Please check the connections between LS 230e and your TV.
If you are using a digital output from your TV please confirm if it is activated on the menu
from your TV.
Please confirm that the correct audio source from LS 230e is correctly chosen. You can
chose it with the remote control. The selected audio source will be shown in the display
from LS 230e.
If you are using the digital input please confirm that PCM (digital stereo signal) audio
source is selected in your TV.
Please check if MUTE function is activated in your TV. If yes, please deactivate it otherwise
there will be no audio transmission to LS 230e.
Please confirm which volume level you have selected in your TV. If you select a low volume
level it will not allow that LS 230e has a good sound performance. Volume level from TV
shall be above 2/3 from maximum volume. We suggest that you select TV volume level
at almost maximum level.
If you are using digital inputs please confirm that you have selected PCM (digital stereo
signal) audio source in your TV.
Please confirm if the LS 230e speakers are working simultaneously with TV speakers: this
can originate a poor sound performance. Please check the instruction manual from your
TV to change it.
Many TVs have their own equalizer. Some TVs allow to make individual sound adjustments
for each output signal. Please confirm if they are activated and please change them in the
menu from your TV.

LS 230e complies with the latest EU energy efficiency directive: it will automatically
switch into stand-by mode in case of low or no audio signal input. Please verify which
is the volume level from the audio source.
Your individual audio settings will be memorized if LS 230e is in stand-by mode (power
consumption <1 Watt). If you switch off LS 230e it may be necessary that you have to
adjust again the audio settings after you turn on the device.
The optical cable
slips from the
optical input
Please click the optical cable and make pressure to avoid that it slips away.
LS 230e has following audio inputs:
• Analogue stereo input
• Digital coaxial input
• Digital optical input
It will depend on the signal source that you have (TV, audio system, etc.) which audio input you shall use. The
majority from modern TV sets have for example an analogue headphone jack and a digital audio output (coaxial
digital or optical digital depending on the model/brand). We suggest that you use the digital output. Please do not
forget that it shall be activated and connected in the menu from your audio source.
