Frequently Asked Questions - SLS 693 CLATRONIC

How to connect the SLS 693 system?

Plug the subwoofer into the mains (230 V, 50 Hz). Connect the front, center and surround speakers to the corresponding outputs on the subwoofer using the supplied cables. Connect your audio source (e.g. DVD player) to the 2CH or 5.1CH inputs via RCA. For the wireless surround speakers, connect the transmitter to the subwoofer (REAR RIGHT/LEFT output) and plug the receiver into the surround speakers. Turn on the device and select the input mode (2.1CH/5.1CH).

How to adjust the volume of the different speakers?

Use the remote control: the MASTER +/- keys adjust the general volume. The SUBWOOFER +/-, CENTER +/-, SR +/- keys adjust the subwoofer, center speaker and surround speakers respectively. The VOLUME button on the wireless receiver allows individual adjustment of the speakers connected to it.

What to do if the sound is cut off or of poor quality?

Check that all cables are properly connected and that the source device is on. Make sure the transmitter and receiver are powered. Reduce the distance between them (max. 30 m indoors) and avoid thick obstacles. If interference occurs (cordless phones, etc.), change the channel by pressing FREQUENCY SELECT on the transmitter, then SCAN on the receiver to select a new channel.

How to pair the transmitter and wireless receiver?

Press the FREQUENCY SELECT button located on the inner side of the transmitter. Then press the SCAN button on the receiver. The receiver automatically searches for the channel. You can press SCAN again to go to the next channel. The change may be necessary in case of poor reception.

What batteries to use for the remote control?

The remote control requires 2 micro AAA / LR3 1.5 V batteries. They are not included. Insert them respecting the polarity indicated at the bottom of the compartment. Remove the batteries if the remote control is not used for a long time to avoid leakage.

Can I use the system with a 2-channel source?

Yes, connect your source (e.g. TV) to the 2CH INPUT on the subwoofer via an RCA cable. Then select the 2.1CH mode using the corresponding button on the subwoofer. The system will reproduce sound in stereo with the subwoofer.

How to clean the SLS 693 system?

Unplug the device before any cleaning. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the surfaces. Never use abrasive products or solvents. Do not let liquid enter the ventilation openings.

What to do in case of failure or malfunction?

First consult the Troubleshooting chapter of the manual. Check the connections, power supply and source. If the problem persists, contact Clatronic customer service or your retailer. Never open the device yourself, entrust repairs to a qualified specialist.

What is the range of the wireless transmission?

The range is about 30 meters indoors, but it can be reduced by walls, ceilings or other obstacles. Avoid interference with other 2.4 GHz devices (cordless phones, Wi-Fi).

How to dispose of the device at the end of its life?

Do not throw the device away with household waste. Dispose of it at a collection point for waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) in accordance with local regulations. Used batteries must be recycled separately.
