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 r tant 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 r es 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 r es 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 r ence). Place the left

and right front speakers to either side and equidistant

f r om 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.

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 r m-

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 R TANT NOTE: Before You Begin

Do not plug in the GMX D-5.1 subwoofer’s power

c o r d until all other wiring is completed, and do not

disassemble the system before you have unplugged

the subwoofer’s 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.
