Fire hazard!
Improper use may lead to damage or fire.
• Do not place open flames such as burning candles or
similar on the unit.
• Ensure sufficient ventilation.
• Do not place the unit in direct sunlight.
• Only use the unit in indoor areas.
• Do not operate the unit in moist areas and protect it
from drops of water and splash water. Also take care
not to stand vases or other containers filled with
liquid on or near the speaker in order to avoid liquid
getting into the case.
Danger
Danger of injury/damage!
Incorrect location may result in damage.
• Never use the unit unmounted in vehicles, in unstable locations, on wobbly stands or furniture, on
under dimensioned brackets etc. The speakers could
tip or fall down and cause injury to persons or be
damaged.
• Place the speakers in such a way that they cannot be
knocked over unseen and make sure that the cables
do not pose a trip hazard.
• Carefully follow the installation instructions.
• If mounting the speakers on the wall, make sure that
the job is carried out by a professional.
• 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
amplifiers etc.).
Danger
Danger to children!
Children can become trapped in the packing
film when playing and suffocate.
• Do not allow children to play with the unit or the
packing film. Danger of suffocation.
• Ensure that children do not remove any small parts
from the unit or pull them off of the unit (e.g. rubber
feet or similar). They could swallow the parts and
choke. Never allow children to operate electrical
units unsuper vised.
Danger to hearing!
Extended listening at high volumes may lead
to hearing loss.
• To avoid damage to health, avoid extended listening
at high volumes.
• When the volume is set high, always keep a certain
distance from the unit and never place your ear
directly on the speaker.
• Particularly when the subwoofer has been set to
maximum volume and the unit is activated, very high
noise pressure may suddenly be produced. This may
have psychological consequences and also cause
physical injury. Children and pets are particularly at
risk. Set your signal source unit volume control to a
low setting before turning on the power.

Product contents
Connector cables
The satellite speakers are supplied without
connector cables as customer requirements
vary widely. You will find suitable cables in our online
shop where you can also purchase items such as
speaker stands and wall brackets for your speakers.
Setup and connection
Location tips
• 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.
• Do not place any heavy objects on the cables or the
speakers.
The following information relates to the “perfect home
cinema” in which the viewer or listener sits centrally at
the correct distance from the television or screen (see
diagram, right) and no objects (tables or similar) are
placed between the viewer and the screen. Unfortunately,
the room, furnishings or other circumstances do not
always allow for optimum arrangement.
Modern AV receivers of fer a range of solutions to compensate electronically for any deficiencies in placement. The
following general rule applies: You can always experiment
on what works best in your listening room in terms of
sound and appearance based on our recommendations.
Let your ears (and eyes) decide!

Front speakers
• The front speakers CS 35 FCR Mk3 are placed to the
left and right of the screen.
• They should form, as far as possible, an equilateral
triangle with the listener – what is known as the stereo
triangle (distance to listener = distance between
speakers).
• The speakers should project sound directly into the
room or slightly towards the listener.
Center speaker
• The center speaker should be placed centrally on an arc
curving slightly towards the television.
• The table stand ensures that the speaker is stable and
minimises vibration
. No fixing is required: place the
speaker in the centre of the stand.
Surround speakers
The surround speakers are placed or wall-mounted to the
sides of the listener at head height (140 to 210 cm).
Wall mounting
If you choose to wall-mount your speakers, please note
the following:
Danger
Risk of damage!
Incorrect mounting can lead to damage.
• If mounting the speakers on the wall, make sure that
the job is carried out by a professional.
• Before drilling holes use a metal detector to make
sure that there are no electrical cables or pipes in
the wall within the drilling area.
• Use only suitable screws and wall plugs for fixing.
Verify the carrying capacity of the walls.
• Use the key-hole slot(s) on the rear
of the speakers to hang the speak
ers on the screw(s) fixed into the wall
before.
• The key-hole slot(s) and the threaded
hole on the rear of the speakers are
also intended for fixing the speakers
to a wall bracket or speaker stand
(you will find suitable items in our
online shop).
Connecting
Danger
Danger of injury/damage!
Arrange the cables so that they do not pose a
trip hazard.
• Unplug the power plug of your AV receiver or multichannel active subwoofer from the mains.
• Lay speaker cable from your AV receiver or multi-channel active subwoofer to the speaker. Use a high-quality
double wire speaker cable with marked strands for this.
• Use the connection terminal with the two clamps on
the back of the speaker to connect the speaker cables.
• The terminals are each marked red (+) and black (–).
Make sure the polarity is correct!
Connect the like coloured terminals.
The speaker connections on your AV receiver
or multi-channel active subwoofer
should be similarly
marked. The strands of the speaker cables are marked
with different colours or shapes.
1. Split the wire down by approx. 30 mm on both ends and
remove approx. 10 mm of insulation each.
2. Twist the wire so that no strands are protruding.
3. Press down the red and the black levers on the connector clamps and guide the exposed ends of the single wires into the openings which are accessible now.
Releasing the levers clamps the single wires securely
in place.
4. Connect all of the cables to the speakers in this way.
5. Connect the other ends of the speaker cables to your
AV receiver or multi-channel active subwoofer. You
should be able to find corresponding notes in the operating instructions of your device.
Crossover frequency
• The optimum crossover frequency for the
CS 35 Mk3-Set
is 150 Hz. Where possible set your AV
receiver or Decoder Station as close as possible to this
value.
• If the satellite speakers are used as par t of a Concept
C set the crossover frequency will be provided by the
subwoofer.
• For Concept E sets without DecoderStation you set the
crossover frequency in your soundcard settings. If it is
not possible to do this then please select the setting
“small” for the satellite speakers.

Care and cleaning
Clean the speakers regularly with a soft, damp microfiber
cloth. Please be absolutely sure to observe the following
notes in the process:
Attention
Risk of damage!
Using the wrong cleaning materials may
damage the delicate surface of the case.
• If possible, only use plain water without any additives. 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.
The following advice should help you to solve problems. If this does not help, you will find useful information in the detailed FAQs on our website. Otherwise, please contact our hotline (see page 3). Take note of the warranty instructions.
Problem Possible cause Solution
Playback is noisy. Generally speaking, the speakers are very
low noise. In the high range area, very highresolution speaker systems can expose
the poor quality of a signal source (e.g.
from MP3 files).
Make sure that the source is emitting a clear
signal.
The sound seems dull. Speakers have been connected with incor-
rec t polarity.
Check to make sure the cables of all speakers
are correctly connected.
Disposal of the unit
Used units must not be disposed of with
household waste!
If the unit is beyond use the owner must dispose of old equipment separately from household waste, e.g. at a local authority waste
collection centre. In this way it is ensured, that used units
are properly recycled and that negative consequences on
the environment are avoided. For this reason, electrical
equipment is labelled with the displayed symbol.
