To connect the Logitech Z506 Home Theater Speaker System to your computer, follow these steps:

1. Identify the different speakers and cables: The speaker system consists of six speakers - left-front, left-rear, center, right-rear, right-front, and a subwoofer. You will also have various cables, including an audio IN cable (Cable A) and sound-card cables (Cables B).

2. Determine the type of connection: Depending on your computer's audio setup, you can choose between a 5.1 surround sound connection or a stereo connection.

- For a 5.1 surround sound connection: Use both Cable A and Cable B. Your computer's sound card must be 5.1 enabled and have green, black, and orange output jacks (or their equivalent). Connect Cable A to the corresponding jacks on your computer and Cable B to the back of the subwoofer.

- For a stereo connection: Use only Cable A. This is suitable for laptops, MP3 players, and desktop computers without stereo sound cards. Plug one end of Cable A into the line out, speaker, or headphone output jack on your computer, and the other end into the green input jack (3.5 mm) on the back of the subwoofer.

3. Power up the system: Plug the subwoofer power cable into an electrical outlet. Turn on the speaker system and set the volume  xxxx  to the nine o'clock position. Adjust the bass level to the twelve o'clock position.

4. Turn on your computer and launch media: Start your computer and play any media (music, movies, games) to test the speaker system. Adjust the volume as needed.

If you encounter any issues during setup or if the speakers produce little or no sound, refer to the troubleshooting steps provided in the user guide. Additionally, ensure that your computer's audio settings are properly configured and that all cable connections are secure.
