from penetrating the housing.
The isolation pads can produce
discolouration on sensitive
surfaces.
• On parquet, varnished wood and
similar surfaces, you should stick
felt gliders to the rubber feet of the
device or put a blanket under it.

Connecting
TV set
If your TV is equipped with an ARC
capable HDMI jack, connect it via the
HDMI jack (7). You will need an ARC
capable HDMI cable for this.
The ARC (audio return channel) HDMI
function plays the television audio via
HDMI. With some TV sets, this func-
tion must be activated in the menu
and in most cases, only one HDMI
connection is ARC capable (see the
user manual for the TV set).
If your TV set does not support the
ARC HDMI function, you can also
connect it to the analogue (AUX IN
(10)) or optical-digital (OPTICAL (8))
input.

3.5mm jack plug to do so.
Optical-digital source
You can connect the optical digital
sound output of a source device to
the OPTICAL jack (8). You will need
an optical cable with a TOSLINK plug
for this. Your source device requires
either an optical 3.5 mm plug or also
a TOSLINK plug.

The Cinebar One has an integrated
USB sound card for audio output. No
driver software is required for play-
back from the PC under Windows 7, 8
and 10 as well as Mac OS X 10.5 and
higher.

an incoming call and you can make
phone calls as usual. After finishing
your phone call, the sounds will
once again be diverted and played
back by your Cinebar One .
Terminating the connection
To terminate the Bluetooth®connec-
tion,
– deactivate the Bluetooth®function
on your external player/smart-
phone.
– select another source on the
Cinebar One.
