Frequently Asked Questions - Concept E 450 Digital Teufel

How do I connect the Teufel Concept E 450 Digital to my TV?
Use an optical (TOSLINK) or coaxial (S/PDIF) cable from your TV's digital audio output to the corresponding input on the subwoofer. Alternatively, use analog RCA if your TV has those outputs.
Can I use the system with a computer?
Yes, connect via optical, coaxial, or the 3.5mm auxiliary input. Ensure your computer's sound card supports 5.1 output for full surround sound.
How do I set up the speakers for optimal surround sound?
Place the front left and right satellites at ear level, the center above or below the TV, and the rear satellites behind the listening position. The subwoofer can be placed on the floor near the front. Refer to the manual for distances.
Why is there no sound from the rear speakers?
Ensure the source is outputting a 5.1 signal. Check speaker connections and that the rear speakers are not muted. Try a surround sound test tone from your source device.
How do I replace the remote control batteries?
Open the battery compartment on the back of the remote, remove old batteries, and insert two new AAA batteries with correct polarity.
Can I pair Bluetooth devices?
The Concept E 450 Digital does not support Bluetooth. Use wired connections (optical, coaxial, analog) or an external Bluetooth adapter connected to an analog input.
What is the recommended subwoofer placement?
Place the subwoofer on a solid floor, ideally in a corner or near a wall for maximum bass response. Avoid placing it directly against furniture that may rattle.
How do I clean the speakers?
Use a soft, dry microfibre cloth to gently wipe the surfaces. Do not use any chemical cleaners, alcohol, or abrasive materials. For grilles, a soft brush can be used.
The system goes into standby automatically. Can I disable this?
There is no option to disable auto standby. The system will enter standby after a period of no audio signal to save power. Simply turn it on using the remote or power button.
Where can I find spare parts or service?
Contact Teufel customer support through their website. Spare parts such as speakers, grilles, or remote controls may be available. Repairs should be done by authorized technicians.

Teufel Concept E 450 Digital - NOTICE - 1

Our website contains comprehensive notes for correct setup.

  • Select a stable, level base.
  • Make sure that the environment is clean and free from dust.
    • Make sure that the speakers are firmly positioned to prevent vibrations.
  • 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 or the speakers.
  • Set up the satellite speakers such that they are at an equal distance from the listener on both the left and right side (if possible) or mount them on the wall.
  • The location of the subwoofer can be freely selected and does not influence the other speakers. However, do not set it up in the corner of the room as this may result in uncontrollable frequency rises. A location between the satellite speakers is often ideal.

Setup as a PC sound system

  • When using the device as a PC sound system, concentrating on emitting sound directly at the PC workstation is advisable, that is, the area where the monitor and listener are located.
  • Please position the speakers within the grey areas.

Connecting satellite speakers

CAUTION

The speaker cables may pose a tripping hazard.

- Lay the cables so that no one can get caught in them.

NOTICE

Make sure the polarity is correct!

- Connect the like coloured terminals. Otherwise, the sound quality will suffer.

The strands of the speaker cables are marked with different colours or shapes.

  1. The connector terminals SPEAKER OUT (28) for the satellite speakers are located on the back side of the Concept E 450 Digital.

Run the speaker cables from the subwoofer to each satellite speaker.

Small piece of advice: Label the cables on the subwoofer end – this facilitates setup and tear-down of the system.

  1. Split the speaker cables down to approx. 30 mm on both ends and strip approx. 10 mm of insulation off of each cord.

  2. Twist the stripped single wire ends together so that no wire protrudes. Tin coating is not necessary.

  3. Push down the connector terminal levers and run the stripped cable ends into the corresponding holes. When releasing the lever, the cable ends will be locked.

Connect all cables to the subwoofer in this way. Ensure that no part of the insulation is clamped in place.

  1. Connect the other ends of the speaker cables to the satellite speakers. The instruction manual of the speakers should contain notes on this.

Connection to the grid

- Insert the mains plug in an easily accessible mains socket.

- Plug the mains plugs of your external players back into the mains socket.

Problem Possible cause Solution
The device doesn't emit any sound.The volume is set to “0”. Increase the volume.(see “Setting the volume” on page 15)
Input signal is too weak. Increase the volume on the external player.
Incorrect input selected. Select the correct input (see “Selecting an input” on page 13).
The remote control does not work.No connection between the remote control and Concept E 450 Digital.Establish a connection (see “Pairing of the remote control” on page 12).
Batteries are empty. Insert new batteries (see “Changing the batteries” on page 12).
Not all speakers are active.The output has been set to 2.1 CH.Switch the output to 5.1 CH (see “Selecting an output” on page 14).
Some speakers are too quiet and some are too loud.The balance between the individual speakers is incorrect.Adjust the volume (see “Setting the volume of the individual speakers” on page 15) and (see “Setup” on page 15).
The subwoofer hums. Thehumming is caused by problems with the power supply.Buy a line filter and connect it to the unit.
The humming is caused by a multiple socket strip.Use a different multiple socket strip or connect the subwoofer directly to the wall socket. It may also help to insert the mains plug in the socket the other way around.
The audio source is not played back.An inappropriate digital output format has been set on the player.Set the digital output format to “PCM” in the setup menu of your player.
Playback is noisy. Generally speaking, the Concept E 450 Digital is a very low-noise system. In most cases, speaker systems with excellent resolution in the high range area expose the poor quality of a signal source (e.g. from MP3 files).Make sure that the external player emits a clear signal to the Concept E 450 Digital.
