Warranty conditions
12 year warranty for speakers and 2 year warranty for ampliers and electronic equipment from date of pur­chase covers materials and workmanship, excludes dam­age caused by improper use or electrical or mechanical overload. Proof of warranty is the original of our invoice. This warranty applies solely to speakers, ampliers and electronics purchased from Teufel by an end user for private use. The warranty is not valid for speakers, ampli-
ers and electronics which pass to an end user via a third party merchant. In the case of a private re-sale of Teufel products, the warranty may be transferred to the pur­chaser as long as the original proof of purchase is also passed on to the purchaser.
Returns
Teufel provides the right to exchange or return within eight weeks with refund of the purchase price paid. Return of individual components sold as a package is only possible if these components are also sold individu­ally by Lautsprecher Teufel. In the case of the return of one or more individual components the package price reduction offered by Lautsprecher Teufel on all com­ponents in a package no longer applies. The amount refunded to the customer for the components returned will therefore only be the difference between the package price and the purchase price of the individual parts. The economic result for the customer is that it is as if he/she had originally bought the remaining components at their individual prices.
Further information on the subject of returns may be found on the back of the returns form enclosed with the order or online in the support area of our website www. teufel.eu.
If you need to return your goods please do not act with­out first speaking to Lautsprecher Teufel. We can only process or accept your returns if you give us prior notification by telephone and discuss how to proceed!

Setup and connection
Setup location
Ideally, you should place the subwoofer under your • computer table and the speakers to the right and left of the monitor. Select a stable, level base.• 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 the cables or the •
speakers.
Mounting the spikes
Screw the four spikes f into the four threaded holes on the bottom of the subwoofer. These spikes ensure that the device has a stable position. Additionally, they minimise vibrations and provide enough space for the subwoofer’s resonance opening. The subwoofer may not be used without spikes.
Setting up the speakers
You can set up the two satellite speakers either in an upright position or on their side using the stands included:
Make sure the polarity is correct!
Connect the like coloured terminals with one
another. Otherwise the sound quality will suffer. The wires of the speaker cables are marked with different colours or forms.
Split the core on both ends up to approximately 30 mm • and remove approximately 10 mm of the insulation on each piece. Twist the core so that no wires are protrud­ing. Turn the connector terminal counterclockwise until • loose. Run the stripped cable end into the hole that is now visible. Turn the terminal clockwise. The cable has now been clamped in place. Connect all cables to the speakers this way.• Also connect the respective other end of the speaker • cable to the connections 5 “Speaker out” on the sub­woofer (“Right” = right speaker, “Left” = left speaker) in this way.
RCA input “Line In”
You can connect your PC or almost any other audio source to the RCA jacks 3 “Line In”, such as MP3 players (with/without a docking station), video game systems, televisions etc. The source device only needs an output with line level. These kinds of outputs are congured as stereo RCA jacks or as 3.5 mm mini jacks. With a corre­sponding connector cable, you can connect these devices to the jacks 3 “Line In”. You can purchase these cables in our webshop (www.teufel.eu) in the “Accessories” area.
g e
Screw the stand e into the desired position with a screw g (see graphic). Stick four of the rubber feet h under the
stand to prevent vibrations.
Connecting the speakers
Lay the speaker cable from your subwoofer to each • of the speakers. This cable should be a high-quality double-core speaker cable with marked wires. The cross-section should amount to at least 1.0 mm2. A connector terminal with two terminals is located on • the back of the speakers, one is marked red (+) and the other black (-).
Connecting a microphone
You can connect a microphone (e. g. from a headset) to the jack 12 “Mic” on the front of the remote control. This mono sound input is then transmitted from the mini-jack 2 “Mic. Out” on the back of the subwoofer. Connect this jack with the microphone input of your PC. You will need a connector cable with two mini-jacks for this, which you can purchase in our webshop (www.teufel.eu) in the “Ac­cessories” area.
The microphone input is also active when the amplier is in standby mode.
Headphones
You can connect stereo headphones to the jack 5 “Phone”. The speakers are automatically deactivated in the process.

set to the right voltage!
The switch 6 has two settings:
The selected setting is visible in white print on the switch’s red plastic slider. In case of doubt, please ask your local energy supplier for your mains voltage.
Check the mains voltage!
Be absolutely sure to check whether the switch for the mains voltage 6 has been
230• (220–240 V) for Germany and Europe 115• (110–120 V) for North America
If necessary, set the correct mains voltage using the • switch 6. Ensure that the mains switch• 7 “Power” is switched off (“OFF” position). Connect the mains connector jack • 8 with a mains socket using the mains cord c.

Activating and deactivating
With the mains switch • 7 “Power”, you can turn your Concept D 500 THX on and off. Following activation, the device is rst in standby mode and the ring around the button 1 “Standby” is red. With the button • 1 “Standby” or by pressing the volume control 10 “Volume”, you switch your amplier to op­eration and/or standby mode. In operating mode, the ring around the button • 1 “Standby” and the scales around the controllers for the remote control are blue.
Adjusting the volume
Increasing volume: Turn the control • 10 “Volume” clock­wise. Decreasing volume: Turn the control • 10 “Volume” counterclockwise.
Adjusting the subwoofer
Increasing the subwoofer volume: Turn the control • 9 “Bass” clockwise. Decreasing the subwoofer volume: Turn the control • 9 “Bass” counterclockwise.

Care and cleaning
Clean your Concept D 500 THX regularly with a soft, damp microbre cloth. In the process, be absolutely sure to observe the following notes:
Danger
Risk of electric shock!
In contact with live parts, water can lead to
electric shock or short circuit. Ensure that no liquid penetrates the unit.• Disconnect the mains plug before cleaning.•
Attention
Risk of damage!
Using the wrong cleaning materials may dam-
age the delicate surface of the case. If possible use only plain water with no cleaning prod-• ucts. In case of stubborn marks, a mild soap solution may be used. In no circumstances should caustic cleaning products, • white spirit, thinners, petrol or similar be used for cleaning.
Troubleshooting
The following instructions should help you to solve problems. If this doesn't work, please contact our hotline (see page 3). Mind the warranty instructions.
Problem Possible cause Solution The device emits no sound. The PC link has been interrupted. Check the connection to the PC (see “RCA
input” on page 7). Volume is set to “0”. Increase the volume. Fuse defective. Change the fuse: Remove
the mains cable, carefully
pull the fuse holder out of
the mains connector jack
8. Insert a new fuse (3.5
A delay-action), close the
holder.
The speakers hum. The humming is caused by line distur-
bance. The humming is caused by a multiple
socket.
The playback has interfe­rence.
The Concept D 500 THX is generally a very low-noise system. In the high range area, very good-quality high-resolution speaker systems can expose the poor quality of a signal source (e. g. from MP3 les).
Buy a line lter and connect the device to it.
Use another multiple socket or connect the
subwoofer directly to a wall socket. Connec-
ting the mains plug with the socket the other
way around may also help.
Make sure that the source sends a clean
signal to the Concept D 500 THX.
