# Ai40: How to connect your Fluance Ai40 Powered Bookshelf Speakers to a PC or laptop

<iframe frameborder="1" scrolling="auto" allowfullscreen height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/jy6MZAFbnV4?wmode=opaque" width="560"></iframe>

[**How to Connect and Set Up Your Fluance Ai40 Powered Bookshelf Speakers with a PC or Laptop**](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jy6MZAFbnV4)

 Your Ai40 speakers can be connected to any PC or Laptop with an headphone output!

1. Connect the RCA cables included with your Ai40 to the Red and White inputs on the back of the active speaker
2. Insert the 3.5mm connection into the headphone output on your PC or Laptop.
3. Using the remote source button or pressing the volume knob, change the source to RCA, which will be displayed as a Yellow LED.

 Your PC volume will affect the volume output through the Ai40 speakers. If you find the volume is not loud enough, or too loud causing distortion, you may need to adjust your computer’s volume settings.
