Important notes for users in the U.K.

Mains plugThis apparatus is fitted with an approved 13 Amp plug. To change afuse in this type of plug proceed as follows:1 Remove fuse cover and fuse.2 Fix new fuse which should be a BS1362 5 Amp, A.S.T.A. or BSI

approved type.3 Refit the fuse cover.If the fitted plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should becut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place.If the mains plug contains a fuse, this should have a value of 5Amp. If a plug without a fuse is used, the fuse at the distributionboard should not be greater than 5 Amp.

Note: The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a possibleshock hazard should it be inserted into a 13 Amp socket elsewhere.

How to connect a plugThe wires in the mains lead are coloured with the following code:blue = neutral (N), brown = live (L).As these colours may not correspond with the colour markingsidentifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:• Connect the blue wire to the terminal marked N or coloured

black.• Connect the brown wire to the terminal marked L or coloured

red.• Do not connect either wire to the earth terminal in the plug,

marked E (or e) or coloured green (or green and yellow).Before replacing the plug cover, make certain that the cord grip isclamped over the sheath of the lead - not simply over the twowires.

Surround speakersConnect the active speakers to the powersource with the power cable provided.Switch on the active speaker with thePOWER switch.

Transmitter unitConnect the SURR terminal of thetransmitter with the PRE OUT (SURROUND)terminal of the appliance using thesupplied cinch cable. Connect the AC/DCadapter supplied to the 14 V socket of thetransmitter. Then connect the AC/DCadapter to the power source.

Note:– The SUB terminal of the transmitter is

not used with this set.

PositioningPosition the unit in a way that you are ableto ”see” the active surround speaker fromthe position of the unit.

To avoid sound distortions caused bymagnetic fields do not place thetransmitter on your TV set.

Positioning the speakers

Important!To avoid overheating do not cover anyvents and leave a minimum distance of5 centimeters (2 inches) forventilation.

General hints for positioningAvoid positioning the speakers in a corneror on the floor, as this will boost the basstones too much. Placing the speakersbehind curtains, furniture etc. will reducethe treble response, thus reducing thestereo effect considerably. The listenershould always be able to ”see” thespeakers.

Each room has different acousticcharacteristics and the positioningpossibilities are often limited. You can findthe best position for your speakers byfollowing the picture above. The speakersshould always be arranged assymmetrically as possible in the room.

Positioning the center speakerThe center speaker should be placed in thecenter between both front speakers, e. g.underneath or on top of the TV. The bestheight for the center speaker is at theheight of the listener’s ears (while seated).

Positioning the surround speakersThe surround speakers should face eachother and be in line with, or at most 1.5m(4ft 6ins) behind the listener.

SetupAdjusting the relative sound levelAfter installing your speakers, you willhave to find a good sound balance betweenthe surround, center and front speakers.

In the instruction booklet of your applianceyou will find a section describing how toadjust the sound of the different speakers.Follow those instructions to get the mostout of your new speakers.

Setting the input sensitivity A.B.CDepending on which sound source you use,the signals delivered have differentstrengths.

If the red light on the front of thetransmitter unit starts to blink, theincoming signal is too strong. This willcause distortions. Set the A·B·C switch toadjust the input sensitivity to a lower level.If the red light on the front of thetransmitter unit goes off during play, theincoming signal is not strong enough. Setthe A·B·C switch to adjust the inputsensitivity to a higher level.

Setting the transmitting channelIn case of signal interference from thetransmitter it is possible to change toanother transmitting channel.

1 Switch off both active surroundspeakers.

2 Set the CHANNEL slide at the back ofthe transmitter to another number.
