SETUP switch

This switch has three settings: LEFT, RIGHT and LINE. Set the switch to LEFT or RIGHT when connecting the loudspeakers­ in a Bang & Olufsen system. Set the switch to LINE when connecting the loud­ speakers in a non–Bang & Olufsen system.

…To a Bang & Olufsen system: Use the enclosed Power Link cables to connect the loudspeakers­ to your system. Set the SETUP switch to LEFT and RIGHT (the left and right sound channel) respectively.

…To a non-Bang & Olufsen system:

Use a special adaptor with an ordinary phono/RCA plug in one end, and a DIN-plug in the other. Depending on your setup, you may also need to connect an adaptor with phono/RCA and mini jack plugs (optional accessories, available from your Bang & Olufsen retailer). Set the SETUP switch to LINE.

POSITION

POSITION switch

When a loudspeaker­ is placed in a corner or close to a wall, the bass level is boosted compared to the bass level from a loudspeaker­ placed in a more free-standing position.

To remove this excessive bass boost, set the POSITION switch to ensure that the bass level suits the placement of the loudspeaker­. The appropriate switch setting depends on the distance from the loudspeaker­ to the walls and corners of the room. Use the guidelines on the next page, when deciding which of the three POSITION switch settings to select

– on each loudspeaker­.

The position zones, shown on the next page, are meant as guidelines­

–you may, of course, set the switch to any of the three settings you prefer.
