Setting up the system

You can setup the centre speaker of your new home cinema system on a plane and stable

surface. The stand of the subwoofer should be located close to a properly connected power

socket. In order to ensure a sufficient ventilation, the subwoofer must not be operated

behind curtains or the like. Possible ventilation openings of the devices must not be covered

by newspapers, curtains etc. The centre speaker is magnetically shielded and may be

operated near a TV set without any negative influence to the TV picture.

The right and the left speaker transmit the stereo channels and the centre speaker

transmits a type of summed signal from the other two speakers. If you have connected an

audio source in 5.1-channel format, the centre speaker will transmit the centre signals. The

surround channels, for which no individual speakers are provided, are combined and

transmitted as one surround sound.

Radio mode

1. If you have switched to radio mode, a frequency value is shown on the display. If “M” for

MHz (megahertz) is displayed, the FM band is active. If “

KH” for kHz (kilohertz) is

displayed, the MW band is active. You can switch between the two frequencies via the

FM/AM key on the remote control or via the system.

2. Use the SCAN “+” / “—“ keys to select the channels. Press the SCAN “+” key repeatedly

for a short period of time to search for radio channels, which broadcast on a higher

frequency than the one currently displayed. Press the SCAN “—” key repeatedly for a

short period of time to search for radio channels, which broadcast on a lower frequency

than the one currently displayed. If the SCAN “+” or “—“ key is pressed for a second, the

upward or downward channel search will start. When the system has found a radio

channel with sufficient signal strength, the channel search is stopped and the channel is

played back.

3. FM channels usually broadcast in stereo. During difficult reception conditions, a FM

channel may be broadcast with a little noise or other disturbances. If this is the case,

switch to mono mode via the ST / MO key to eliminate as much of the noise as possible.

After the switching process, the mode “MONO” or “STEREO” is shown on the display for

some seconds.

4. You can store your favourite radio channels to up to 20 pre-set memory locations per

radio band, so you can activate them at the touch of a key. This is done in the following

way:

• Tune the desired radio channel as was described above.

• Press the MEMORY key to start the storing process.

• Enter the desired pre-set memory location from 0 – 9 via the numerical keys of the

remote control within 3 seconds. The display then shows MEM 0X and the radio channel is

now stored to the desired memory location. In order to store to a pre-set memory

location between 10 and 20, press the +10 key once and then the desired numerical key.

Example: In order to store to pre-set memory location 15, press the +10 key and then

key “5”.

5. You select the stored radio channels by activating the desired pre-set memory location

via the numerical keys on the remote control. In case of two-digit memory locations use

the +10 key.

You can switch off the sound of the system via the MUTE key. During this mode, the display

will constantly show “

MUTE”. Press the “MUTE” key again to switch on the sound.
