Motiv 5

Connection: Stereo sources

Connecting the Motiv 5 to stereo sources

Stereo soundcard, notebook, MP3 player, satel-
lite receiver, tV set, games console, CD player, DJ 
mixer, Discman, walkman, etc …

You can see here how universally the Motiv 5 can be 
used. The set can be operated successfully with any 
of the above appliances. And not just in stereo, but 
also  with  virtual  surround  sound,  using  the  inte-
grated “upmix” function that involves all six of the 
Motiv 5’s speakers. This admittedly doesn’t sound as 
perfect as Dolby Digital, but does sound better than 
pure stereo reproduction.
Here’s how it works:

Connect the stereo output of your appliance to 
the  front  left/right  inputs  on  the  rear  connec-
tor panel of the subwoofer. It is possible to use a 
3.5mm mini-jack to stereo cinch adapter. All five 
satellite  boxes  are  connected  to  the  subwoofer 
via  the  speaker  cable.  The  subwoofer  now  pro-
duces  a  mixed  signal  for  all  speakers.  With  this 
type of connection, the four satellites reproduce 
a stereo signal and the centre and the subwoofer 
reproduce a mono signal.

Please note 

No other plugs should be in 

the other sockets on the Motiv 

5-Subwoofers (in Centre, Sub-

woofer, Rear R/L)!

Notebook/laptop

For 5.1 reproduction you usually 

need an external sound card 

with six analogue outputs. Dif-

ferent companies offer solutions 

for connection to the PCMCIA 

port or via USB or FireWire. If 

your notebook already has three 

analogue mini-jack outputs, 

please proceed as described in 

the section “Connecting to a 5.1 

sound card”.
