DANGER! Risk of electric shock

• If the power cable or the device is damaged, immediately pull the mains plug out of the power socket.

• Do not use the device if there is visible damage to the housing or the mains lead.

• It is not permitted to make modifications to the device. Repairs to the housing and mains lead may only be carried out by the service centre. If the mains lead of this device is damaged, it must be replaced by a special power cable that is available from our service centre.

• Only connect the mains lead to a properly installed, easily accessible power sock- et. The power socket must still be easily accessible after connection.

• Lay all cables in such a way that they do not represent a tripping hazard.

• When setting up the device, make sure that the mains lead is not pinched or squeezed. Keep the mains lead away from hot surfaces and sharp edges.

• To disconnect the device completely from the mains, remove the mains plug from the power socket.

• Disconnect the mains plug from the power socket ... ... when you are not using the device, ... if you want to clean the device and ... during thunderstorms.

• Never open the casing of the device; it contains no parts requiring maintenance! When the casing is open, there is danger of death from electric shock.

• The device is not disconnected from the power supply when it is switched off. FIRE HAZARD

• Candles and other open flames must be kept away from the product at all times in order to prevent the spread of fire. DANGER from batteries

• Keep new and old batteries out of the reach of children.

• Batteries can be life-threatening. Therefore you should store batteries and the re- mote control out of the reach of young children. If a battery has been swallowed, medical assistance must be sought immediately. Otherwise the person who swal- lowed it may experience serious internal burns within 2 hours, which may prove fatal.

• The battery must not be charged or reactivated by other means, nor may it be dis- mantled, thrown into a fire or short-circuited.

• There is a danger of explosion if the battery is not correctly replaced. Replace only with the same or an equivalent type.

• When inserting the battery, make sure the polarity is correct (+/-).

• Remove the battery from the remote control if you do not intend to use the re- mote control for a prolonged period. The battery might leak and damage the re- mote control.

• If the battery compartment will not close properly, stop using the remote control and keep it away from children.

• Do not subject the battery to extreme conditions, e.g. do not place the remote control on radiators or expose it to direct sunlight. Otherwise, there is an in- creased danger of batteries leaking.

• Remove a flat battery immediately from the remote control! There is an increased danger of the batteries leaking.

• If battery fluid has leaked out, avoid contact with the skin, eyes and mucous membranes. In the event of contact with the liquid, rinse the affected areas with copious amounts of clean water and consult a doctor immediately. WARNING of accidents caused by incorrect set-up

• Do not place television sets or other devices on the TV sound stand which are heavier than 35 kg and/or whose base size is smaller than 48 x 22 cm.

• Always place other devices centrally on the TV sound stand so that they do not fall off. Please also note the drawing - see page 49. WARNING! Risk of material damage

• If the device is moved from a cold location to a warm location, condensate may form in the device. Leave the device switched off for a few hours.

• Place the device on a stable, flat surface.

• Please ensure adequate ventilation around the device. Keep a distance of at least 10 cm on all sides. Do not cover the device (e.g. with magazines, tablecloths, cur- tains, etc.).

• Set up the device in such a way that it is not exposed to direct sunlight.

• The device is fitted with non-slip plastic feet. As furniture is coated with a variety of different varnishes and acrylics, and treated with different cleaning agents, it cannot be completely ruled out that components are contained in some of these substances that could damage and soften the plastic feet. If necessary, place a non-slip mat under the device.

• Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning. Do not use any corrosive or abrasive cleaning agents. These could damage the surface of the device. _TVS264_2018_Soundstand_AudioAffairs.book Seite 45 Donnerstag, 30. August 2018 9:17 09Device overview TV Sound Stand

8.1 HDMI (ARC) CONNECTION

HDMI (ARC) ARC stands for "Audio Return Channel" and means that audio signals can be transmit- ted in both directions. A device equipped with HDMI (ARC) can both receive and trans- mit audio signals. HDMI (CEC) CEC stands for "Consumer Electronics Control". If two or more CEC devices are connect- ed to one another, then at least the basic functions such as switching on and off can be operated via a remote control. Example: the TV sound stand is connected via a CEC-compatible HDMI cable to a CEC- enabled TV set. If the TV is now switched on with the TV remote control, the TV sound stand will also switch on. (However, the TV must send and receive a signal. If, for exam- ple, the TV is receiving the TV signal via a Set Top Box, this must also be switched on.) In order to be able to use the ARC function, external devices which are connected to the TV sound stand must also have an ARC-capable HDMI interface. In combination with an HDMI ARC-capable TV, the sound can be sent to the TV sound stand without an additional audio cable. HDMI (ARC)

... 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.

now control the sound of the TV sound stand via the TV remote control.

8.2 COAXIAL CONNECTION

NOTE: you may have to switch the sound output to the coaxial output on your TV. To connect external devices to the COAXIAL socket, you need a coaxial cable. The ca- ble is not included in the scope of supply.

1. Use a coaxial cable to connect the coaxial output of the external device to the

2. Press the button to turn on the TV sound stand and also the external device.

3. For the playback press the COAX button on the remote control of the TV sound

stand. COAXIAL appears on the display.

4. Then start playback on the external device.

The volume can be adjusted via the TV sound stand. NOTE: it may be better to switch off the volume on the external device and listen to the sound only via the TV sound stand.

5. Switch off both devices before disconnecting.

The AUX socket allows you, for example, to connect the headphones or stereo output of your TV. The cable must have a 3.5mm jack plug at one end for the AUX socket. Which plug needs to be on the other end depends on the audio output port of the ex- ternal device. (A 3.5 mm jack plug to 3.5 mm jack plug audio cable is included.)

1. Use an audio cable to connect the audio output port of the external device to the

2. Press the button to turn on the TV sound stand and also the external device.

stand. AUX appears on the display.

4. Then start playback on the external device.

The volume can be adjusted via the external device and the TV sound stand. NOTES: - It may be better to switch off the volume on the external device and listen to the sound only via the TV sound stand. - Some television sets switch off all sound outputs when a plug is inserted into the headphone socket.

5. Switch off both devices before disconnecting.

NOTE: if the playback is distorted, this may be because the volume level on the exter- nal device is set too high. Turn down the volume on the external device, and instead increase the volume on the TV sound stand.

Inserting/changing the battery of the remote control DANGER! There is a danger of explosion if the battery is not correctly replaced. Replace only with the same or an equivalent type. NOTE: the remote control is supplied with an inserted battery. Pull the plastic strip out of the remote control before using it for the first time. A Phillips screwdriver is required for this.

1. Release the small screw on the underside of the

remote control with a Phillips screwdriver.

2. Pull out the battery compartment.

3. Insert the battery (CR2025 3V) or replace the old

battery with a new one. The positive pole (+) of the battery must point upwards.
