Children must not play with the packing material. There is a risk of suffocation. ~ This device is not designed to be used by people (in- cluding children) with limited physical, sensory or men- tal capabilities or people without adequate experience and/or understanding, unless they are supervised by someone responsible for their safety or are instructed by them on how to use the device. ~ Children must not play with the device. ~ Keep the device and the accessories out of the reach of children. DANGER to and from pets and livestock ~ Electrical devices can represent a hazard to pets and livestock. In addition, animals can also cause damage to the device. For this reason you should keep animals away from electrical devices at all times. DANGER! Risk of electric shock due to moisture ~ The device must not be used in extreme conditions, e.g. rooms with high humidity (bathrooms). ~ Protect the device and power unit from moisture and dripping or splashing water. For instance, never place vases or something similar filled with liquid on or in the vicinity of the device. ~ Never touch the device and power unit with wet hands. ~ Pull the power unit out of the wall socket if liquid gets into the device. ~ Should liquid enter the device, have it checked by an expert before starting the device up again.

Do not use the device again, but have it checked by a specialist work- shop. ~ Never open the casing of the device or power unit. ~ Connect the cable to the device before plugging the power unit into a wall socket. ~ Only connect the power unit to a properly installed, easily accessible wall socket, the voltage of which cor- responds to the specifications on the rating plate. The wall socket must continue to be easily accessible after the device is plugged in. ~ Ensure that the cable cannot be damaged by sharp edges or hot surfaces. ~ Ensure that the cable is not trapped or crushed. ~ When removing the power unit from the wall socket, always pull the power unit and never the cable.

~ Pull the power unit out of the wall socket, … …if there is a fault, …before connecting the device to the power unit, …before you clean the device and …during thunderstorms. ~ For a complete mains separation, pull the power unit out of the wall socket. Even if it is switched off, a small amount of power is always used as long as the power unit is plugged in. ~ To avoid any risk, do not make modifications to the de- vice. Repairs must be carried out by a specialist work- shop or the Service Centre. Batteries ~ DANGER OF EXPLOSION! Be sure to ob- serve the correct polarity when inserting the battery. ~ Clean the battery and possibly device terminals before you insert the batteries. ~ Batteries can be life-threatening if swallowed. There- fore you should store batteries and the remote control out of the reach of young children. If a battery has been swallowed, medical assistance must be sought immediately. ~ Batteries must not be charged or reactivated by other means, nor must they be dismantled, thrown into a fire or short-circuited. ~ Remove the batteries from the remote control if you do not intend to use the remote control for a prolonged period of time, or if the battery runs out of power. The battery might leak and damage the remote control. ~ Do not subject batteries to extreme conditions, e.g. do not place the remote control on radiators or expose it to direct sunlight. Otherwise, there is an increased danger of batteries leaking. ~ If battery acid has leaked, avoid contact with the skin, eyes and mucous membranes. In case of contact with the acid, rinse the affected area at once with plenty of clean water and seek medical assistance immediately. ~ Do not swallow the battery. There is a danger of chem- ical burn. If the button cell battery used in the supplied remote control is swallowed, it can cause severe inter- nal burns within 2 hours, which can lead to death. ~ New and used batteries must be kept away from chil- dren. ~ If the battery compartment will not close properly, stop using the remote control and keep it away from chil- dren. ~ If you think the batteries may have been swallowed or have entered any part of the body, seek medical atten- tion immediately.

6.3 HDMI (ARC) connection

Definition - HDMI stands for High Definition Multimedia Interface. Via this transmission route, digital images and audio signals can be transmitted. - HDMI ARC (ARC – Audio Return Channel) means that the cable is provided with an ARC channel. Via this channel, audio signals are transmitted in both direc- tions. The following modern devices are usually provided with an ARC output: television sets, games consoles or digital re- ceivers. In the following, the connection to a television set is described. Via the ARC channel of the HDMI cable, digital audio sig- nals can be transmitted from the source device (e.g. televi- sion set) to the soundbase. The audio transmission via the HDMI (ARC) socket10 can only work if all components are ARC-enabled. If the transmission is unsuccessful, you must take one or possibly several of the following items into account:

• The old HDMI cable must be replaced with a new ARC-enabled cable.

• Not every HDMI socket on the television set needs to support ARC. In this case, the HDMI cable on the tele- vision set must be connected to another ARC-enabled HDMI socket. Usually, the respective HDMI sockets are labelled with ARC. If not, refer to the user instructions of your television set.

• For several television sets, the digital audio output must be activated. Select the audio output PCM 2.0 (PCM stereo).

1. Connect the socket HDMI (ARC)10 by means of an

ARC-enabled HDMI cable to an HDMI ARC socket of your television set.

2. Switch on the soundbase with the POWER 29 but-

3. By pressing the HDMI (ARC)17 button, select the

4. Switch on the television set. When the connection is es-

tablished for the first time, it may take several seconds until sound is output from the soundbase.

Establishing connection NOTES:

• The identification of the device is “SSBS36A1”.

• After it has been switched over to Bluetooth, the device automatically attempts to establish a connection with the last paired device.

• Please observe that the establishment process of the connection may vary slightly depending on the device and the software used.

1. Press the 15 button to switch over to a Bluetooth

connection. LED1 flashes blue.

2. Switch on the audio device (e.g. smartphone) and start

the Bluetooth connection.

3. The audio device will now receive the device identifi-

cation „SSBS36A1”. If nothing happens, press the PAIR5 button on the device or the 15 button on the remote control for approximately 1 second. The blue LED1 flashes rapidly.

4. Establish the connection with the soundbase on the au-

dio device. If you are asked for a password, enter “0000”. Both devices are now interconnected. LED1 now lights up in blue and a beep is heard. NOTE: usually, audio devices remember the identification of the device. In this case, it may not be necessary to es- tablish the connection manually again if the Bluetooth func- tion is activated.

5. Now play a music track on the audio device. The

sound is played back from the soundbase.

WW26, XXI22 and X/II25 buttons you can select and control the music tracks. Interruption of the connection The connection is interrupted if …one of the devices is switched off; …the Bluetooth function is switched off; …the range (approx. 10 metres) is exceeded; …you press the 15 or PAIR5 buttons until the blue LED is flashing. In this case, a new connection to an- other device can be established immediately.

7. Cleaning and storing

DANGER! Risk of electric shock! ~ Pull the power unit12 out of the wall socket before you clean the device. Make sure that no liquid gets into the device.

• Clean the device with a slightly damp cloth. In case of persistent contamination, you can also use a slightly more gentle cleaner such as detergent. Solvents, spir- its, thinners etc. must not be used, as they can damage the surface of the device.
