Danger Risk of electric shock!
Faulty electrical installation or excess mains
voltage may result in an electric shock.
• The unit is only suitable for mains voltage of
220 V–240 V ~/50 Hz.
• If the unit's case or mains cable is defective or shows
other signs of visible damage, disconnect it immedi-
ately from the power supply and do not operate it.
• If the unit emits smoke or smells of burning or other
unusual odours, disconnect it immediately from the
power supply and do not operate it.
• The standby button does not disconnect the unit from
the power supply. Plug the unit into an easily acces-
sible socket so that it can be quickly disconnected in
case of a fault.
• Never open the unit case.
Repairs may only be carried out by an authorised
specialist workshop. Only use parts which conform
with the original unit specifications. There are electrical
and mechanical parts in this unit which are essential in
order to avoid exposure to sources of danger.
• Do not insert any object through the vent slots in the
case.
• Only use the machine in indoor areas.
• Do not operate the unit in damp areas and protect it
from drops of water or splash water.
Also take care not to stand vases or other containers
of liquid on or near the unit in order to avoid liquid
getting into the case. If water or other
foreign bodies
should enter the case, disconnect it immediately from the
mains power supply and remove any batteries. Send the
unit to our service address.

ies, buttons or plug adapters). They could swallow the
parts and choke.
If a battery is swallowed, take the child to a doctor
immediately.
• Never allow children to operate electrical devices
unsupervised.
Danger Danger to hearing!
Loud noise may lead to hearing loss.
Particularly when an amplifier is switched on
and is set to full volume, sudden noise pressure may be
produced. This may have psychological effects and also
may result in physical injury. Children and pets are at
particularly risk.
• Set your signal source unit volume control to a low
setting.
• When the volume is set high, always keep a certain
distance from the unit and never place your ear directly
on the speaker.
• To avoid damage to health, avoid extended listening at
high volume.
Danger Danger of injury/damage!
Incorrect location may result in damage.
• Never use the unit unsecured in a vehicle, on an unsta-
ble surface, on wobbly stands or furniture, with under-
sized wall fixings etc. The speakers could fall down or
fall over and be damaged or cause injury.
• Place the speakers in such a way that they cannot be
knocked over unseen and make sure that the cables do
not pose a trip hazard.
• Do not place the unit near sources of heat (e. g. heat-
ers, ovens, other heat generating equipment such as
amplifiers etc.)

• Concept B 200 5

Setup and connection
Location
• Ideally, you should place the amplifier unit under your
computer monitor, but please ensure that you do not
place the monitor directly on the device! Set up the
speakers to the right and left of the monitor.
• Select a stable, level base.
• Make sure that the environment is clean and free from
dust.
• Avoid placing the unit close to sources of heat or in
direct sunlight.
• Arrange the connector cables so that they do not pose
a trip hazard.
• Do not place any heavy objects on top of the cables
or units.
Connecting the speakers
Use the enclosed speaker cables to connect the speakers.
The 6.3 mm plugs prevent pole reversal.
The connector jacks 14 “SPEAKER” for the right (“R”) and
left (“L”) speaker are located on the back of the amplifier
unit.
The connector jacks (see ar-
row on the adjacent figure)
are located on the back of the
speakers.
Connect the amplifier unit with
the two speakers.
RCA Input “Aux”
You can connect almost any
audio source, such as a computers, MP3 players (with/
without docking station), video game systems, televi-
sions etc., to the RCA jacks 10 “Aux R/L”. Just an out-
put with line level is required for the source unit. Such
outputs are configured either as stereo RCA jacks or as
a 3.5 mm plug. With a corresponding connector cable,
you can connect these devices to the jacks 10 “Aux
R/L”. You can purchase these cables in our webshop
(www.teufelaudio.com) in the area “Accessories”.
Mini-jack input “MP3”
You can also connect almost any audio source that
features an output with line level to the 3.5 mm mini-jack
11 “MP3”.
USB port
A passive USB hub is integrated in the amplifier unit that
provides three type A USB device jacks, which are
available for USB devices: Jack 6 on the front and the
two jacks 13 on the back. You should use the front
jack for devices only needed for a short time, such as
memory sticks. The rear jack is ideal for connecting
printers, keyboards and transmitters that are intended to
be permanently connected with a PC.
To connect to a PC, you will need one USB device cable
that comprises a plug A and plug B. You can purchase
such cables in our webshop (www.teufelaudio.com) in the
area “Accessories”.
With this cable, you can connect the jack 12 with a
USB jack on your PC.
Sound card
You can use the integrated USB soundcard under Win-
dows XP, Windows Vista and Mac OS X without having
to install drivers.
After connecting the amplifier unit to a USB port on your
computer (see previous section), the sound card is avail-
able as “C-Media USB Headphone Set” in the sound
output control.
Microphone connection
You can connect a microphone (e.g. from a headset) to
the jack 4 “ ”. This mono sound input is also available
as “C Media USB Headphone Set” in the sound input
control.
The microphone input is also activated when the amplifier
unit is in standby mode.
Headphones
You can connect stereo headphones to the “ ” jack 5–
the speakers are automatically deactivated in the proc-
ess.

Cleaning and care
Clean your Concept B 200 regularly with a soft, damp
microfiber cloth. Please be absolutely sure to follow the
notes below:
Danger Risk of electric shock!
In contact with live parts water can lead to
electric shock or short circuit.
• Ensure that no water gets into the unit.
• Disconnect the device from the mains power supply
before cleaning.
Attention Risk of damage!
Using the wrong cleaning materials may dam-
age the delicate surface of the case.
• If possible use only plain water with no cleaning prod-
ucts. In case of stubborn marks a mild soap solution
may be used.
• In no circumstances should caustic cleaning products,
white spirit, thinners, petrol or similar be used for
cleaning.
Troubleshooting
The following instructions should help you to solve problems. If this doesn‘t work, please contact our hotline (see page 3).
Take note of the warranty instructions.
Problem Possible cause Solution
The unit produces no
sound.
Wrong source selected. Select the correct source (see page 8).
Volume is set to “0”. Increase the volume.
Fuse is defective. Replace the fuse: Discon-
nect the mains cord,
carefully pull out the fuse
holder on the mains jack
16. Insert the new fuse
(1.6 A, slow-blowing) and
close the holder.
The speakers buzz. The buzzing is caused by problems with
the power supply.
Buy a line filter and connect the device to it.
The buzzing is caused by a multi-way
socket.
Use another multi-way socket or connect the
amplifier unit directly to a wall socket. Con-
necting the mains plug with the socket the
other way around may also help.
Playback is noisy. The Concept B 200 is generally a very
low-noise system. What often happens is
that due to the excellent sound reproduc-
tion capbility of the tweeters noise that
is inherent to the source (typical for MP3
files) is revealed.
Ensure that the audio source is of good qual-
ity and noise free.

10 • Concept B 200
Disposing of the unit
Used units must not be disposed of with house-
hold waste
If the unit is no longer operational, every
consumer is required by law to dispose of
used devices separate from household waste,
e. g. at a collection point run by the communal author-
ity borough. In this way, used devices can be recycled
and waste materials disposed of in an environmentally
friendly manner.
For this reason, electrical equipment is labeled with the
symbol shown on the left.
