Setting up the system

You can mount the speakers of your new home cinema system on a plane and stable

surface. You can, however, also hang up the centre, surround and front boxes on the wall.

The back sides of the satellite boxes have an according hanging possibility. 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. That is why you should see to it that only

this box is mounted close to the TV as otherwise this can lead to slight colour distortions of

the TV picture.

If you want to position the front speaker boxes on a surface please mount the pedestals

provided on the bottom side of the front speakers using the screws enclosed.

The Remote Control

Take out the remote control handset from the package. Open the battery compartment.

Insert two batteries (1,5 V, size AAA). Please make sure the polarity matches the marks

inside the compartment. Otherwise the r/c will not work and may be damaged. Replace the

cover.

Should the r/c start to work unreliably replace both batteries. We recommend using alcaline

batteries. Please point the r/c towards the main unit when calling up functions. No obstacles

may stand in the way between r/c and infrared sensor. The green operation LED will flash

when the unit receives signals from the remote control.

If you won’t use the r/c for a week or longer, please remove the batteries from the

compartment, to prevent damage by leakage.

Batteries must not be disposed by ordinary refuse disposal. Please lead empty

batteries towards appropriate collecting points. Never throw batteries into fire.
