OPERATIONAL SAFETY
• Never open the housing of the 5.1 system, the speak-
ers or the power adapter! There is life threatening danger
by electric shock, if the housing of the power adapter is
opened. There are no serviceable parts inside.
• Children should never play unattended with electrical
equipment.
Children cannot always recognise potential hazards properly.
• This 5.1 system is not designed for operation in a heavy
industrial environment.
LOCATION
Follow these instructions to connect your 5.1 system properly:
A power supply socket must be close to the device and easily acces-
sible. Run cables in a way that no one can step or trip over them.
The power supply to your device is interrupted only, when the
power plug is removed from the power socket. If you switch off
the device using the power switch, then the power feed is not interrupted. Always hold the plug firmly when removing it. To avoid
product damage never pull by the power cord.
Operate the power adapter only on grounded power outlets with
240V~50Hz. When in doubt about the power type at your location, contact the related power utility company.
To avoid damage never place any objects on the power cord.
Do not expose your 5.1 system, the loudspeakers or any connected devices
to humidity. Avoid dust, heat and exposure to direct sunlight to prevent operating failure.
Place and operate all the components on a stable and flat surface, free
of vibrations, to prevent the loudspeakers from tumbling.
Only use in a suitable ambient temperature:

0° C to 40° C and a relative humidity between 20% - 80% (noncondensing). When switched off the 5.1 system can be stored between -20°
C and 70° C and at a relative humidity between 20% - 90% (noncondensing).
ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPLIANCE
The guidelines for electromagnetic compliance (EMC) must be
obeyed when operating the speakers.
Only use the supplied power cord.
Keep a distance of at least three feet from sources of high fre-
quency or magnetic interference (TV sets, other loudspeakers, mobile phones, etc.) to avoid interference, malfunction and data loss.

With this 5.1 System you can reproduce surround sound effects.
To reproduce these surround effects the following conditions must be
met:
the medium (usually DVD film) must support surround sound.
 Remark: Depending on the movie title surround sound
effects may vary in intensity.
the connected source (DVD-player, sound card, etc) must support the
required connections and functions.
Furthermore, your 5.1 system must be properly connected and positioned, so that the optimal surround effect can be heard:
POSITIONING THE 5.1 SYSTEM
Position the loudspeakers in such a way, that the audience is in the centre.
The satellite speakers may be distributed freely. The two rear satellite
speakers have longer cables, so that they can be positioned according to
the space in the room:
Rear right Rear left
Front right Front left

CONNECTING THE 5.1 SYSTEM
Note the instructions in the chapter „Safety and Service“ (pages
2 and following).
1. CONNECTING THE LOUDSPEAKERS
After having positioned the components connect the cables of the
loudspeakers. Use the drawing on page 6 and the table below as a
guide:
Loudspeaker Connection on the 5.1 System (s. p. 6) Loudspeaker plug
Front left 5, FRONT L – Cinch white Cinch black
Front right 6, FRONT R – Cinch red Cinch black
Rear left 7, REAR L – Cinch white Cinch black
Rear right 8, REAR R – Cinch red Cinch black
Centre 9, CENTER – Cinch yellow Cinch black
2. CONNECTING THE SOUND SOURCE
Your 5.1 system can take input from a sound card, a DVD-player
or another suitable sound source with the corresponding output
connections.
 Tip: 3.5mm stereo cinch female plugs are required. When not
available, adapters are required.
 Attention: Digital connections are not supported and can dam-
age the device.
1. Locate the output connections of the sound source (sound card, DVD-player, etc)
and connect the device with the supplied cables. The connections are usually colour-coded.
The colours might vary slightly. Check the user manual of your device as a safeguard. Use the table as a guide:
Connection on the 5.1 system (s. p. 6) Connection on the source
2, Front R - Cinch red
2, Front L - Cinch white
3, Rear R - Cinch red
3, Rear L - Cinch white
4, Center C – white
4, Bass B – red

3. CONNECTING THE POWER ADAPTER
Connect the supplied power adapter to the AC In connector on
your 5.1 system (see page 6,)11) and insert the power plug into
an easily accessible power socket. Do NOT switch on the 5.1 system yet.

OPERATION AND HANDLING
1. Check, that all volume controls are set to the lowest position. Turn the
controls on the front (s. p. 5
until you feel resistance.
2. Switch on your sound source and play a suitable sound.
3. Now switch on the 5.1 system by flipping the power switch (s. p. 6,
into position I/ON. An LED (n) will show to indicate the 5.1 system is
in operation.
4. Switch on the desired source (q) to AUX or 5.1 Input.
5. Turn the volume control of the corresponding speakers carefully clockwise until a comfortable volume level is reached and a balanced sound
is achieved. Turning the control counter-clockwise lowers the volume.
6. To turn off the volume, switch off the 5.1 system (position 0/OFF) and
then switch off the sound source.

SUPPORT IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION
Malfunctions can sometimes be caused by trivial issues and sometimes
be complex in nature and require thorough analysis.
Start with a careful visual inspection of all cable connections. If the
indicators are not lit, then check, whether the 5.1 system is properly
supplied with power.
Switch off the device and check all cable connections. When you are
certain, that the supply of power operates flawlessly and that all connections are correct, then switch on the device again.
If the sound is distorted or too low, then adjust the volume controls
until the desired volume level is obtained.
If you do not hear any sound, then this could be caused by:
- the speakers are without power
- the volume control is turned down
- sound output is deactivated, muted or faulty (e.g. the
wrong format).
