Decoderstation 5

Important:

Please read through these operating instruc-

tions very carefully! It is essential that you take note of all
of the safety information and operating instructions before
switching on the appliance. Please keep these operating in-
structions in a safe place for future reference.

Essential:

Please read the operating instructions. You should

also follow all instructions for start-up and ongoing use

Caution – moisture and sunlight:

Never operate the appli-

ances in damp rooms, i.e. near baths, showers, wash basins,
drains, in damp cellars or next to swimming pools. Never
expose the device to high humidity and do not place it in di-
rect sunlight. Do not expose device to dripping or splashing
water. Do not place objects filled with liquids, such as vases
on the device.

Information on location:

Do not use the appliances un-

secured in vehicles, in unstable places, on wobbly stands or
furniture or supports that are too small. The speakers could
fall down and injure people, including you. The appliance must
not be placed near sources of heat. This includes radiators
and heaters, ovens and other appliances that emit heat (e.g.
amplifiers). Sources of heat may not be placed on the appli-
ance e.g. fan heaters or candles.

Ventilation:

Any slits and openings in the casing have been

provided for ventilation. Their purpose is to guarantee reliable
operation and to prevent the appliance from overheating. These
openings must not be blocked or covered, including by placing
the appliance on a bed, sofa, carpet or other soft surface. Do
not place any newspapers or table cloths, etc. on the appliance.
Additional active cooling of the appliance is generally not per-
mitted.

Electrical supply:

The appliance must only be supplied from

a power source with the correct voltage, as specified on the
identification  label.  If  you  are  unsure  about  the  electricity
supply  in  your  home,  please  contact  us  or  your  electricity
supplier for more information. Only the mains adapter pro-
vided  should  be  used  for  the  electricity  supply.  This  mains
adapter must not be modified under any circumstances. Re-
gulations on polarity and earth connection must be adhered
to. Only use an appropriate mains plug for the mains cable.

Information on wiring:

Please place the power cord flat and

flush to the wall and floor. Cables that are laid loosely present
a trip hazard. This could also result in interference and cause
the sound to be disrupted. The electricity supply cable should
be laid so that it is not likely to be stepped on or squashed
from the sides or above by heavy objects. Damaged cables
must be replaced. Pay particular attention to the cable/plug
connection, the mains socket and the cable output from the
subwoofer. If a fault is discovered, the appliance and the ca-
bling must be disconnected from the mains immediately and
the defective cable must be replaced.
Remove the appliance’s power supply cable from the socket
for longer periods of absence or non-use.

Batteries:

Be sure to insert the batteries with correct posi-

tive (+) and negative (-) polarities. Use batteries of the same
type; never use different types of batteries together. If the

batteries leak remove them immediately and wipe away the
liquid inside the battery compartment. Risk of explosion! Ne-
ver throw batteries in a fire. Batteries must not be exposed
to sun or heat.

During thunderstorms:

In order to avoid damage caused by

lightning strikes, the appliance should be switched off and
also unplugged from the mains socket as soon as a thunder-
storm is expected.

Risk of overload:

You should not overload wall sockets, ex-

tension cables or integrated appliance sockets, because this
could potentially lead to short circuits and even fires. Avoid
turning up the volume control very high even when using a
compatible amplifier.

Foreign bodies and liquids:

Foreign bodies and liquids must

not get into the appliance via its openings under any circum-
stances, as they could come into contact with parts carrying
high voltages, which could then cause short circuits and fires.
Therefore, do not spill any liquids of any kind on the device.

Troubleshooting:

Do not attempt to repair the appliance

yourself. Contact our service department first for autho-
risation, if you think that you can repair the fault yourself.
Otherwise the appliance must be sent in for testing.

Unusual sounds:

Any unusual sounds occur during use or the

sound becomes distorted, the speaker output must be red-
uced immediately so that the system plays an undistorted
sound.

Information on volume:

Loud noises can damage hearing.

Sudden high sound pressure may be created, particularly if
a subwoofer in »Standby/Auto On« mode is switched on by a
bass impulse at full volume. In addition to physical damage,
please be aware of possible psychological consequences.
Children and pets require particular care. If necessary, set
the volume control of your signal source device or amplifier
to a low level. At high volumes, always keep a certain distance
from the appliance and never have your ears right next to
the speaker.
