Preparations

To be able to integrate Teufel
Streaming products with Raumfeld
technology in your network and
to ensure smooth operation, we
recommend an up-to-date, high
performance router with a broadband
Internet connection.

Setup

• The perfect spot for the Sounddeck
is in a central position under the
TV.

Please note that obstacles
such as walls and ceilings

may affect signal transmission.

Make sure that the Wi-Fi router is
active, has the latest firmware and is
able to access the Internet.

To the extent possible, the router
should be positioned in the middle
of your home in order to ensure an
adequate Wi-Fi signal throughout
your home.

Wireless Remote Control

The remote control must be
connected to the Sounddeck during
initial installation.

1. Pull out the plastic strip on the
bottom of the remote control.

2. Now hold the remote control in a
central position directly in front of
the Sounddeck.

3. Hold the buttons a and d on the
remote control down at the same
time until the LED (19) blinks three
times. If instead the LED blinks ten
times in a row, repeat the process.

Operation

Sound settings

Your Sounddeck has 4 different
sound settings, which have been
tuned by our acoustic technicians
here in Berlin using wave field tech­nology. Wave field technology makes
it possible to strategically control the
drivers in the Sounddeck creating
very broad spatial playback effects.

With audio playback (via ARC,
OPTICAL or AUX), you can conven­iently configure the desired sound
pattern with the remote control
buttons a to d:

Button a: Stereo mode

The acoustics resemble the sound
of a classic stereo system. Select
this mode to generate a pure stereo
experience.

Button b: Arena mode

Panorama sound with an extra wide
effect is achieved through lateral
signal output.

Button c: Theatre mode

The theatre mode creates a stage
with a wide effect and clear speech
playback at the same time.

Preset buttons

In streamining mode (streaming via
LAN/Wi-Fi), the buttons a to d act
as programmable preset buttons.
They allow you to access your
favourite radio station, a playlist or
any other music with just the push of
a button.

Programming preset buttons

1. Make sure that the Sounddeck is
operational.

2. Use the Teufel Raumfeld app to
play any music on your Sounddeck
(e.g. a radio station, an album, a
playlist or all tracks of an artist).

3. As soon as the music is played
back, push a preset button and
hold it until you hear a signal tone.
The music that is played back is
now saved for this preset button.

Accessing saved content

• Tap the preset button to access
saved music with just the push of
a button and to play it back on the
Sounddeck.

Button d: Voice mode

The frequency ranges for speech
playback are increased in this mode.
The side drivers are only used to a
limited degree to expand the sound
stage.

Trouble shooting

The following advice should help you to solve problems. If this does not work, our
online documentation will provide help:

http://manual.teufelaudio.com

Problem Possible cause/solution

The LED (16) on
the front side is
not illuminated.

Setup fails.

The app is not
connected or
fails to locate
the configured
streaming
devices.

The Sounddeck
does not emit
any sound in TV
mode or play­back stutters.

Make sure that power is supplied. Check to make sure that
the mains cord is securely seated. Check whether the mains
switch (13) on the back side is switched on.

Restart your router and your smartphone or tablet.

Set up the device near your router and switch any repeaters
off for the duration of the setup process. If your router
provides guest access, do not use it to connect your Teufel
streaming devices.

Read the notes in our online documentation at: http://

manual.teufelaudio.com/setup.

Make sure that the Teufel streaming devices and the smart
device are operated with the Teufel Raumfeld App on the
same Wi-Fi. Restart your router. Briefly disconnect your Teufel
streaming devices from the power supply and then start them
again.

You can find more information in our online documentation:

http://manual.teufelaudio.com.

If you are operating the Sounddeck with a TV via the digital
output (HDMI ARC or OPTICAL), you have to set the output
mode to “PCM” in the TV settings for the selected TV output.

You can find more information in our online documentation:

http://manual.teufelaudio.com/sounddeck.

195480_GB_20170619.indd 11 20.06.17 12:52

Music playback
skips or is inter­rupted.

I would like
to reset the
Sounddeck.

It is possible that one or more Teufel device(s) do not have a
Wi-Fi signal or it is too weak.

Place the devices closer to the router, try alternative setup
locations or connect devices, which are set up far away, with
an Ethernet cable.

As a test, refrain from using repeaters. If applicable, use an
audio stream with low resolution.

Also visit the website of the router manufacturer for tips on
how to improve your Wi-Fi.

You can find more information in our online documentation:

http://manual.teufelaudio.com.

Notice: By resetting the device, all system configuration
settings will also be reset.

Resetting the device: When the device is switched on, use
a paper clip that has been bent straight to push the reset
button (7) and hold it down until the device restarts (for at
least 8 seconds).
