FAQ
The loudspeakers don‘t work
Be sure that the on/off switch on the loudspeaker was
pressed and that the wall socket that you are using is live.
Ensure that no devices or cables are plugged in to the
headphone output socket.
If this does not solve the problem, check your computer‘s
sound settings.
Windows XP
Windows Vista
Check that the sound card you are using is the default
device for sound playback under „Sounds and Audio
Devices“ (XP) or „Sound“ (Vista) in the control panel and
that there is no checkmark next to the „Mute“ function.
The sound is distorted
Check that the green jack plug is inserted fully into the
sound card‘s socket and does not stick out.
Check that you have made the settings in your operating
system as described in „Settings with Windows XP“ or
„Settings with Windows Vista“.
Safety notes:
• Use the loudspeakers only in closed, dry spaces.
• Be sure that the mains power supply is 230 V/50 Hz.
• Route the cables so that no one will walk on or trip
over them and so that they are not damaged by objects
lying on top of them.
• Do not allow objects such as paper clips, etc. to fall
into the speaker, since they may cause a short circuit.
• Keep all liquids away.
• Use only a dry cloth for cleaning. If the unit is
extremely soiled, use a slightly dampened cloth.
• Switching off the on/off switch does not disconnect
the speaker from the mains voltage. The mains plug
must be pulled out of the wall socket in order to
disconnect the speakers from the mains voltage
completely.
• Repair work may only be performed by authorized
technicians.
