Safety and Service
Please read this chapter carefully and follow all instructions. By doing so
you will ensure reliable operation and a long life of your 2.1 speaker system.
Keep the manual close to your 2.1 system. Store the manual safely so that
you can pass it on to the new owner should you sell your speakers.
Operational Safety
Never open the housing of the 2.1 system, the
speakers or the power adapter! There is life threatening
danger by electric shock if the housing of the power
adapter is opened. There are no serviceable parts in-
side.
Children should never play unattended with electrical
equipment. Children cannot always recognise potential
hazards properly.
This 2.1 system is not designed for operation in a
heavy industrial environment.
Location
In the first hours of operation, new devices may emit a typical, unavoidable
but completely harmless smell, which will decline increasingly in the course
of time. We recommend that you ventilate the room regularly, in order to
counteract the formation of the smell. During the development of this prod-
uct, we have made sure that, it is clearly below the applicable limits.
Do not expose the device or any connected devices to humidity. Avoid dust,
heat and exposure to direct sunlight to prevent operating failure.
The device must not be subjected to drops of water or spray. Do not put
any containers (vases or similar) filled with liquid on the device. The con-
tainer can fall over and liquid can impair electrical safety.
Do not put any open sources of fire (candles or similar0 on the device or in
its immediate vicinity.
Pay attention to large distances from the sides of furniture. Maintain a
minimum distance of 10 cm around the device for sufficient ventilation.
Place and operate all the components on a stable and flat surface, free of
vibrations, to prevent the loudspeakers from falling.

Operating safety
Children should be supervised, to ensure that they do not play with the de-
vice. This device is not intended to be used by individuals (including chil-
dren) with restricted physical, sensory or intellectual abilities or with a lack
of experience and or knowledge, unless they are supervised by an individ-
ual responsible for their safety or have received instructions about how the
device must be used from such an individual.
Keep the packaging material, such as foil, away from children. There will be
a danger of suffocation in the case of misuse.
Never open the casing of the device to avoid danger (electrical shock,
short-circuit and danger of fire).
Do not put any objects into the device through the slots and openings (elec-
trical shock, short-circuit and danger of fire).
The slots and openings of the device serve ventilation. Do not cover these
openings (overheating, danger of fire).
Electricity supply
ATTENTION! Parts of the device will be subject to voltage even when it is
switched off. Separate the device from the mains completely to interrupt
the electricity supply to your device or to switch it free of voltage completely.
The plug-in power pack will consume electricity even when the device is
switched off. Detach the plug-in power pack from of the socket to interrupt
the electricity supply.
Operate the power adapter only on grounded power outlets with
AC 230V ~ 50 Hz. When in doubt about the power type at your location,
contact the related power utility company.
We recommend the use of protection against excess voltage, to protect the
device against damage by voltage peaks or lightning strike from the electric-
ity network, for additional safety.
A power supply socket must be close to the device and easily accessible.
Run cables in a way that no one can step or trip over them.
Use the plug-in power pack supplied with the device exclusively. Never
attempt to connect the jack of the plug-in power pack to other sockets, be-
cause damage can be caused otherwise.
To avoid damage never place any objects on the power cord.

cleaning.
Do not use solvents or aerosol detergents.
Disposal
Packaging
All packaging and packaging materials that are no longer required

Setting Up
Connecting the 2.1 System
Note the instructions in the chapter “Safety and Service” (pages 1 and

2. Connecting to a Sound Source
Your 2.1 system can take input from a sound card with the corresponding
output connections. These are usually indicated with ‘Line out’ or ‘Speaker out’
and have a green colour indication as a rule. Read the operating instructions of
your computer in the case of doubt.
Note: Use the audio cable for connecting the audio connection
cable. You will have to use an appropriate adapter, if neces-
sary, if this is not possible.
Attention! Digital connections are not supported and can
damage the device.
Locate the output of the computer and connect it to the AUDIO INPUT 3 audio
input on the 2.1 system by means of a 3.5 mm stereo phono connector.
The connections are usually indicated by colour. It can be that the colours
vary slightly. Refer to the operating instructions of your respective device to
be certain.
3. Connecting the Power Adapter
Connect the supplied power adapter to the DC 15V 2A 5 connector on your
2.1 system and insert the power plug into an easily accessible power
socket. Do NOT switch on the 2.1 system yet.
Operation
1. Check that all volume controls are set to the lowest position. Turn the
control of the loudspeakers 1 und 2 of the 2.1 system to the left, until
a resistance has been overcome to do this.
2. Switch on your sound source and play a suitable sound.
3. Now, supply your 2.1 system with electricity, by turning the loud-
speaker control 2 to the right, until a resistance has been overcome.
The casings of the loudspeakers will shine blue as a sign that your
system is being supplied with electricity.
4. Now turn the volume controls of the loudspeaker boxes 2 and of the
subwoofer 1 carefully to the right, until a comfortable volume and a
balanced acoustic pattern has been reached. You will reduce the
volume by turning the control to the left.
Take the volume back to the OFF position and then switch off the source of
the sound, if you wish to end operation. The electricity supply will not be
interrupted by turning the loudspeaker control back 2.

Service
Support in the Event of a Malfunction
Malfunctions can sometimes be caused by trivial issues and sometimes be
complex in nature and require thorough analysis.
Start with a careful visual inspection of all cable connections. If the
indicators are not lit, then check whether the 2.1 system is properly
supplied with power.
Switch off the device and check all cable connections. When you are
certain that the supply of power operates flawlessly and that all con-
nections are correct, switch on the device again.
If the sound is distorted or too low, then adjust the volume controls
until the desired volume level is obtained.
If you do not hear any sound, then this could be caused because:
the speakers are without power (wrong cabling).
the volume control is turned down.
sound output is deactivated, muted or faulty (wrong format).
Do You Require Additional Support?
If the suggestions in the previous section did not solve your problem, please
contact us. It would help us if you could supply the following information:
Are you using any other peripheral devices?
Which steps have you already taken to solve the problem?
If you have already received a customer number, please supply it to
