Start-up
Set the mains switch
to “on” to switch on the
5.1 amplifier and use the operation mode switch
(“Off/Auto/On”)
to “automatic” mode (middle
setting).
If your PC/DVD player is switched off or is not
sending output to the 5.1 amplifier, the 5.1 ampli-
fier will be in standby mode. The 5.1 amplifier is
automatically switched on when it receives an
audio signal. When the signal stops, it will auto-
matically return to standby mode after around
twenty minutes.
When the operation mode switch
is set to “On”,
the 5.1 amplifier will stay on continually, regard-
less of whether a programme is running or not.
If you are going to be away for a longer period
of time or if the 5.1 amplifier is not being used,
switch the mains switch
to “off ”. Please note
that the volume settings saved on the appliance
will be deleted by disconnecting the mains plug
or switching off the mains switch
.
The “phase” switch
allows you to optimise the
“phase” of your amplifier to the different listen-
ing positions. For a subwoofer position between
the front speakers, we recommend 0°. For a
position near the reception area we recommend
180°. If the subwoofer is in a different position,
the setting at 180º can compensate for reduced
bass reproduction.
Settings with the remote control
It is also possible to make all equalisation set-
tings on the subwoofer of the Concept E Magnum
using the remote control. The display field for
the settings is located on the front of the sub-
woofer.
When the system is in standby mode, the LED un-
der the lettering “POWER” will light up red. When
the subwoofer is in operation, it lights up green.
In this case, the LED under the lettering “MAIN”
lights up red at the same time. The system is now
ready for operation.
Levelling can be done by remote control or on
the subwoofer itself.
Exception: The “MUTE” button is only located on
the remote control. Pressing the button once
immediately mutes the complete system; if you
press it again, the system returns to its previ-
ous operating status. When the system has been
muted, the LED under the word “MUTE” on the
front of the subwoofer lights up continuously in
red.
The “CHANNEL” button goes through each of the
possible control areas of the subwoofer.
Use the [
+
] and [
–
] keys to set each required
level. You should ensure that all of the speakers
located around the reception area achieve the
same level. In order to achieve this, it is best to
use an equalization measuring device and the
sound/signal generator built into the DVD player/
AV receiver.
The level set is automatically saved by the sub-
woofer.

The red LED marks the control area chosen each
time.
