UNPACKING THE UNITS
Please make sure that all items are enclosed. Should any of the contents be missing, please contact your dealer.
Contents The shipping carton contains:
•2 packaging containers (surround processor and power supply unit)
•1 base plate
•4 carbon fiber springs
•1 power cord
•1 connecting cable, power supply unit to basic unit (power supply cable)
•1 remote control
•1 owner’s manual
Packaging We recommend keeping the original packaging material in case of a move or future
shipping.
SETTING UP THE UNITS
Carefully remove the surround processor and the power supply unit from the shipping cartons and set the units up in
appropriate places. Please make sure that the ventilation slits on the sides of the units remain unobstructed, so that
air ventilation is ensured.
In order to minimize undesired modulations, the power supply unit should not be set up in the immediate vicinity of
the surround processor or other components of your system, incl. connecting and power supply cables.
Set up variations
The feet of the surround processor are constructed as spikes. They can either be placed directly on the aluminum of
the base plate or on the supplied carbon fiber springs. Using the carbon fiber springs additionally decouples the
entire housing acoustically from the ground surface.
We recommend placing the surround processor onto the base plate (8) with the carbon fiber springs.

COMMENCING OPERATION
Make sure that the MAINS switch (43) on the rear of the power supply unit and the POWER switch (17) on front of
the surround processor are set to OFF.
Connect the two units with the supplied power supply cable.
Carefully insert one end of the cable into the POWER SUPPLY jack (19) on the rear of the surround processor.
Make sure that the spigot of the plug is securely in the guide groove of the jack. Then screw the plug tight. Now
connect the other end of the cable in the same way with the POWER SUPPLY jack (51) on the rear of the power
supply unit.
Connect all other components of your system with the units.
Connect the power cable with the MAINS socket (42) on the rear of the power supply unit. Then plug the power cord
into the power outlet.
Switch the MAINS switch (43) on the rear of the power supply unit to ON - the POWER SUPPLY LED (38) of the
power supply unit illuminates green.
Switch the POWER switch (17) on front of the surround processor to ON (upper position) - the POWER LED (18)
above the POWER switch and the POWER SUPPLY LED (38) of the power supply unit will now illuminate red. The
display will show at least the selected input (left) and the selected volume (right).
The surround processor is now ready for operation.
GENERAL ADVICE
Reset If the unit does not respond to the control buttons, it can be reset to normal operating
conditions by switching it off and back on using the MAINS switch (43) on the rear of the
power supply unit.
Lightning During the summer months, malfunctions often occur due to voltage spikes in the power
lines after lightning strikes. Completely unplugging the power cord offers the only effective
protection. Merely switching the MAINS switch (43) off does not suffice, since voltage
spikes are able to arc over seperated contacts.
Interconnects We custom-make balanced and unbalanced interconnect cables of any length to ensure
highest-quality signal paths for the surround processor 007. The impedance of our cables is
ideally matched to all Burmester components. For optimum power supply we recommend
our triple-shielded power cord BURMESTER POWER.
Fuses The fuses are located inside the unit and should only be changed by an expert.
MAINS voltage The bridge for selecting MAINS voltage is located inside the unit. Any neccessary
adjustments of the setting should only be performed by an authorized dealer.
PLEASE NOTE: Always unplug the AC cord before removing the housing cover - risk of electric shock!
