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/boroughs. This
ensures that old devices are recycled in
a professional manner and also rules out
negative consequences for the environ-
ment.
For this reason, electrical equipment is
marked with this symbol.
Batteries and storage batteries do not
belong in the household garbage!
Every consumer is required by law to bring
all batteries and storage batteries, regard-
less 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 storage
batteries which are empty!

Setup / Mounting
Setup location
You can set up the CoreStation in a concealed loca-
tion as the remote control operates with radio signals.
When setting the device up in a cabinet, make sure
that it is adequately ventilated and aerated to prevent
the CoreStation from overheating.
Location tips
• Select a stable, level base whose carrying capacity
is sufficient for the CoreStation and TV set.
• Make sure that the environment is clean and free
from dust.
• Select a location away from heat sources and direct
sunlight.
• Lay the connector cables so that they do not pose a
tripping hazard.
• Do not place any heavy objects on the cables.
Mounting behind a TV set
You can also mount the CoreStation behind a suitable
flatscreen TV using the enclosed mounting brackets :
• The TV set must be in a stable position and may not
be secured with a wall bracket.
• It must be prepared for a wall bracket in accord-
ance with VESA MIS-E or MIS-F. TV sets of this type
have a stable mounting frame under the rear panel.
Only the outside holes 200 mm (VESA MIS-E) or
400 mm apart (MIS-F) are visible from the outside.
Please refer to the instruction manual for your TV
set.
You will still need two or four screws that fit the VESA
holder on your TV set. For this, be absolutely sure to
observe the notes in the instruction manual of your
TV set. These screws may not be too long and are not
part of the product contents of the CoreStation.
1. Use the enclosed eight screws to the screw the
two mounting brackets onto the bottom of the
CoreStation as shown in the figure.


11• CoreStation
2. Mount the CoreStation depending on how the
top two VESA mounting points on your TV set are
spaced:
Spaced at 400 mm:
Mount the CoreStation in a lateral position (with the
connections facing down — see Fig. A).
Spaced at 200 mm:
Mount the CoreStation in an upright position (with
the connections pointing to the left or right — see
Fig. B)
3. If necessary, place the washers under the
mounting brackets as a spacer.
4. Begin by only screwing the top of the CoreStation
into place.
5. If the bottom bore holes of the mounting brackets
match up with the bottom VESA fasteners, screw
the CoreStation into place on the bottom as well.
Otherwise, it is sufficient if the CoreStation is se-
cured along the top with two screws.

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 ANTENNA jack (18). 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
location, you can use the enclosed throw-out anten-
na. Push the antenna plug into the FM ANTENNA
jack (18) and adjust the position of the throw-out
antenna for best reception. Then fix the antenna in
place.
Inputs for source devices
The CoreStation offers 4 HDMI inputs for digital
audio/video signals (HDMI 1, 2, 3 and 4), three
analogue audio inputs (AUX 1, 2 and 3) as well as one
coaxial and two optical digital audio inputs.
HDMI 1, 2, 3 and 4
You can connect a HDMI source device with a digital
video and audio signal to each of the jacks (2) (e.g.
PC, Blu-ray player or game console). For this, you will
need one HDMI cable per device.
If a device does not transfer the audio via HDMI, you
can assign one of the audio inputs of the CoreSta-
tion to this device in the “Audio Mapping” menu (see
page20).
NOTE
The functions CEC and ARC are deactivated to save
energy when the product is delivered. If necessary,
please activate these functions via the menu (see
“HDMI” on page 21).
