Adjusting Output Level
In most instances, the
FourPointSurround FPS1000 Volume
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
®
and
Windows
®
and most other operating
systems offer an on-screen sound
level control, while most game
programs provide yet another one.
For the FourPointSurround FPS1000
Volume 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 FourPointSurround
FPS1000 Volume Control
to achieve the highest output
level desired when set to its loudest
setting.
If the FourPointSurround
FPS1000’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 FourPointSurround
FPS1000 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.
Mounting The Volume Control
2
Press exposed adhesive side
firmly against back of volume
control.
Remove protective paper from one
side to reveal adhesive.
4
Press control firmly against
mounting surface
(desktop, keyboard or monitor).
Remove remaining paper strip.
The enclosed mounting strip is
semipermanent—it holds well but can
be peeled off gently. Be sure that the
mounting surface, such as the
computer monitor or your desktop, is
smooth and clean.
