6.Preparing the Surround Sound System for Operation
6.1.Unpacking the components
1Remove the components of the surround sound system
•1 bass reflex active subwoofer with power cord
•1 center speaker with integrated receiver
•2 front speakers
•2 rear speakers
carefully from the packaging.
2Then remove the accessories from the packaging
•1 data cable (3 metres) to transmit signals between the center speaker and the subwoofer
•1 speaker cable (3 meters) to connect the center speak- er to the subwoofer
•2 speaker cables (each 4 meters) to connect the front speakers to the subwoofer
•2 cables (each 8 meters) to connect the rear speakers to the subwoofer
•Infrared remote control
•2 batteries
6.2.Preparing the remote control for operation
1 Open the battery compartment on the back of the re-
mote control and remove the cover of the battery.
2Now put in two batteries type AAA/LR 03 (round cells, not included in the scope of supply) into the battery compartment. Take care that the batteries are inserted with the correct polarity.
3Put the cover of the battery compartment back on to the back of the remote control.
Replacing the batteries:
If the surround sound system cannot be operated prop- erly or cannot be operated any longer with the remote control, then the batteries have to be replaced. Always re- place both batteries, in order to be able to use the remote control at full capacity again.
Note:
Do not dispose of used battery in household waste! Throw away used batteries at a waste collection or dis- posal point or there, where you bought the batteries.
If you should want to dispose of the remote control of the surround sound system itself, then you have to re- move the batteries beforehand!
To guarantee that the remote control operates perfectly:
•Always point the remote control at the center speaker
•Ensure that there are no obstacles between the remote control and the center speaker which prevent reception
•Do not move more than 5 meters away from the center speaker when using the remote control. Disturbances could otherwise arise when operating the surround sound system with the remote control.
6.3.Positioning the speakers and the subwoofer
The speakers should be positioned as follows to provide an optimal sound:
•Front right and left speaker on the right and left of the television or your listening position
•Center speaker in the middle between the front left and right speaker
•Rear right and left speaker on the right and left behind your listening position
•Subwoofer: The human ear cannot locate the low tones of the subwoofer. Therefore the installation loca- tion of the subwoofer is optional.
6.4.Connect speakers and subwoofer
Use the three shorter speaker cables to connect
•the center speaker and
•the front right and left speaker to the subwoofer.
Use both the long speaker cables to
•connect the rear right and left speakers to the sub- woofer.
Note:
The four small speakers are identical. You can use any of these speakers as front or rear speaker.
Use the data cable to connect the center speaker to the subwoofer.
1To connect the front and rear speakers insert
•the end of the grey leads of the speaker cable into the red terminal and
•the end of the black lead of the speaker cable into the black terminal on the back of the loudspeaker.
2Then insert
