Setup and connection
Setup notes
• 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.
• The location of the subwoofer can be freely selected and
does not infl uence the other speakers. However, do not place
it in the corner of a room as this may cause uncontrollable
frequency overloads. A location between the front speakers
is often ideal.
• The enclosed rubber feet are affi xed to all four corners on
the base plate of the subwoofer in order to avoid interference associated with vibrations.
Connecting
Danger
Danger of injury/damage!
Arrange the cables so that they do not pose a
trip hazard.
• Pull the mains plug of your amplifi er/AV receiver out of the
socket.
• Ideally, you should connect the subwoofer with the
subwoofer output of the amplifi er/AV receiver using an RCA
mono cable.
Normally, only the RCA jack 1
“LEFT IN”
on the back side of
the subwoofer is used for this purpose.
• The RCA jack 1
“RIGHT IN” is only occupied if you use a
Y adapter for the connection. This increases the subwoofer
level slightly.
• You will fi nd more information on this in the operating in-
structions of your amplifi er/AV receiver.
• If your amplifi er/AV receiver does not have a connection for
a subwoofer, connect an available speaker outlet with an
RCA jack 1 of the subwoofer using a voltage reducer and an
RCA cable. We offer voltage reducers on our website in the
“Accessories” area.
Connection to a power supply
• Ensure that the mains switch 9 “Power” on the subwoofer is
switched off (“0 OFF” position).
• Connect the mains connector jack 10 with a mains socket
using the power cord.
• Also plug the mains plug of your amplifi er/AV receiver back
into the socket.

Adjusting and use
Adjusting amplifier/AV receiver and
Subwoofer
Most amplifi ers/AV receivers feature a menu with speaker set-
tings (referred to as “Speaker Setup” or similar).
Amplifi er/AV receiver setup
• Subwoofer to “on”
• Crossover frequency for subwoofer:
– 100 Hz, if satellites with 130 mm midrange speakers are
connected.
– 80 Hz, if satellites with 160 mm midrange speakers are
connected.
• Volume of the subwoofer to more than 75 %
Subwoofer setup
• Switch 6 “Off • Au to • On“ to “Auto“.
• Switch 8 “Low Pass • Full
Range“ to “Full Range“
(switch set-
ting: right)
.
• Control 3
“Volume“ to center position.
• Control 5 “Frequency“ to the right until it stops.
With these settings, the subwoofer will work optimally and
the automatic activation/deactivation is functioning properly.
You can make the fi nal fi ne tuning later on your amplifi er/AV
receiver.
Subwoofer setup with non-adjustable amplifi er/
AV recei ve r
If your amplifi er/AV receiver does not provide the above op-
tions, you can make the most important settings directly on the
subwoofer. To do so, you will need a CD or DVD with adequate,
powerful sound.
• Set switch 8 “Low Pass • Full Range” to the left to “Low
Pass”. This activates the controlrs 5 “Frequency” and 7
“Phase”.
• Set the crossover frequency with the controller 5 “Frequency” to about 100 Hz (fourth mark). This sets the subwoofer to
reproduce only frequencies up to 100 Hz.
• Set the control 7 “Phase“ to “0°“.
• Set the control 3
“Volume“ to center position.
• Now make an audition and then adjust the volume control
3 “Volume” until the subwoofer is clearly audible and adjust
the control 5 “Frequency” until the bass is strong but not
booming.
• Once you have set the best sound, move the control 7
“Phase” several times until it stops in both directions. If you
notice a marked improvement in sound here, fi nd the optimal
setting. Otherwise, leave the knob to “0°”
• Optimise the settings with other CDs/DVDs and different
volumes.
Automatic activation/deactivation
With switch 6 “Off•Auto•On” you can switch the operating
state:
Off Standby
Auto The subwoofer activates as soon as an audio signal is
present on the input jack 1 “Line In”. If there is no audio
signal for some period of time, the subwoofer switches
to standby.
On: The subwoofer is continually activated.

Care and cleaning
Danger
Risk of electric shock!
In contact with live parts, water can lead to electric
shock or short circuit.
• Make sure that no liquid penetrates the unit.
• Disconnect the mains plug before cleaning.
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 notes and further detailed information on our website should help you to rectify malfunctions. If this does not lead to
success, please contact our hotline 00800 - 200 300 40 (free of charge). Please also observe the warranty notes.
Problem Possible cause Solution
The subwoofer isn’t working. The subwoofer is off or doesn’t have any
power.
Turn on the switches 9 and 6 (“On”). Check the
power cord and socket.
Fuse defective. 1.
2.
Disconnect the power
cord.
Carefully pull the fuse
holder out of the mains
connection.
Push the old fuse down
and out. Insert a new
fuse (2 A delayed action)
and push the holder
back.
The volume has been set too low. Increase the volume with the control 3.
The subwoofer hums. The subwoofer is connected to another
circuit than the rest of the system.
Connect the subwoofer and AV receiver to the same
circuit.
The buzzing is caused by problems with
the power supply.
Buy a line fi lter and connect both devices to it.
The buzzing is caused by a multi-outlet
power strip.
Use another multi-outlet power strip or connect the
subwoofer directly to the wall socket. It may also
help to insert the power plug the other way around.
