SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Please read all the instructions herein. Please retain this manual safely for future reference.
Please heed all safety warnings. Please Install in accordance with the Manufacturer's instructions.
Please adjust the volume control to a comfortable level to avoid damaging your hearing and the system.

WARNING:
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK:

Do not expose this apparatus to rain or moisture.
Do not use the speakers near water, and do not immerse them in any liquid or pour any liquid on them.
Do not block the openings in the speaker cabinets, never push objects into speaker vents or slots because of fire
or electric shock hazards, and provide sufficient space around the speakers for proper ventilation.
Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including
amplifiers) that produce heat.
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the
other. The wider blade is provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an
electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched
particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.
For added protection during lightning storms, unplug the speakers from the electrical outlet and turn off the
computer.
Unplug this apparatus when unused for long periods of time.

Heat---- Place the speakers away from all heat sources, such as heat registers, stoves, and direct sunlight.
Ventilation ---- Do not block the openings in the speaker cabinets, never push objects into speaker vents or slots

because of fire or electric shock hazards, and provide sufficient space around the speakers for proper ventilation.
Location ---- Place the speakers in a stable location so that it will not fall causing damage to the speakers or
bodily harm.
Cleaning --- Unplug the speakers from the computer and from the electrical outlet before cleaning them with a
damp cloth.

Leitfaden zur Fehlerbehebung

Ton nur aus einem Lautsprecher

Vergewissern Sie sich, dass der iPod und alle Lautsprecherkabel ordnungsgemäß angeschlossen sind.
Verwenden Sie testweise alternative Klangquellen wie CD-Player, MP3-Player o. ä. Wenn beide
Lautsprecher jetzt ordnungsgemäß funktionieren, liegt der Fehler bei der ursprünglichen Klangquelle.
Vergewissern Sie sich, dass die Soundkarte des Computers ordnungsgemäß installiert ist.

Beim Abspielen einer CD mit dem Computer funktioniert nur ein Lautsprecher

Dieses Phänomen tritt am ehesten bei neuen Computern auf: beim Abspielen einer Audio-CD kommt nur
aus einem Satellitenlautsprecher Ton, beim Abspielen einer WAV-Datei oder in Spielen funktionieren alle
Lautsprecher ordnungsgemäß.
Das kann daran liegen, dass das CD-ROM-Laufwerk nicht an die Soundkarte angepasst ist oder
möglicherweise ein Signalkanal als Massekabel kurzgeschlossen ist.
Informationen zum Anpassen der Jumper finden Sie im Benutzerhandbuch des CD-ROM-Laufwerks.

Kein Ton aus den Lautsprechern

1. Vergewissern Sie sich, dass das Netzkabel in der Steckdose steckt und der Netzschalter eingeschaltet
ist.

2. Stellen Sie sicher, dass der iPod sich im iPod-Fach befindet.

3. Vergewissern Sie sich, dass alle Lautsprecheraudiokabel ordnungsgemäß angeschlossen sind.

4. Vergewissern Sie sich, dass die Klangquelle ordnungsgemäß funktioniert bzw. der iPod Musik wiedergibt.

Lautsprecher rauschen stark

Lautsprecher von Edifier sind für rauscharme Klangwiedergabe ausgelegt. Einige Audiogeräte haben
allerdings ein schlechtes Signal-Rausch-Verhältnis. Ziehen Sie daher das Audioeingangskabel ab und
überprüfen Sie, ob das Rauschen vom CD/DVD-Player bzw. der Computersoundkarte kommt.

Magnetisch abgeschirmte Lautsprecher

Subwoofer und Satellitenlautsprecher von Edifier haben eine magnetische Abschirmung. Sie können die
Lautsprecher neben einem Fernseher oder Computermonitor aufstellen. Allerdings ist es sinnvoll, zwischen
Lautsprechern und Monitor einen Abstand von 20 cm bis 1 m zu lassen, um Magnetfeldinterferenzen zu
vermeiden.

So optimieren Sie die Klangqualität Ihres Systems:

Setzen Sie sich bequem vor Ihren Computer. Nehmen Sie sich die Zeit, um Ihre Klangumgebung mit Musik­CDs auszuprobieren, die ein breites Frequenzspektrum und eine räumliche Links-Rechts-Abbildung
aufweisen.
Die verwendeten Wandler verändern in den ersten beiden Wochen der Benutzung die Eigenschaften der
Lautsprecher ein wenig, weil sich die Aufhängung der Membranen etwas lockert. Dadurch wird die
Klangfarbe insgesamt etwas wärmer. Stellen Sie die Lautsprecher so auf, dass ein möglichst realistisches
Klangbild und eine ausgewogene Tonbalance erreicht werden. Verwenden Sie dazu Musik verschiedenster
Art sowie Computerspiele.
Für bestmögliche Klangqualität sollten Sie Ihre Lautsprecher 15 bis 20 cm von der hinteren Wand entfernt
aufstellen, um unerwünschte Reflexionen zu vermeiden, die den Klang beeinträchtigen können.
