Setup and Connection
Setup Location
Simply place your TV set on the Cinebase.
CAUTION
Pay attention to the maximum carrying capacity of
the Cinebase of 60 kg in the process.
Location tips
• Select a stable, level base whose carrying capacity
is adequate for the Cinebase and the TV set.
• Make sure that the environment is dry and free
from dust.
• Select a location away from heat sources and direct
sunlight.
• Lay the connector cables so that they do not pose a
tripping hazard.
• Do not place any heavy objects on the cables.
Setting the HDMI Operating Mode
Control signals are also transmitted via a HDMI con-
nection in addition to audio and video data. Your new
Cinebase uses the functions
CEC
and
ARC
:
CEC
(
C
onsumer
E
lectronics
C
ontrol)
This function makes it possible to control devices via
the HDMI connection. Thus, the Cinebase is switched
on and to standby with the TV set. With many TV sets,
you can also use the TV set's remote control to set the
volume of the Cinebase.
ARC
(
A
udio

hannel): TV sets equipped with
an ARC-capable HDMI jack can emit audio from the
television via this HDMI jack and an ARC-capable
HDMI cable. If your TV set has this capability, you
do not require any additional cables in order to play
television audio on your Cinebase.
These functions must be activated on the menu with
some TV-sets – please refer to the instruction manual
of your TV-set in this case.
To ensure that your new Cinebase works perfectly
with your TV set, use the HDMI MODE switch
(1)
to set
these functions.
NOTE
Make sure that before moving the HDMI MODE
switch
(1)
, the Cinebase is turned on. When the unit
is off or in standby mode, the switch does not work.
Move the HDMI MODE
(1)
switch to the desired posi-
tion:
• ARC + CEC OFF – ARC and CEC deactivated.
• CEC ON (centre) – CEC activated, ARC deactivated.
• ARC + CEC ON (right) – ARC and CEC activated.
Connecting
TV set
Connect your TV set to the HDMI TV jack
(3)
using an
HDMI cable.
If your TV set is not ARC-capable (see previous
section), you can transmit the television audio to the
Cinebase as an optical-digital or analogue signal:
Optical-digital
: Connect the optical output of the TV
set to the OPTICAL IN jack
(5)
using an optical cable
with a Toslink plug.
Analogue
: Connect the audio output of the TV set
with the ANALOG IN jacks
(6)
using a RCA cable.
Other source devices
You can use the unoccupied port(s)
(5)
and
(6)
to con-
nect other source devices (e.g. CD or MP3 players).
External HDMI device
Normally, you should connect the HDMI source devic-
es to your TV-set.
If your TV-set only has one HDMI jack and/or the
television audio is only transmitted as an audio signal,
you can connect an HDMI device (e.g. a game con-
sole) to the HDMI IN jack
(2)
. The Cinebase will play
back its audio with digital quality and send the video
signals to the television set via HDMI TV.
Power supply
Use the enclosed mains cable to connect the jack
(7)
with the mains. Make sure that the socket is easily
accessible.
