Set-up in general
• Please refer to the indications in the enclosed assembly instructions.
• Do not set up the unit near strong heat sources or in direct sunlight.
• When setting up in a cupboard or a closed shelf: Allow at least 10 cm clear-
ance around the appliance, so that air can circulate unhindered and no heat
build-up occurs. Do not cover the fan and opening at the back.
• This device complies with protection class 1. The power plug must be
inserted in a socket with an earth wire connection.
• Incorrect voltages can damage the unit. The unit may only be connected
to an electricity supply with the voltage and frequency stated on the rating
plate and using the enclosed mains cable.
• During thunderstorms, disconnect the mains plug. A voltage surge caused
by lightning conducted through the mains could damage the unit.
• If the unit is not to be used for an extended period, the plug should also be
disconnected from the mains.
• The mains plug must be easy to reach to ensure that the unit can be disconnected from the mains at any time.
• Position the mains cable in such a way that it can not be damaged. The
mains ca ble must not have any kinks in it, nor should it be laid over sharp
edges, it must not be walked on, nor subjected to any che mi ca ls ; the latter
applies to the entire appliance. A mains cable with damaged insulation
can cause electric shocks and represents a fire hazard. Stop using the unit
immediately if the mains cable is damaged.
• When you want to unplug from the mains, pull on the plug housing rather
than on the cable. The cables in the mains plug could otherwise be damaged and could cause a short-circuit when plugged in again.
• Keep the unit away from other electrical household equipment, motors or
transformers to avoid buzzing noises.
• Set the unit up in such a way that the infrared signal from the remote control can reach the Sound Projector display without being impeded.
• Do not place any strong artificial light source in front of the unit. This could
have a detrimental effect on the infrared reception.
• Do not use any force when operating the controls, sockets or cables.

Please also read and follow the safety advice on the following pages .
For your safety
For your safety, and to avoid unnecessary damage to your unit, please read
and follow the safety advice below.
Please keep the safety information in a safe place.
Please also follow the safety instructions that you will find below the left-hand
and right-hand covers on the rear of the appliance.
Use for the intended purpose and ambient conditions
This unit is intended exclusively for playback of audio signals. It is designed for
living or office rooms and may not be used in rooms with a high level of humid-
ity (e.g. bathroom, sauna) or a high dust concentration (e.g. workshops ). The
terms of the warranty only cover the intended use of the unit.
ATTENTION : THE MAINS CABLE OF THIS UNIT MUST BE CONNECTED TO A SOCKET
WITH PROTECTIVE GROUND.
This unit is not disconnected from the mains, even when it is switched off, provided it is still plugged into the socket. This status is called Standby. In standby
the unit only uses a small amount of electricity (page 34).
If the unit is used outdoors, make sure that it is protected from moisture (rain,
drips, spray or dew).
High concentrations of moisture and dust lead to creepage current in the unit
which can make it dangerous if a live wire is touched, or it may cause a fire.
If you have moved the unit out of the cold into a warm environment, leave it
switched off for about three hours to avoid the formation of condensation.
Ensure that your system (Individual Sound Projector, TV set and other connected components, if any) are switched off before you connect or disconnect
other devices or speakers.
Protect your device from:
• Wetness, dampness, dripping or sprayed water, steam.
• Knocks and mechanical stresses.
• Magnetic and electric fields
• Cold, heat, direct sunlight and high temperature fluctuations
• Dust
• Covers that inhibit ventilation
• Reaching into the inside of the unit
Do not place any objects containing a liquid on top of the unit. Protect
the appliance from dripping and splashing water.
Candles and other open flames must be kept away from the unit at
all times to prevent the spread of fire.
ATTENTION: TO AVOID RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE THE COVER (AND THE BACK OF THE UNIT). THERE ARE NO
PARTS INSIDE THE UNIT THAT CAN BE REPAIRED BY THE USER.
REPAIRS SHOULD ONLY BE CARRIED OUT BY A LOEWE DEALER.
Use only gen ui ne accessories and spare parts from Loewe.
Volume
Loud music can result in impaired hearing. Avoid extremely loud volume, especially
over prolonged periods and when you use headphones.
Supervision
Do not allow children to use the unit/TV set unsupervised. Do not allow children
to play in the im medi ate vicinity of the unit/TV set. Do not operate the unit unattended. If the unit is not to be used for an extended period, the plug should also
be disconnected from the mains or switched off.
Cleaning
Only clean your unit with a slightly damp, soft, clean cloth (without any aggressive
or scouring cleaning agents).

Performance
With the Loewe Individual Sound Projector, you can enjoy digital surroundsound in the simplest manner. It eliminates the tedious installation and cabling
of several speakers distributed across a room.
We use state-of-the-art digital soundprocessor technology to control several small
loudspeakers in such a way that directed sound waves and targeted reflection off
the walls of your room create the real impression of acoustic spatial perception
regardless where you are sitting - as if you were in the thick of the action.
The setup and operation of the Sound Projector, especially in conjunction with
Loewe TV-sets (from Chassis SL 1xx onwards), is easy.

Setting up
Setup
• The unit is suitable for various set-up solutions. Please pay attention to the
respective mounting instructions.
• Only place the unit with a table or stand on a level, firm, horizontal surface.
When being set up, the unit should, in particular, not protrude into or over
furniture.
Positioning in the room
The Sound Projector gives out surround sound by reflecting projected sound waves
off the walls in your room. The surround sound effect generated by the unit may
not be sufficient if the unit is installed in a room with the following characteristics:
• Rooms in which the walls are not suitable for reflecting sound waves.
• Rooms with sound damping surfaces.
• Rooms whose dimensions are greater than the following range:
width (3 - 7 m) × height (2 - 3.5 m) × depth (3 - 7 m).
• Rooms in which the listening position is less than 1.8 m away from the
loudspeaker position.
• Rooms in which, for example, furniture could block the path of the sound
beams.
• Rooms in which the listening position is close to the wall.
• Rooms in which the listening position is not in front of the unit.
Install the Sound Projector in a position where the path of the sound beams is
not impeded by obstacles, such as furniture. Otherwise the desired surround sound
effects may not be obtained.
You can install the unit parallel to the wall or in a corner.
Position parallel to the wall
Install the Sound Projector exactly in the middle of the wall, measured precisely
from the left and the right corner.
Position in a corner
Install the Sound Projector in a corner at an angle of 40º to 50º to the adjoining walls.
Example: 5.1 Mode.
