still not sufficient at the
extreme setting of its Volume
Control, try increasing one, and only
one, of the software volume controls
to increase overall output. If you find
the optimum output level of the
FPS2000 Digital system occurs at
too low a setting of its Volume
Control, reduce the setting of one
software volume control (preferably
the operating system’s output level
control) to achieve greater control
range.
Note: Some software volume
controls may introduce distortion
when set to their maximum level.
Experiment to achieve the cleanest
sound.
