Danger of injury/damage!
Incorrect location may result in damage.
Attention
Fire hazard!
Improper use may lead to damage or fi re.
• Never use the unit unmounted in vehicles, in unstable
locations, on wobbly stands or furniture, on underdimensioned brackets etc. The speakers could tip or fall
down and cause injury to persons or be damaged.
• Arrange the speakers so that they cannot be knocked
over accidentally and make sure that the cables do not
pose a trip hazard.
• If mounting the speakers on the wall, make sure that
the job is carried out by a professional.
• Only use suitable wall holders to mount the speakers.
Verify the carrying capacity of the walls.
• Do not place the unit near sources of heat (e.g. heaters, ovens, other heat generating equipment such as
amplifi ers etc.)
• Do not place open fl ames such as burning candles or
similar on the unit.
• Ensure suffi cient ventilation.
• Do not place the unit in direct sunlight.
• Do not cover the ventilation slots with curtains, cloths,

Setup/wall mounting
Setup location
Cinebar 21
A location directly under the TV set is ideal. Hang the
Cinebar 21 either directly to the wall or place it on the
stand 햳 below the TV set.
Subwoofer
If possible, you should also place the subwoofer on the
fl oor close to the television. However, you can also set it
up in another location in the room as the listener’s ears
are unable to locate lower tones.
Operating the device in the corner of a room is not
recommended.
Location tips
• Select a stable, level base.
Please consider the following chapter when mounting
the device on the wall.
• Make sure that the environment is clean and free from
dust.
• Avoid placing the unit close to sources of heat or in
direct sunlight.
• Arrange the connector cables so that they do not pose
a trip hazard.
• Do not place any heavy objects on top of the cables or
the units.
Wall mounting
You will need the following material for wall mounting on
a solid stone wall:
• 2 x dowels (ø 8 mm)
• 2 x screws, 5 x 50 mm
(screw head = ø 10–12 mm)
1. Mark the hole distance between the two wall mounting
profi les of 61.25 cm on the wall where you intend to
install the Cinebar 21. Use a folding rule, pencil and
level for this purpose.
2. Use a metal detector to ensure that there are no cables
or pipes in the areas where you intend to drill. If necessary, select another place for installation.
3. With an 8 mm masonry drill, drill a hole that is approx. 45 mm deep at each of the marked positions.
4. Insert 2 dowels (ø 8 mm) completely in the drill holes.
5. Screw one screw (5 x 50 mm) into each of the dowels
until the distance between the wall and screw head is
approx. 4 mm.
A
6. Push the Cinebar 21 up against the wall so that the
screws disappear into the holes A. Now pull the
Cinebar 21 down so that the screws slip into the narrow slot.
7. If necessary, turn the screws further into or out of the
holes until the Cinebar 21 is fi rmly mounted on the wall.
