If your have moved your Individual Sound speaker system from a cold to a warm environment, leave it standing for about one hour before switching on because of the possible formation of condensation. Do not switch on until it has reached room temperature. This avoids seriously damaging the components.15 - Deutsch English Français Italiano Español Nederlands Setting up Cleaning Only clean your Individual Sound loudspeaker system with a damp, soft, clean cloth (without aggressive cleaning agents). Installing the Individual Sound speaker system Basic information Caution: THE ALUMINIUM SURFACE OF THE LOEWE SUBWOOFER 800 IS VERY SENSITIVE TO SCRATCHING AND IMPACT. AVOID ALL CONTACT WITH SHARP OBJECTS. DO NOT PLACE VASES, CANDLES OR OTHER OBJECTS ON TOP OF THE SUBWOOFER.

• Place subwoofer, standing speaker and satellite speakers with stand on a rm, level base.

• Do not place the subwoofers and speakers near to strong sources of heat or in direct sunlight.

• When installing on a wall, in a cabinet or a closed shelf: Leave about 10 cm free space around the subwoofer to allow air to circulate unhindered and avoid build up of heat or acoustic pressure.

• Pull out the power cable during thunderstorms. Surge voltages caused by lightning strikes can damage the TV through the antenna system and the mains.

• Also remove the antenna and mains plugs in long periods of absence.

• The power plug of the TV set must be easily accessible so that the TV can be disconnected from the power supply at all times.

• Lay the speaker and power cables in such a way that they cannot be damaged. The power cable may not be kinked or laid over sharp edges, not stood on and not exposed to chemicals; the latter also applies to the system as a whole. A power cable with damaged insulation can lead to electric shocks and is a re risk and must therefore be changed by qualied service personnel before operation of the set continues.

• When removing the power plug, pull the plug housing and not the cable. The wires in the plug could be damaged and cause a short circuit the next time it is plugged in.

• The speakers generate magnetic dispersion elds which act in the vicinity of the housing. We recommend a minimum distance of > 0.5 m from magnetically sensitive equipment such as CRT-TV sets, magnetic data media etc. Subwoofer You can position the subwoofer anywhere on the oor. We recommend the front area of the room but in such a way that the bass tones can radiate freely to the side and downwards. Important: Never obstruct the air vents on the back of the subwoofer. Makes sure it is far enough away (> 10 cm) from the oor or wall. Mount the two enclosed elastic buffers on the bottom rear of the subwoofer so that the air circulation cannot be obstructed by slipping against the wall. 20 mm 20 mm- 16 Deutsch English Français Italiano Español Nederlands Setting up Suggestion for positioning solution Front left Front right Rear left Rear right Loewe TV set Loewe Subwoofer 80017 - Deutsch English Français Italiano Español Nederlands AudioLinkLine InSpeaker Out Power Mode Left CenterRightLeft Right Left Right230V~50/60Hz Left PhaseEqualizerCrossoverFrequency Bass Intensity 180° -3dB +6dB 50Hz 250Hz min max

Switching the subwoofer on/off Switch the Power switch to the ON position to switch on the energy supply (mains 230V/50Hz) for the Loewe Subwoofer 800. Set the switch to OFF to switch off the subwoofer completely. Automatic or manual operation If the subwoofer is connected as described on page 8 and the Mode switch is in the Auto position, you no longer need to switch the subwoofer on and off separately. After switching on the subwoofer for the first time it is switched on and off automatically with the Loewe TV set. If the subwoofer is operated on other devices than the Loewe Flat-TV, the Mode switch must be switched to the Manu. position. The subwoofer must then be switched on/off manually with the Power switch . Settings on the Loewe TV set Log in the new devices as described in the operating manual of your Loewe TV set in the chapter “Operating additional equipment – Connecting audio ampliers”. Setting the equalizer Using the knob Equalizer you can set the lowest frequency ranges (20 Hz - 50 Hz) for bass playback to be raised or lowered.

• If the Subwoofer is near the corner of the room, then set the knob Equalizer more in the direction min.

• If the Subwoofer is near a wall, then set the knob Equalizer more in the middle position.

• If the Subwoofer is freely positioned in the room, then set the knob Equalizer more in the direction max. Phase switch With the phase converter Phase you have the option of optimising the bass playback. However, you can easily make this setting in connection with a Loewe Flat TV (from chassis L27xx/SL1xx/SL2xx with integrated digital multi-channel audio decoder onwards) using a remote control via the TV menu in the sound component assistant (see operating instructions under “Setting loudspeaker system“). The phase converter is designed for systems where settings can not be made using the TV. We recommend you to proceed as follows:

• Start DVD playback for example and select a title with bass parts.

• Have a second person activate the phase switch whilst you sit and listen.

• Decide for yourself which switch position reproduces the best bass sound. Bass intensity Using the controller Bass-Intensity you can set the basic bass volume to suit you. Setting the crossover frequency The Crossover Frequency knob gives you the possibility of setting the limit frequency for bass reproduction between 50 Hz and 250 Hz depending on which speakers you have connected. The knob should be set to 250 Hz for Loewe Audio Systems because the crossover frequency is set in the Loewe audio sources (TV). Cover on the subwoofer After you have made the settings described in “Commissioning and setting”, replace the cover on the rear of the subwoofer.
