• If mounting the speakers on the wall, make sure that the job is carried out by a professional.
• Only use suitable wall holders to mount the speakers. Verify the carrying capacity of the walls.
• Do not place the unit near sources of heat (e.g. heaters, ovens, other heat generating equipment such as amplifiers etc.).

Risk of damage!

External influences may damage or destroy the device.

• If the unit is to be left unsupervised for a long period (e.g. during a holiday), or if a thunderstorm is forecast, disconnect the mains plug from the power socket. Otherwise, a sudden overvoltage may cause a defect.
• Leaked batteries may damage the remote control. In case of prolonged absence, remove any batteries from the remote control.
• If the device is subjected to warm temperatures after being cold (e.g. after transport), condensation may occur inside of it. In this case, wait at least 2 hours before you connect and activate it.

Setup location

Clnebar® 21 Mk2

A location directly under the TV set is ideal. Hang the Cinebar ^® 21 Mk2 either directly to the wall or place it on the stand b below the TV set.

Subwoofer

If possible, you should also place the subwoofer on the floor close to the television. However, you can also set it up in another location in the room as the listener's ears are unable to locate lower tones. Operating the device in the corner of a room is not recommended.

Location tips

• Select a stable, level base.
  Please consider the following chapter when mounting the device on the wall.
• Make sure that the environment is clean and free from dust.
• Avoid placing the unit close to sources of heat or in direct sunlight.
• Arrange the connector cables so that they do not pose a trip hazard.
• Do not place any heavy objects on top of the cables or the units.

Wall mounting

You will need the following material for wall mounting on a solid stone wall:

• 2 x dowels (ø 8 mm)
• 2x screws, 5x50 mm
  (screw head = ∅ 10-12 mm)

Risk of damage and electrical shock!

Proceed with caution when mounting the device on the wall and follow the instruc-

tions provided below.

• Only skilfull persons may mount the Cinebar ^® 21 Mk2 on the wall.
• The product may only be mounted on a suitable, solid wall. Special dowels or brackets may be necessary for walls with a lightweight construction. Consult a professional.

• Make sure that no cables or pipes are located in the areas where you are drilling. Use a metal detector to check the areas before drilling.

• Mark the hole distance between the two wall mounting profiles of 61.25 cm on the wall where you intend to install the Cinebar® 21 Mk2. Use a folding rule, pencil and level for this purpose.

• Use a metal detector to ensure that there are no cables or pipes in the areas where you intend to drill. If necessary, select another place for installation.
• With an 8 mm masonry drill, drill a hole that is approx. 45 mm deep at each of the marked positions.
• Insert 2 dowels ( 8 mm) completely in the drill holes.
• Screw one screw (5 x 50 mm) into each of the dowels until the distance between the wall and screw head is approx. 4 mm.

A

1. Push the Cinebar ^® 21 Mk2 up against the wall so that the screws disappear into the holes (A). Now pull the Cinebar ^® 21 Mk2 down so that the screws slip into the narrow slot.

2. If necessary, turn the screws further into or out of the holes until the Cinebar ^® 21 Mk2 is firmly mounted on the wall.
