Please read this chapter carefully and follow all instructions. In doing so you
will ensure the reliable operation of and a long life for your 5.1 speaker sys-
tem. Keep the manual close to your 5.1 system. Store the manual safely so
that you can pass it on to the new owner should you sell your speakers.
OPERATIONAL SAFETY
•Never open the housing of the 5.1 system, the speak-
ers or the power adapter! There is life threatening danger
by electric shock, if the housing of the power adapter is
opened. There are no serviceable parts inside.
•Children should never play unattended with electrical
equipment.
Children cannot always recognise potential hazards prop-
erly.
•This 5.1 system is not designed for operation in a heavy
industrial environment.
LOCATION
Follow these instructions to connect your 5.1 system properly:
A power supply socket must be close to the device and easily acces-
sible. Run cables in a way that no one can step or trip over them.
The power supply to your device is interrupted only, when the
power plug is removed from the power socket. If you switch off
the device using the power switch, then the power feed is not inter-
rupted. Always hold the plug firmly when removing it. To avoid
product damage never pull by the power cord.
Operate the power adapter only on grounded power outlets with
240V~50Hz. When in doubt about the power type at your location, con-
tact the related power utility company.
To avoid damage never place any objects on the power cord.
Do not expose your 5.1 system, the loudspeakers or any connected devices
to humidity. Avoid dust, heat and exposure to direct sunlight to pre-
vent operating failure.
Place and operate all the components on a stable and flat surface, free
of vibrations, to prevent the loudspeakers from tumbling.
Only use in a suitable ambient temperature:

AMBIENT TEMPERATURE
The 5.1 system can be operated in an ambient temperature range between
0° C to 40° C and a relative humidity between 20% - 80% (non-
condensing). When switched off the 5.1 system can be stored between -20°
C and 70° C and at a relative humidity between 20% - 90% (non-
condensing).
ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPLIANCE
The guidelines for electromagnetic compliance (EMC) must be
obeyed when operating the speakers.
Only use the supplied power cord.
Keep a distance of at least three feet from sources of high fre-
quency or magnetic interference (TV sets, other loudspeakers, mo-
bile phones, etc.) to avoid interference, malfunction and data loss.

With this 5.1 System you can reproduce surround sound effects.
To reproduce these surround effects the following conditions must be
met:
the medium (usually DVD film) must support surround sound.
ÂRemark: Depending on the movie title surround sound
effects may vary in intensity.
the connected source (DVD-player, sound card, etc) must support the
required connections and functions.
Furthermore, your 5.1 system must be properly connected and posi-
tioned, so that the optimal surround effect can be heard:
POSITIONING THE 5.1 SYSTEM
Position the loudspeakers in such a way, that the audience is in the centre.
The satellite speakers may be distributed freely. The two rear satellite
speakers have longer cables, so that they can be positioned according to
the space in the room:
Loudspeaker Connection
(see page 6) Description
Front left 5, Front L
Front right 6, Front R For sound from the front
Rear left 7, Rear L
Rear right 8, Rear R For sound from the rear
Centre 9, Center For sound in the centre
Subwoofer (integrated) This position may vary - people cannot
locate the source of deep frequencies.

CONNECTING THE 5.1 SYSTEM
Note the instructions in the chapter „Safety and Service“ (pages
2 and following).
1. CONNECTING THE LOUDSPEAKERS
After having positioned the components connect the cables of the
loudspeakers. Use the drawing on page 6 and the table below as a
guide:
Loudspeaker Connection on the 5.1 System (s. p. 6) Loudspeaker plug
Front left 5, FRONT L – Cinch white Cinch black
Front right 6, FRONT R – Cinch red Cinch black
Rear left 7, REAR L – Cinch white Cinch black
Rear right 8, REAR R – Cinch red Cinch black
Centre 9, CENTER – Cinch yellow Cinch black
2. CONNECTING THE SOUND SOURCE
Your 5.1 system can take input from a sound card, a DVD-player
or another suitable sound source with the corresponding output
connections.
ÂTip: 3.5mm stereo cinch female plugs are required. When not
available, adapters are required.
ÂAttention: Digital connections are not supported and can dam-
age the device.
1. Locate the output connections of the sound source (sound card, DVD-player, etc)
and connect the device with the supplied cables. The connections are usually col-
our-coded.
The colours might vary slightly. Check the user manual of your device as a safe-
guard. Use the table as a guide:
Connection on the 5.1 system (s. p. 6) Connection on the source
2, Front R - Cinch red
2, Front L - Cinch white 3.5mm stereo cinch plug
3, Rear R - Cinch red
3, Rear L - Cinch white 3.5mm stereo cinch plug
4, Center C – white
4, Bass B – red 3.5mm stereo cinch plug
3. CONNECTING THE POWER ADAPTER
Connect the supplied power adapter to the AC In connector on
your 5.1 system (see page 6,)11) and insert the power plug into
an easily accessible power socket. Do NOT switch on the 5.1 sys-
tem yet.

OPERATION AND HANDLING
1. Check, that all volume controls are set to the lowest position. Turn the
controls on the front (s. p. 5 o, p) of the 5.1 system counter-clockwise
until you feel resistance.
2. Switch on your sound source and play a suitable sound.
3. Now switch on the 5.1 system by flipping the power switch (s. p. 6, 12)
into position I/ON. An LED (n) will show to indicate the 5.1 system is
in operation.
4. Switch on the desired source (q) to AUX or 5.1 Input.
5. Turn the volume control of the corresponding speakers carefully clock-
wise until a comfortable volume level is reached and a balanced sound
is achieved. Turning the control counter-clockwise lowers the volume.
6. To turn off the volume, switch off the 5.1 system (position 0/OFF) and
then switch off the sound source.
