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.
10
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.
