Glossary
Dolby Digital (ATSC A/52) is
the digital multichannel audio
format created by Dolby Labo-
ratories. It was developed for
efciently storing lm sound with up to 5.1 sound
channels. The data is compressed using psychoa-
coustic processes and transferred in a single data
ow. The format supports various data rates. The
format also has options for automatic adjustment
of volume differences (dynamic compression) and
also the possibility of allowing playback via a two-
channel speaker system using stereo downmix.
Dolby Virtual Speaker simulates the surround
sound playback provided by ve speakers and an
LFE effect channel in systems using a two-channel
speaker combination. In contrast to stereo down-
mix by Dolby Digital, which only places the missing
channel information of 5.1 audio material in the
existing speakers, the Dolby Virtual Speaker pro-
cedure uses psychoacoustic room modelling to
create pseudo-sound sources that suggest the
existence of speakers in the appropriate room po-
sitions.
MP3(MPEG-1 Layer 3) is a wide-
ly used digital data format for
saving audio data (mono/two-
channel stereo) in a compressed
form using psychoacoustic processes. MP3 les
may exist in various– and sometimes variable– bit
rates, which can have a direct inuence on play-
back quality.
USB (Universal Serial Bus) is
a widely used serial, digital in-
terface protocol. A USB host ap-
pliance can request data from terminals and also
transmit data to them.

Introducing Cinebar 50 · General functions
Dear Lautsprecher Teufel customer,
Thank you for choosing the Cinebar 50 System
from Lautsprecher Teufel. Cinebar 50 is a com-
plete system for playing sound and lm tracks.
The Cinebar 50 combined receiver speaker unit
combines a two-channel amplier with two high-
quality speakers (Cinebar 50 Unit). This unit is
completed by a matching subwoofer that has its
own integrated high-performance amplier. You
can connect various sound sources directly to the
Cinebar 50 Unit via analogue and digital inputs.
Thanks to the integrated USB interface, the Cine-
bar 50 System even allows you to connect mobile
MP3 media players and USB data storage devices.
The integrated Dolby Digital Downmix Matrix and
additional support from “bass redirection logic”
ensure that media encoded for surround sound,
such as 5.1 sound, are reproduced accurately on
your 2.1 speaker system. Thanks to Dolby Virtu-
al Speakers, the unit can also be used to create
surround sound in 2.1 speaker conguration. In
terms of sound quality, the system lives up to all
the expectations you could have of a Lautspre-
cher Teufel home cinema system.
Please read these instructions carefully before
operating the unit and store the manual in a safe
place for future reference. If you have any fur-
ther questions, please contact our engineers on
tel. [phone] – or use the e-mail contact
form on our website: www.teufel.eu. Please have
your invoice number ready, so we can immediately
locate your product and provide the best possible
support.

Wall mounting the Cinebar 50
The Cinebar 50 Unit can be xed directly to a wall
using the rear bracket. Before doing so, ensure
that the wall is sturdily constructed and capable
of supporting the load! Please use strong screws
in combination with the wall plugs supplied to gu-
arantee a secure hold. For perfect sound, set up
the Cinebar 50 Unit below the TV set.
Please note:
Ě Do not place or lean any objects on or against

no responsibility for damage caused because
of incorrect assembly.
Setting up the speakers
The Cinebar 50 System is a high-quality stereo
and surround playback set suitable for reprodu-
cing lm and music sound in rooms up to 30m2.
The sound is automatically in perfect symmetry
with the picture thanks to the satellite speakers
that form an integral part of the Cinebar 50 Unit,
which is attached or set up below or above your
atscreen TV.
ĚSet-up height should be between 40 centimetres
and 2.0 metres, ideally at ear height to the
sitting position. Your listening position should
be central and in front of the Cinebar 50 Unit.
It also helps to position the Cinebar 50 Unit in
a central position between the two side walls.
When set up correctly, the Cinebar 50 System
simulates surround sound realistically, using a
front speaker alone.
You can achieve optimum effects at the following
listening distances, for example:
Ě Room size 10 m2 Listening distance: 1.5 m
Ě Room size 16 m2 Listening distance: 2.1 m
Ě Room size 20 m2 Listening distance: 2.7 m
Assembling the base
The Cinebar 50 Unit can be positioned as a stan-
ding appliance on the base supplied. For optimum

player also needs to be connected to the TV set
for picture playback.
Alternatively or in addition to a DVD player, you
can also connect Blu-Ray players, games consoles,
CD players and other appliances to the free jacks
on the Cinebar 50 Unit. However, record players
cannot be connected to the Cinebar 50 System
without an external preamplier.
Note
Remove the cover from the
socket and the jacks before you
use the optical cable.
Note
If you are playing TV sound via
the Cinebar 50 System, you can
control the volume from the TV
appliance.

Adjusting the volume · Selecting the sound source
Setting the sound levels on the subwoofer
As the subwoofer has its own sound level control,
this should be in the maximum position. If you use
this position as a starting point, you can make
ne adjustments later using the remote control,
depending on the current sound programme.
This is done as follows:
First set the subwoofer level to position “0” using
the remote control (see above).
Now play a high-quality CD on the Cinebar 50 Sy-
stem. Adjust the volume control on the subwoofer
until you achieve a harmonious sound.
Selecting the sound source
The Cinebar 50 System can choose between ve
possible sound sources (inputs).

Playback from USB storage media
You can select a USB medium as a sound source by
pressing the USB button. USB sticks with a capaci-
ty of up to 8 GB and hard drives up to 160 GB are
supported. The storage device must be formatted
in FAT 16/32 format. MP3 and WM3 les can be read,
but not WAV format. Subfolders on the USB device
are also recognised. The tracks are played or se-
lected according to the le hierarchy, and in alpha-
betical order within a level of the le structure.
Depending on the USB device and the quantity
of MP3/WMA les it contains, the reading process
may take a while. The reading process is indicated
on the display with the message “Loading”.
Start playback by pressing the play button, which
also functions as a pause button. The display
shows the track number currently selected and
the play time. The display also shows a small sym-
bol for the playback and pause functions as well
as an MP3 symbol.
Repeat function
Press the repeat button to switch the repeat
function on or off. You can choose between no
repeats, repeating the current track or repea-
ting all tracks. The display shows you the selected
mode:
ĚRe Off No repeats
ĚRe 1 The current track will be repeated.
ĚRe All All tracks will be repeated
Note
When you insert a USB device
into the selected USB port, the
“Loading” message will be shown
in the display. The rst track will
then start to play automatically.
The same applies if you switch
on the Cinebar 50 System with
a USB device inserted and if the
USB port was the last selected
source.
Track selection
Use the “Prev” and “Next” buttons to select
tracks.
Press the “Next” button to skip to the beginning
of the next track.

If a problem should occur, please check through
the following advice before contacting our ser-
vice staff.
No power
ĚPlease check whether the plug is properly
inserted in the mains socket.
ĚCheck whether the corresponding electric
circuit is live.
No sound or poor sound output
ĚYou may have inserted an incompatible disc.
To test this, insert an audio CD into your playback
appliance and use the remote control to select
the correct input.
ĚCheck whether the television and Cinebar 50
are switched on and ensure the correct
programme source is selected.
ĚCheck the cable connection between the TV,
player and Cinebar 50.
ĚCheck whether the mute function has been
activated.
ĚCheck whether the subwoofer is switched on.
ĚThe USB device is not recognised or does not
contain any readable data. First try to play
other tracks or another medium.
ĚCondensation may have formed in the appliance.
Remove the USB device and leave the appliance
switched on for one to two hours.
Malfunctions
ĚIf the Cinebar 50 System malfunctions,
disconnect the device from the power supply
for at least 30 minutes. Then connect the
Cinebar 50 unit again. The internal restore
function should reset the appliance.
No surround sound playback
ĚThe transfer of surround-encoded data requires
a digital connection to the Cinebar 50 Unit.
ĚCheck whether the operating mode has been
set to “Reference” or “Wide” (mode button).
ĚNot every DVD has surround sound. Try inserting
another DVD to test this.
The remote control does not work
ĚFirst check whether the batteries are still
charged and if necessary replace them.
ĚPoint the remote control at the sensor on the
Cinebar 50 Unit.
ĚMake sure that there are no obstacles between
the remote control and Cinebar 50 Unit. Remove
these, if necessary.
ĚCheck whether the batteries in the remote
control have been inserted with the correct
polarity.
ĚCheck whether the batteries have leaked.
Ě Check whether there are uorescent lamps
close by.
The appliance does not react to input com-
mands
Switch the appliance to standby and switch it on
again. If this doesn’t help, switch the system off
completely and then on again. To do this, switch
the Cinebar 50 Unit to standby. Now switch the
subwoofer off and disconnect the power supply
to the Cinebar 50 Unit. Follow this procedure in
reverse to switch the system on again.
The USB stick is not recognised
Due to the wide variety of USB sticks on the mar-
ket, it is not possible to guarantee 100% compa-
tibility with all sticks. We have had the best test
results with the latest USB memory sticks (using
the USB 2 standard).
No MP3 playback/noisy MP3 playback
Ě If data les and MP3 les are mixed together
on the same data storage device, playback
may be noisy or even blocked altogether.
Ě Check to see whether all of the les on the
storage medium are MP3 les. If necessary
skip les and try to play other MP3s.
