adapters). They could swallow the parts and choke. Never
allow children to operate electrical devices unsupervised.
Danger to hearing
Loud noise may lead to hearing loss.
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.
• When the volume is set high, always keep a certain dis-
tance from the unit and never place your ear directly on
the speaker.
• To avoid damage to health, avoid extended listening at
high volume.

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.
Connecting

cated on the back side of the subwoofer.
• Here you can connect the speaker cables directly or with
pin plugs. We only describe the direct connection in these
instructions.
1. Lay the included speaker cables from your subwoofer to
each of the speakers.
Little hint: Label the cables on the subwoofer side – this will

Make sure the polarity is correct!
Connect the like coloured terminals. Otherwise the
sound quality will suffer.
The strands of the speaker cables are marked with different
colours or shapes.
2. Split the single wire down to approx. 30 mm on both ends
and strip approx. 10 mm of insulation off of each cord.
3. Twist the stripped single wire ends together so that no wire
protrudes. Tin coating is not necessary.
4. Turn the connector terminal counterclockwise until loose.
Run the stripped cable end into the now visible hole. Close
the terminal by turning it counterclockwise. The cable has
now been clamped in place.
5. Connect the other cable ends to your satellite speakers. The
operating instructions of the speakers should contain notes
on this.

activated, the power LED 5 is illuminated in
green. In standby mode it is illuminated in red.
Auto On Level
You can adjust the sensitivity for the activation of the subwoofer with the control “AUTO ON LEVEL” 2. Turning the control
in a clockwise direction increases the sensitivity of the auto-on
function. This means that the subwoofer will already be activated by a very low audio signal.

With the control “SUBWOOFER VOLUME” 3 you can set the
volume of the subwoofer
Cleaning and care
Clean the subwoofer regularly with a soft, damp microfi ber
cloth. If possible, only use plain water without any additives. In
case of stubborn marks, a mild soap solution may be used.
Please be absolutely sure to observe the following notes in the
process:
