Frequently Asked Questions - Subwoofer 800 LOEWE

How to connect the subwoofer to a Loewe television?

For a Loewe TV with a Digital Audiolink connector (SL2xx), use the included Digital Audiolink/Audiolink converter. Connect the network cable (CAT5e) between the TV and the converter, then plug the converter into the Audiolink connector on the subwoofer. For L27xx/SL1xx TVs, directly use the included Audiolink cable with a 25-pin connector. Remove the subwoofer's rear cover to access the connections.

How to adjust the equalizer?

The Equalizer dial adjusts low frequencies (20-50 Hz). Turn towards min if the subwoofer is near a corner, towards max if it's in the center of the room, and to the center position if it's near a wall. Adjust according to the location for optimal bass reproduction.

How to use the phase inverter?

The Phase switch optimizes bass playback. For compatible Loewe TVs, you can adjust it using the remote control in the TV menu. Otherwise, play content with heavy bass, then have another person toggle the phase switch while you listen from your listening position. Choose the setting that provides the best bass response.

How to clean the subwoofer?

Clean the subwoofer only with a soft, damp, and clean cloth. Do not use any corrosive cleaning products. Avoid scratching the sensitive aluminum surface.

Can I use the subwoofer with other brands?

Yes, you can connect the subwoofer to an external audio source via the RCA inputs. However, the auto on/off function and control via the Loewe TV will not be available. You will then need to use manual mode (Mode switch set to Manu) and turn the power on/off manually.

What to do in case of prolonged absence?

Unplug the subwoofer and TV from the mains. During a storm, also disconnect the antenna. This prevents damage from overvoltages or lightning. The mains plug must remain easily accessible so you can disconnect the device at any time.

How to activate automatic mode?

Set the Mode switch to Auto and connect the subwoofer to a compatible Loewe TV. After initial power-on, the subwoofer will turn on and off automatically with the TV. If using an external source, switch to Manu mode.

What are the recommended settings for bass intensity?

Use the Bass-Intensity control to adjust the loudness of bass to your preference. The setting is personal, but start at a middle position and adjust based on listening. The intensity can be adjusted by ±12 dB.

How to install the elastic pads?

Mount the two included elastic pads on the lower rear part of the subwoofer. This prevents the air intake from being blocked if the device slides against the wall. Ensure a gap of at least 10 cm around the subwoofer for proper ventilation.

Where can I find the full user manual?

The full user manual is provided with the device in paper format. You can also download it for free as a PDF from notice-facile.com by searching 'Loewe Subwoofer 800'. It is available in multiple languages, including English.

Herzlich willkommen

Vielen Dank,

Loewe Technologies GmbH Printed in Germany

for choosing a Loewe product. We are happy to have you as a customer.

At Loewe we combine the highest standards of technology, design and user friendliness. This applies equally for TV, DVD, video and accessories.

Neither technology nor design is an end in itself, but both are intended to provide our customers with the best possible audio and visual experience.

Our design is not influenced by short-term, fashionable trends. You have, after all, purchased a high-quality piece of equipment which you do not want to get tired of looking at tomorrow or the day after.

The Loewe subwoofer 800 is fine-tuned for use with Loewe TV sets (from chassis L27xx/SL1xx/SL2xx) as well as with Loewe loudspeaker systems.

Loewe TV sets (from chassis L27xx/SL1xx/SL2xx) with an integrated digital multichannel audio decoder transfer the audio signals to the subwoofer via an audiolink cable or via a digital audiolink cable. The Loewe subwoofer 800 then switches itself on and off with the Loewe TV set.

The audio settings can be selected conveniently using the menus of the Loewe TV set.

You can also use the Loewe subwoofer 800 along with an external audio source. However, you then lose the Loewe system advantages (e.g. automatic on/off switching). In this case, see your decoder (e.g. AV receiver) for operating instructions.

For your safety

For your safety and to avoid unnecessary damage to your TV set, please read and observe the following safety instructions:

• Your Individual Sound speaker system is designed exclusively for playing audio signals.
• Always switch off your system (Individual Sound speaker system, TV set and any other connected components) before connecting or disconnecting other equipment or speakers.
• Never operate the Individual Sound speaker system unsupervised. Switch off the power switch or pull out the mains plug during longer periods of absence.

Protect your Individual Sound speaker system against ...

• Damp, moisture, rain, splashing water or dew
• Knocks and mechanical stresses
• Magnetic and electrical fields
• Higher electrical powers than specified
  Cold, heat, direct sunlight and extreme temperature variations
  Dust
• Covering which obstructs air circulation - especially the rear
  Manipulations inside the set

Do not place objects containing liquids on top of the unit.

Candles and other open flames must be kept away from the unit at all times to prevent the spread of fire.

Your Individual Sound speaker system was designed exclusively for private use in a domestic environment. The warranty conditions only cover this intended use.

WARNING: TO RULE OUT DANGER OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, NEVER REMOVE THE AMPLIFIER COVER. THERE ARE NO PARTS INSIDE THE HOUSING WHICH CAN BE REPAIRED BY THE USER. HAVE REPAIRS DONE ONLY BY YOUR LOEWE DEALER.

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.

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 firm, level base.
• Do not place the subwoofoers 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 10cm 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 fire risk and must therefore be changed by qualified 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 fields which act in the vicinity of the housing. We recommend a minimum distance of >0.5m from magnetically sensitive equipment such as CRT-TV sets, magnetic data media etc.

Subwoofer

You can position the subwoofer anywhere on the floor. 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 ( >10cm ) from the floor 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.

Setting up

Connection

Wiring Loewe TV set (from L27xx/SL1xx) - Loewe Subwoofer 800

LoeweTV set

Connection

Connecting the speakers to the subwoofer

Connect the speaker cable to the speaker according to the appropriate installation instructions. One of the two wires of the speaker cable is marked black in the usual way. Connect this black marked cable respectively with the black screw terminal to the subwoofer (connection diagram see figure right) and the black terminal on the speaker.

Turn the screw connection of the respective terminal on the subwoofer anticlockwise about 5 turns for this. Feed the wire end into the screw terminal (top right hand side) and close the screw terminal in clockwise direction.

Connect the unmarked wires with the red terminals.

Laying the cables

Feed all cables down through the slot in the housing of the subwoofer. Bundle the cables with the Velcro tape provided.

You can feed the cables tidily out of the subwoofer with the fabric hose available as an accessory.

Connecting the subwoofer to the mains

Plug the mains plug of the subwoofer into a 230 V AC socket.

Commissioning and setting

Before beginning with start-up and operation, make sure that all the cables are connected correctly.

Switching the subwoofer on/off

Switch the Power switch ⑨ 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 回 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 ⑨ must be switched to the Manu. position. The subwoofer must then be switched on/off manually with the Power switch ⑨ .

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 amplifiers".

Setting the equalizer

Using the knob Equalizer ④ 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 ③ 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 ⑥ you can set the basic bass volume to suit you.

Setting the crossover frequency

The Crossover Frequency knob ⑤ gives you the possibility of setting the limit frequency for bass reproduction between 50Hz and 250Hz depending on which speakers you have connected.

The knob should be set to 250Hz 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.

Disposal

Cardboard box and packaging

You have opted for a durable and technically sophisticated product. In line with national regulations regarding the disposal of packaging materials, we pay a fee to authorised recyclers who collect packaging from dealers. However, we recommend that you keep the original cardboard box and the rest of the packaging materials so that the unit can, if necessary, be transported in the safest possible conditions.

Important: The EU Directive 2002/96/EG governs the proper re-acceptance, handling and recycling of used electronic appliances.

Old electronic appliances must therefore be disposed of separately. Never throw this set in the normal domestic waste. You can hand in your old set free of charge at identified collection points or at your dealer if you buy a similar new set. Other details about re-acceptance (also for non-EU countries) are available from your local administration.
