Safety information

Important:

Please read through these operating instructions

very carefully. It is essential that you take note of all of the sa

fety information and operating instructions before switching
on the appliance. Please keep these operating instructions in a
safe place for future reference.

Important:

Please read the operating instructions. You should

also follow all instructions for start-up and ongoing use.

Information on cleaning:

Please do not attempt to clean the

appliance using household chemicals because they could dama

ge its surface. Simply use a dry cloth. Disconnect the appliance

from the mains before cleaning.

Caution - moisture and sunlight:

Never operate the devices

in damp rooms, i.e. close to baths, showers, wash basins, drains,
damp cellars or swimming pools; never use them where there
is moisture. Never expose the speakers to high air humidity

and avoid direct 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 device unsecured in

vehicles, in unstable places, on wobbly tripods or furniture or
supports that are too small. The speakers could fall and cause
damage to people, including yourself. Speakers, particularly if
positioned on stands or on the TV/monitor, may fall and cause
damage due to their weight, even if they have been positioned
securely and stably, as a result of external influences (pulling
on the cable, tripping over the cable, unintentional physical
contact). This also applies to wall supports that have been at

tached inappropriately or incorrectly to walls that may not be
capable of supporting their weight. Only use suitable wall bra

ckets for mounting. Make sure that you know how much weight

the walls can bear. The device 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, such
as fan heaters or candles, should not be placed on the speakers.

For ventilation:

Slits and openings in the case have been pro

vided  for  ventilation.  Their  purpose  is  to  guarantee  reliable
operation  and  to  prevent  the  device  from  overheating.  These
openings must not be blocked or covered, including by placing
the device on a bed, sofa, carpet or other soft surface. Do not
place  any  newspapers  or  table  cloths,  etc.  on  the  device.  The
cooling plate of the amplifier electronics must not be covered
or exposed to direct sunlight. Additional active cooling of the
device is generally not permitted.

Electrical supply:

The subwoofer 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 sup

ply in your home, please contact us or your electricity supplier

for more information. The device does not need to be groun-

ded. Please only use the appropriate two-core mains cable for

connecting to the mains socket. This mains cable must not be

modified under any circumstances. Regulations on polarity and
ground connection must complied with. Only use an appropriate
mains plug for receiving the mains cable. Make sure the power
switch is in the »off« position before connecting or disconnec

ting the device.

Information on wiring:

Please place the supply cable flat and

flush to the wall and floor. Cables that are laid loosely represent
a risk of tripping. This could also result in interference and cau

se 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. The
power supply cable and the cables that connect the speakers
should be checked regularly for insulation faults or breaks. If

a fault is discovered, the device and the cabling must be dis

connected from the mains immediately and the defective cable

must be replaced.

During periods without use:

Remove the subwoofer’s power

supply cable from the socket for longer periods of absence or

non-use.

During thunderstorms:

In order to avoid damage caused by

lightning strikes, the appliance should be switched off and also

detached from the mains socket as soon as a thunderstorm is

expected.

Risk of overload:

You should not overload wall sockets, exten

sion cables or integrated appliance sockets, because this could
potentially lead to short circuits and even fires. You should also
avoid turning up the volume very high on the relevant amplifier,
especially if you have increased the bass using the bass control,
the loudness button or one of the deep bass boost switches.

Foreign bodies and liquids:

Foreign bodies and liquids may not

penetrate the device through 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. Do
not attempt to repair the device yourself. The device must be
sent to our service department for repair.

Unusual sounds:

If any unusual sounds occur during use or the

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

Connecting and changing the fuse:

Disconnect the mains plug. A faulty fuse may only be exchanged
for one of the same type.

Information on volume:

Loud noises can damage hearing.

Sudden high pressure may occur, particularly if a subwoofer
in “Standby/Auto On” mode is switched on at full volume by a
bass impulse. 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 si

gnal source device to the lowest level. At high volumes, always
keep a certain distance from the device and never place your
ears right next to the speaker.

Please read the following

safety information carefully.

Risk of suffocation – keep

packaging materials

(e.g. the plastic film) out of the

reach and sight of children.

Risk of electrocution – do not

leave children unsupervised with

electrical devices!

In case of emergency:

If any of the following occur,

disconnect the device from the
mains and consult our techni-
