ARC (Audio Return Channel)
In case of a HDMI connection, this
channel provides a return channel for
audio data from the TV set (for TV sets
that support this function). This makes
it possible for audio to be transmitted
from the TV set to the CoreStation
Compact without the need for another cable when a TV signal is being
received.
With many TV sets, the internal speakers are switched off as soon as the
CoreStation Compact plays back the TV
audio.
With some TV sets, you have to activate
these function separately in the menu
– please refer to the user manual for
your TV set.
With many TV sets, the ARC function is
only supported by one HDMI connection. In most cases, it is labelled with
“ARC”.
If your TV set does not support the function ARC via CEC, please observe the
notes regarding ARC in the chapter TV
set without ARC“ on page 18.
CEC (Consumer Electronics
Control)
This function makes it possible to
control devices via the HDMI connection. The CoreStation Compact together
with the TV set is switched on and to
standby with this function. With many
TV sets, you can also adjust the volume
of the CoreStation Compact with the
remote control of your TV set.

Cleaning & Maintenance
NOTICE
External influences may damage or destroy the device.
– If the device is to be left unat-
tended for a prolonged period
of time (e.g. during a vacation)
or if a thunderstorm is forecast, pull the mains plug out
of the socket. Otherwise, sudden overvoltage could cause a
defect.
– If possible, only use plain
water without any additives.
In case of stubborn marks,
a mild soap solution may be
used.
– Do not use caustic cleaning
products, white spirit, thinners, petrol or similar under
any circumstances. Such
cleaning agents may damage
the delicate surface of the
housing.
– Ideally, you should remove dust or
small amounts of dirt with a dry,
smooth leather cloth.
– Use a damp cloth to rub off stubborn
dirt. Make sure that no liquid penetrates the housing.
– Then immediately wipe the damp
surfaces off with a soft cloth without
applying pressure.

Problem Possible cause Solution
The
subwoofer
hums.
The CoreStation Compact is
connected to a different power
circuit from the rest of the
system.
Connect the CoreStation
Compact to the same power
circuit.
The humming is caused by
problems with the power
supply.
Buy a line filter and connect all
devices to it.
The humming is caused by a
multiple socket strip.
Use a different multiple socket
strip or connect the CoreStation
Compact directly to the wall
socket.
Playback is
noisy.
Generally speaking, the
CoreStation Compact is a very
low-noise system. The device
with very high resolution in the
high range area can expose
the poor quality of a signal
source (e.g. from MP3 files).
Make sure that the external
player emits a clear signal to the
CoreStation Compact.
