SAFETY AND SERVICE
Please read this chapter carefully and follow all instructions. In doing so
you will ensure the reliable operation of and a long life for your 5.1 speaker
system. Keep the manual close to your 5.1 system. Store the manual safely
so that you can pass it on to the new owner should you sell your speakers.
Operational Safety
•Never open the housing of the 5.1 system, the
speakers or the power adapter! There is life threat-
ening danger by electric shock, if the housing of
the power adapter is opened. There are no ser-
viceable parts inside.
•Children should never play unattended with elec-
trical equipment.
Children cannot always recognise potential haz-
ards properly.
•This 5.1 system is not designed for operation in a
heavy industrial environment.
LOCATION
Follow these instructions to connect your 5.1 system properly:
•A power supply socket must be close to the device and easily ac-
cessible. Run cables in a way that no one can step or trip over
them.
•The power supply to your device is interrupted only, when the
power plug is removed from the power socket. If you switch off
the device using the power switch, then the power feed is not inter-
rupted. Always hold the plug firmly when removing it. To avoid
product damage never pull by the power cord.
•Operate the power adapter only on grounded power outlets with
230V~, 50Hz. When in doubt about the power type at your location,
contact the related power utility company.
•To avoid damage never place any objects on the power cord.
•Do not expose your 5.1 system, the loudspeakers or any connected
devices to humidity. Avoid dust, heat and exposure to direct
sunlight to prevent operating failure.

•Place and operate all the components on a stable and flat surface,
free of vibrations, to prevent the loudspeakers from tumbling.
•Only use in a suitable ambient temperature:
AMBIENT TEMPERATURE
•The 5.1 system can be operated in an ambient temperature range
between 0° C to 40° C and a relative humidity between 20% -
80% (non-condensing). When switched off the 5.1 system can be
stored between -4° F and 158° F and at a relative humidity between
20% - 90% (non-condensing).
ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPLIANCE
•The guidelines for electromagnetic compliance (EMC) must be
obeyed when operating the speakers.
•Only use the supplied power cord.
•Keep a distance of at least three feet from sources of high fre-
quency or magnetic interference (TV sets, other loudspeakers, mo-
bile phones, etc.) to avoid interference, malfunction and data loss.
Service
Please contact Medion Customer Care should you experience technical
problems with your 5.1 system. Repair is solely reserved for our author-
ised service partners.
Remove the power plug and contact our service organisation, if…
•liquid has penetrated to the inside of the device.

SETTING UP
With this 5.1 System you can reproduce surround sound effects.
To reproduce these surround effects the following conditions must be met:
•the medium (usually DVD film) must support surround sound.
Remark:
Depending on the movie title surround sound effects may vary
in intensity.
•the connected source (DVD-player, sound card, etc) must support
the required connections and functions.
Furthermore, your 5.1 system must be properly connected and positioned,
so that the optimal surround effect can be heard:
Positioning the 5.1 System
Position the loudspeakers in such a way, that the audience is in the centre.
The satellite speakers may be distributed freely. The two rear satellite
speakers have longer cables, so that they can be positioned according to
the space in the room:
Loudspeaker Description
Front left
Front right For sound from the front
Rear left
Rear right For sound from the back
Centre For sound in the centre
Subwoofer This position may vary - people cannot locate the
source of deep frequencies.

Connecting the 5.1 System
Note the instructions in the chapter „Safety and Service“ (pages 2 and
following).
1. CONNECTING THE LOUDSPEAKERS
After having positioned the components connect the cables of the loud-
speakers.
Use the drawing on page 6 and the table below as a guide:
Loudspeaker Loudspeaker plug Connection on the
subwoofer (Öp. 6)
Front left Cinch black 9, FRONT L – Cinch white
Front right Cinch black 10, FRONT R – Cinch red
Rear left Cinch black 11, REAR L – Cinch white
Rear right Cinch black 12, REAR R – Cinch red
Centre Cinch black 13, CENTER – Cinch yellow
2. CONNECTING THE SOUND SOURCE
Your 5.1 system can take input from a sound card, a DVD-player or
another suitable sound source with the corresponding output connections.
Tip:
3.5mm stereo cinch female plugs are required. When not
available, adapters are required.
Attention!
Digital connections are not supported and can damage the
device.
Locate the output connections of the sound source (sound card, DVD-
player, etc) and connect the device with the supplied cables. The connec-
tions are usually colour-coded.
The colours might vary slightly. Check the user manual of your device as a
safeguard.

3. CONNECTING THE POWER ADAPTER
Connect the supplied power adapter to the AC In connector on your 5.1
system (Öp. 6, 15) and insert the power plug into an easily accessible
power socket. Do NOT switch on the 5.1 system yet.
Operation and Handling
1. Check, that all volume controls are set to the lowest position. Turn the
controls on the front (Öp. 5, 2 & 3) of the 5.1 system counter-
clockwise until you feel resistance.
2. Switch on your sound source and play a suitable sound.
3. Now switch on the 5.1 system by flipping the power switch (Öp. 6, 16)
into position I/ON. An LED (1) will show to indicate the 5.1 system is in
operation.
4. Switch on the desired source (4) to AUX or 5.1 Input.
5. Turn the volume control of the corresponding speakers carefully
clockwise until a comfortable volume level is reached and a balanced
sound is achieved. Turning the control counter-clockwise lowers the
volume.
6. To turn off the volume, switch off the 5.1 system (position 0/OFF) and
then switch off the sound source.

SERVICE
Support in the Event of a Malfunction
Malfunctions can sometimes be caused by trivial issues and sometimes be
complex in nature and require thorough analysis.
•Start with a careful visual inspection of all cable connections. If the
indicators are not lit, then check, whether the 5.1 system is properly
supplied with power.
•Switch off the device and check all cable connections. When you are
certain, that the supply of power operates flawlessly and that all
connections are correct, then switch on the device again.
•If the sound is distorted or too low, then adjust the volume controls
until the desired volume level is obtained.
•If you do not hear any sound, then this could be caused by:
•the speakers are without power
•the volume control is turned down
•sound output is deactivated, muted or faulty (e.g. the wrong for-
mat).
DO YOU REQUIRE ADDITIONAL SUPPORT?
If the suggestions in the previous section did not solve your problem,
please contact us. It would help us, if you could supply the following infor-
mation:
•The configuration of your computer
