Cleaning
Only clean the unit with a damp, soft and clean cloth (without using any kind of
harsh cleaning agent).
Disposal
Cardboard box and packaging
In line with national regulations regarding the disposal of packaging materi-
als, we pay a fee to authorised recyclers who collect packaging from dealers.
Nevertheless, we recommend that you keep the original cardboard box and the
rest of the packaging materials so that the unit can, if necessary, be transported
in the safest possible conditions.
The unit
Attention:
The EU Directive 2002/96/EC governs the proper
return, handling and recycling of used electronic appliances.
Old electronic appliances must therefore be disposed of
separately. Never dispose of this unit in the normal domestic
waste! You can hand in your old unit free of charge at identi-
À
ed collection points or to your dealer if you buy a similar new
unit. Other details on collection (also for non-EU countries) are
available from your local authorities.
Setting up the subwoofer
Basic information
• Place the unit on a stable, even surface.
• Do not set up the unit near strong heat sources or in direct sunlight.
• When installing in a cabinet or closed shelf, leave about 10 cm free around
the unit to allow the air to circulate freely, thereby avoiding a build-up of heat
and sound pressure.
• Disconnect the mains plug during thunderstorms. Surge voltages caused by
lightning strikes can damage the unit through the antenna system and the
mains.
• If the unit is not to be used for an extended period, the plug should also be
disconnected from the mains.
• The mains plug must be easily accessible so that the unit can be disconnected
from the mains at any time.
• Lay the speaker and power cables in such a way that they cannot be dam-
aged. The power cable may not be kinked or laid over sharp edges, stood on
or exposed to ch e m ic al s ; the latter also applies to the system as a whole. A
power cable with dam aged insulation can cause electric shocks and poses a
À
re risk. As such, it must be changed before the unit is used again.
• When unplugging the unit from the mains, pull the pl ug ho usin g and not the
cable. The cables in the mains plug could otherwise be damaged and could
cause a short-circuit when being plugged in again.
• The speakers generate stray magnetic
À
elds which act in the vicinity of the
housing. We recommend a minimum distance of > 0.5 m from magnetically
sensitive equipment such as CRT TV sets, magnetic data media, etc.
Subwoofer
You can position the subwoofer anywhere on the
Á
oor.
We recommend the front area of the room in a way that the basses can freely
Á
ow to the sides and downwards.
Important:
Never obstruct the air vents on the back of the subwoofer. Make
sure it is far enough away (> 10 cm) from the
Á
oor or wall.
