Disconnect the wall adapter immediately and do not
use the device if its case or the mains adapter are
defective or if there is other visible damage.
• This device is disconnected from the grid by pulling
the wall adapter . Therefore, make sure that the wall
adapter is always easily accessible.
• If the device emits smoke, smells burnt or produces
unusual sounds, immediately pull the wall adapter
and do not operate it further.
• Never open the device housing.
Repairs may only be carried out by an authorised
specialist workshop. Only parts that comply with the
original signification may be used.

manufacturer.
• Only use the device in indoor areas.
• Do not operate the device in wet rooms and protect
it from dripping and splash water.
Make sure that no vases or other vessels filled with

Children can become trapped in the packing film
when playing and suffocate.
• Do not allow children to play with the device or the
packing film. Danger of suffocation.
• Ensure that children do not remove small parts
from the device or take them off of the device (e.g.
control knobs or plug adapters). They could swallow
the parts and choke.
• Never let children use electrical equipment unsu-
pervised.
Swallowing the remote control's battery may result
in severe internal injury or even death.
• Store both new and used batteries so that they are
not accessible to children.

that it is not accessible for children.
• If you suspect that a battery has been swallowed or
otherwise incorporated, promptly consult a physi-
cian.

5• DecoderStation 6
Extended listening at high volumes may
lead to hearing loss.
• To avoid damage to health, avoid extended listening
at high volumes.
• When the volume is set high, always keep a certain
distance and never place your ear directly on the
speaker.
• If a speaker is set to full volume, this may produce
very high sound pressure. This may have psycholog-
ical consequences and also cause physical injury.
Children and pets are particularly at risk. Set your
signal source device volume control to a low setting
before start playing back audio.
CAUTION
An unsuitable setup location could lead to
damage.
• If the DecoderStation 6 and the speakers are not
securely mounted, do not use them in vehicles,
in unstable locations, on wobbly tripods or fur-
niture, on underdimensioned brackets etc. The
DecoderStation 6 or the speakers may tip or fall
over and cause injury to persons or be damaged
themselves.
• Position the DecoderStation 6 in such a way that it
cannot be knocked over inadvertently and that the
cables do not pose a trip hazard.
• Carefully follow the instruction manual.
• When storing the DecoderStation 6, make sure that
it is in a stable position and that there is no risk of
it falling or being pulled down.

• If the device is to be left unattended for a prolonged
period of time (e.g. during a vacation) or if a thun-
derstorm is forecast, pull the wall adapter out of the
socket. Otherwise, sudden overvoltage could cause
the device to become defective.

after being cold (e.g. after transport), condensation
may occur inside of it. In this case, wait at least 2
hours before you connect and activate it.
Improper use may lead to damage or fire.
• Do not place open flames such as burning candles
or similar on the device.
• Ensure sufficient ventilation.
• Do not place the device in direct sunlight.

Old devices must not be disposed of
with household waste!
If the device is no longer operational, every
consumer is required by law to dispose
of old devices separately from household
waste, e.g. at a collection point run by the
communal authority/borough. This ensures
that old devices are recycled in a profes-
sional manner and also rules out negative
consequences for the environment.
For this reason, electrical equipment is
marked with the following symbol.
Batteries and rechargeable batteries do not
belong in the household garbage!
Every consumer is required by law to bring
all batteries and rechargeable batteries, re-
gardless whether they contain harmful sub-
stances*) or not, to a collection point run
by the communal authority or borough or to
a retailer, so that they can be disposed of
in an environmentally friendly manner.
Please only turn in batteries and rechargea-
ble batteries which are empty!

Setup and connection
Location tips
• Select a stable, level base.
• Make sure that the environment is clean and free
from dust.
• Select a location away from heat sources and direct
sunlight.
• Do not place any heavy objects on the DecoderSta-
tion 6 or on the cables.
The receiver for the remote control signals is located
at the front of the device. You should therefore set
up the device so that you can see it from your sitting
position.
WARNING
Risk of injury/damage!
Lay the cables so that they do not pose a tripping
hazard.
FM antenna
WARNING
Risk associated with lightning strike!
If you are using outdoor or roof antennas, be abso-
lutely sure that the antenna has lightning protection.
To receive FM stations, connect the antenna to the
FM jack (6). This may be a roof/outside antenna, but
also a cable television connection. You will need a
coaxial connector cable for this.
If no antenna connection is available at the set-up lo-
cation, you can use the enclosed throw-out aerial 햵.
Push the antenna plug into the FM jack (6) and adjust
the position of the throw-out aerial for best reception.
Then fix the antenna in place.
