Motiv 5

“The set loses its settings when I switch it off 
completely” 

This  is  normal.  The  mains  switch  and  the  mains 
plug disconnect the subwoofer from the electric-
ity supply and mean that the settings are lost. We 
therefore recommend using standby mode on a 
separate supply – this will ensure all of your set-
tings are kept.
We consider it a good idea to make all of the in-
terrelated settings for the individual channels (= 
all  except  master  volume  and,  where  applicable, 
subwoofers) on the AV receiver, DVD player or PC 
sound card driver software, not on the Motiv 5.

“When I switch the PC on or off I can hear a 
loud snapping or crackling.” 

The  speaker  system  reproduces  any  kind  of 
acoustic  signal  that  it  receives  from  the  signal 
source.  It  cannot  differentiate  between  useful 
and disruptive signals. When the PC’s sound card 
transfers the on/off impulses to the box set, the 
speakers will reproduce it. These will not usually 
damage your speakers. Nevertheless, we recom-
mend minimising the volume using the PC’s soft-
ware before switching off, in order to limit these 
strong impulses.

Basic function test

You can check the function of the subwoofer and 
the satellites by only connecting the (stereo) sig-
nal from an external source that is guaranteed to 
be good quality – such as a music CD played on a 
(portable) CD player – via a cinch cable (and pos-
sibly a Y adaptor) with the front input L/R on the 
subwoofer.
The  other  four  inputs  on  the  subwoofer  do  not 
need to be occupied (= cinch cable disconnected). 
Using this connection set-up for front in L/R, the 
Motiv 5 amplifier activates all satellites and the 
subwoofer via internal distribution.
If  the  subwoofer  and  all  five  satellites  now  play 
the  signal  from  a  directly  connected  CD  player 
properly, the Motiv 5 was not receiving the cor-
rect signal before.
Either the cinch cable is defective (try exchang-
ing it) or the output of your source appliance is 
not producing the correct signal.
If  you  continue  to  experience  unwanted  noise/
individual malfunctions, there is possibly a defect 
in the Teufel system.

Cleaning

To make sure you are able to enjoy your product 
from Lautsprecher Teufel for a long time, please 
note the following tips:

Do not expose the casing to direct sunlight.

Avoid extreme temperature differences and pro-
tect your speakers from moisture.

When  cleaning  the  speaker,  only  use  a  slightly 
damp or dry cloth. Abrasive cleaners and products 
that  contain  alcohol  should  be  avoided.  Remove 
dust from the membrane very carefully with a dry 
cloth.
