Safety notes
Danger Danger to children!
Children can become trapped in the packing
film when playing and suffocate.
• Do not allow children to play with the unit or the pa-
cking film. Danger of suffocation.
• Ensure that children do not remove small parts from the
unit or take them off of the unit (e.g. batteries from the
remote control, control knobs or plug adapters). They
could swallow the parts and
choke.
Danger Risk of injury
An unstable base may result in the unit tipping
over and seriously injuring or even killing
persons, children in particular are at risk. You can prevent
many accidents by taking the following precautions:
• Only use underframes or speaker stands recommended
by the manufacturer.
• Only place the unit on furniture capable of carrying
the load.
• Make sure that the unit is completely on the piece of
furniture and that it does not hang over the edge.
• If you place the unit on a tall piece of furniture such as
a book case or a kitchen cabinet, brace both the piece
of furniture and the TV set to the wall.
• Do not place any decorative blankets or other materi-
als on the piece of furniture before setting up the unit.
• Warn your children of the risks associated with clim-
bing onto the piece of furniture in order to reach the
unit.
• When storing the unit, make sure that the aforementi-
oned points are observed.
Danger to hearing!
Loud noise may lead to hearing loss.
Especially if a unit is activated and set to full
volume, very high noise pressure may be emitted unex-
pectedly. This may have psychological consequences and
also cause physical injury. Children and pets are particu-
larly at risk.
• Set your signal source unit volume control to a low
setting.
• When the volume is set high, always keep a certain di-
stance 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!
Set up in an unsuitable location may result in
injury to persons and/or damage to property.
• Do not use the device in vehicles without having it
secured, in unstable locations, wobbly tripods or
furniture, on insufficiently dimensioned brackets etc.
The device could tip or fall down and cause injury to
persons or be damaged itself.
• Arrange the device so that it cannot be knocked over
accidentally and make sure that the cables do not pose
a trip hazard.
• Ensure that any wall mounting is performed in a profes-
sional manner.
• Only use suitable wall brackets for mounting. Verify the
carrying capacity of the walls.
• Do not place the unit near sources of heat (e.g. hea-
ters, ovens, other heat generating equipment such as
amplifiers etc.)
Attention Fire hazard!
Improper use may lead to damage or fire.
• Do not place open flames such as burning candles or
similar on the unit.
• Do not place the unit in direct sunlight.
• Ensure sufficient ventilation.
• Do not cover the ventilation slots with curtains, cloths,
newspapers or similar. Heat build-up inside the unit
can shorten the lifetime of the unit.

Unpacking and setup
Carefully open the boxes, remove the speakers with the
EPE foam parts and remove the foam parts without touch-
ing the diaphragm.
Connector cables
The T110F series is delivered without a connec-
tor cable due to the variety of different custom-
er needs.You can find suitable cables in our webshop
www.teufelaudio.com) in the “Accessories” area.
Check to be sure
• Check that all items have been delivered and that noth-
ing is damaged.
• If the delivery is incomplete or you find damage sus-
tained in transit, do not operate the unit but contact our
service department (see page 3).
Removing the protective grids
You can remove the protective grids from the speakers by
carefully reaching behind the protective grid and slowly
pulling it off to the front.
When reattaching the grids, ensure that the installation
pins slide into the corresponding holes on the speaker.
Location tips
• 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 the cables or the
speakers.
The following data concern an “ideal home cinema”,
in which the listener sits in a central position at a suf-
ficient distance in front of the speakers (see the adjacent
graphic) and no objects (tables or the like) are located
in between. Unfortunately, the room, furnishings or other
circumstances do not always allow for optimum arrange-
ment.
Modern amplifiers offer a variety of possibilities for
electronically compensating losses associated with the
arrangement. The following general rule applies: You can
always experiment on what works best in your listening
room in terms of sound and appearance based on our
recommendations. Let your ears (and eyes) be the judge!

Front speakers
• The front speakers T110F are set up to the right and
left of the screen at a height of approx. 80 to 160 cm.
• They should be in line with the center speaker and
form an equilateral triangle with the listener – the
so-called stereo triangle (distance from the listener =
distance between the speakers).
• The speakers should project sound directly into the
room or slightly towards the listener.
Center speaker
• Place the center speaker in a central position under or
next to the screen.
Rear speakers
• The rear speakers are set up or wall mounted to the
side (a) or behind (b) the listener at a height of 1.20 m
to 2.10 m.
• The distance to the listener should amount to at least
100 cm.
Subwoofer
• You can freely select the location for the subwoofer; it
does not affect the other speakers. A location between
the front speakers is often ideal.

Connecting
Danger Danger of injury/damage!
Arrange the cables so that they do not pose a
trip hazard.
• Pull the mains plug of your AV receiver out of the
socket to prevent accidental activation.
• Lay the speaker cables from your AV receiver to each
speaker. These cables should be high-quality double-
wire speaker cable with marked strands.
A small tip: Label the cables on the receiver side –
this will help when taking down and setting up the
receiver.
• A connector terminal with two terminal clips is located
on the back side of each speaker. Here you can con-
nect the speaker cables directly or with pin plugs. We
only describe the direct connection in these instruc-
tions.
• The terminals are each marked red (+) and black (-).
Make sure the polarity is correct!
Connect the like-coloured terminals with one
another. Otherwise the sound quality will suffer.
The speaker connectors of your AV receiver should
have similar markings. The strands of the speaker
cables are marked with different colours, shapes or
labels.
1. Split the single-wire
down to approx.
30 mm on both
ends and strip off
approx. 10 mm of
insulation. Twist
the core so that no
strands are protrud-
ing.
2. Turn the connector terminal
counterclockwise until loose.
Run the stripped cable into the
hole that is now visible. Turn
the terminal clockwise until
closed. The cable has now
been clamped into place.
3. Connect the other end of the speaker cable to the front
speaker outputs of your amplifier. You can find notes
on this in the corresponding operating instructions.

Care and cleaning
The veneered surfaces of our speakers have a protective
surface coat, which eliminates the need for wood polish.
• You can best remove dust or small amounts of dirt with
a dry, smooth leather cloth.
• Rub off stubborn dirt with a damp cloth. Make sure
that no liquids penetrate the speakers.
• Then immediately wipe the surfaces dry using a soft
cloth and without applying pressure.
Attention Risk of damage!
Using the wrong cleaning materials may dam-
age the delicate surface of the case.
• If possible only use lukewarm, plain water without any
cleaning products. 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.
