7. CONNECTING EXTERNAL DEVICES

WARNING!

• Turn down the volume on the devices before you connect them to one another.
• Switch off all devices before you connect them to one another, and comply with the instructions for the devices that you wish to connect.

7.1 HDMI ARC CONNECTION

HDMI (ARC)

ARC stands for "Audio Return Channel" and means that audio signals can be transmitted in both directions. A device equipped with HDMI (ARC) can both receive and transmit audio signals.

HDMI (CEC)

CEC stands for "Consumer Electronics Control". If two or more CEC devices are connected to one another, then at least the basic functions such as switching on and off can be operated via a remote control.

Example: the 2.1 Sound System is connected via a CEC enabled HDMI cable to a CEC enabled television. If the television is now switched on with the television remote control, the 2.1 Sound System will also switch on. (However, the television must send and receive a signal. If, for example, the television is receiving the television signal via a set top box, this must also be switched on.)

In order to be able to use the ARC function, external devices that are connected to the 2.1 Sound System must also have an ARC enabled HDMI interface. In combination with an HDMI ARC enabled television, the sound can thus be sent to the 2.1 Sound System without an additional audio cable.

2.1 Sound System

GB

Connecting external devices

1. Check ...

... whether the external device has an HDMI ARC input.

... whether the ARC function can be used permanently on all HDMI connections on the external device or if the ARC function must be switched on first. Please refer to the manual of the external device.

Chromecast

11. CHROMECAST

This function allows you to control the loudspeaker from a smartphone, tablet or laptop, in order to play sound from Chromecast enabled apps. To do this, the smartphone, tablet or laptop is connected to a loudspeaker on a WLAN network via the "Google Home" app.

NOTES:

• You can control this function from the following devices: iPhone or iPad, Android smartphone or tablet, laptop (Mac or Windows) or Chromebook.
• The function is not switched on for the 2.1 Sound System, after setting up the "Google Home" app, but rather using Chromecast enabled apps.
• Because of easier legibility, the procedure for a smartphone is described below.

Installing "Google Home" app

Install the "Google Home" app on the smartphone.

1. In the App Store (for Apple devices) or the Play Store (for Android devices), download the free "Google Home" app and install it.

2. Follow the installation instructions and make the initial settings.

Please note: for a successful connection with the loudspeaker, you need to give the "Google Home" app permission to access your location.

Connecting devices via WLAN

The smartphone now sets up the connection to the loudspeaker via the "Google Home" app.

Requirement:

• Both devices must be within the range of the same WLAN. This WLAN must be selected and activated on the smartphone.
• Bluetooth must be activated on the smartphone.

• The devices should be close together in order to establish a good Bluetooth connection.

• Plug the mains plug into a power socket and wait through the startup process, until the LED starts double-flashing rapidly.

• Open the "Google Home" app on the smartphone.

1. Tap on the icon in the top right corner. It will begin the search process for devices available on the network.

2. When the loudspeaker with the identification "AudioAffairsCCX010xxxx" is found, make the necessary settings in the app. Follow the instructions in the app. The setup process may take a few minutes.

Chromecast 2.1 Sound System

You will know when the connection has been successfully established, both from a notification in the app and because the MODE LED lights up in white.

NOTES:

• xxxx in the identification gives the last 4 digits of the MAC address of the loudspeaker, which you can find on the back of the loudspeaker. You can use this marking to tell the difference between multiple loudspeakers of the same type.
• Using the "Google Home" app, you can change the name of the loudspeaker in the settings for the device, e.g. naming it after the room in which the loudspeaker is set up. Please note that this name change also changes the Bluetooth identification.

- If you have multiple loudspeakers integrated into the same network, you can group loudspeakers so that they playback the same stream. Tap on the icon in the top right corner of the "Google Home" app, and group the loudspeakers.

Controlling the loudspeaker via apps

When you have successfully connected the loudspeaker with your smartphone via "Google Home", you can control the loudspeaker via Chromecast enabled apps.

• The "Google Home" app displays apps that are Chromecast enabled.
• Controlling the loudspeaker works differently in the various apps. Learn how in the help function of the respective app.
• Look for the Chromecast symbol: Often this can be used to select the loudspeaker.
• Look for options such as "Available devices" or "Connect to a device".
• When you have successfully connected the loudspeaker to the app, you can control the functions start/pause and volume both on the smartphone and on the loudspeaker itself.
