Dear Lautsprecher Teufel customer, 

Thanks for buying the Concept E Magnum Power 
Edition. With this box set from Teufel you have 
bought a fully miniaturised multimedia home en-
tertainment system that, despite its extremely 
compact dimensions and subtle speaker design, 
delivers excellent sound quality.

This set can be operated either with a mul-
tichannel AV receiver/amplifier (partially active) 
or independently, without an additional amplifier 
(fully active) through a PC or DVD player with 
decoder. Stereo sources, such as MP3 players, 
satellite receivers, TV sets, games consoles, CD 
players or DJ mixers, can also be used very suc-
cessfully with the Concept E Magnum.

The Concept E Magnum subwoofer has six 
integrated power amplifiers. One for the bass 
speaker and five for the satellites. There is an 
analogue 5.1 input on the back for direct con-
nection of compatible sound cards, DVD players 
or receivers with subwoofer/pre-out output.

Because the set-up has a decisive influence 
on the sound characteristics of any surround 
system, we recommend that you take the time 
to position all of the speakers correctly. These 
operating instructions contain all of the infor-
mation necessary for the correct setting up 
and operation of our Concept E Magnum home 
cinema set.

Before operation please read these instruc-
tions carefully and store them in a safe place for 
future reference. We recommend that you keep 
the packaging.

Please take a note of the serial number that can 
be found on a sticker on the box and the invoice 
number here:

The serial number and the invoice number make 
it easier for us to process your request quickly if 
you require service. 

If you encounter difficulties during operation or 
if you think that there is something wrong with 
the appliance, please read the “Frequently Asked 
Questions” category on pages 18 to 21 carefully. 
You can find answers here to the most frequently 
asked questions.
