Before you start

Remove the sound bar and all accessories from the package and remove the plastic films. Verify that you have received all items listed.

Choosing a location

The ideal location for your sound bar is under the TV set. You can place the sound bar on a piece of furniture or mount it to the wall. Make sure that you use suitable wall-mounting material.

Tools/mounting material needed (not included in the package):

  • Drill (depending on the wall)
  • 2 screws and possibly 2 rawlplugs (depending on the wall) to fix to the wall. Please note that the screws must be suitable for the weight of the sound bar. The screw head and the screw shaft must be of at least the following dimensions to guarantee proper support:

>7mm <3mm

• Phillips screwdriver and possibly other screwdrivers, spirit level, pencil

You will also need the drilling template, 2 wall mounts (E), 2 adhesive foam pads (F) and 4 screws (G), (all included in the package)

Use 2 of the screws supplied (G, arrows) to mount the wall mounts (E) to the two gaps on the back of the sound bar. To do this, insert the Philips screwdriver through the gap in the wall mount. The small round-shaped part of the gap should point upwards.

SILVERCREST SMRB 40 A1 - Choosing a location - 2

natural_image Close-up of a rectangular electronic component with two white arrows pointing to its interior (no text or symbols visible)

Use the drilling template included and mark the drill holes on the wall. Use the spirit level to mark the holes at the same height.
Depending on the wall, next drill the required holes for the screws/rawlplugs. Insert the screws and twist them until the screw head is approx. 3 to 4 mm away from the wall.

SILVERCREST SMRB 40 A1 - Choosing a location - 3

2 adhesive foam pads (F) are included in the package. They are self-adhesive and will protect the wall where you want to mount the sound bar. Break and remove the stamped-out inner part of the foam pad (F). This inner part is no longer needed. Remove the film from the back and stick the foam pad (F) to the wall mounts you have already fitted so that the gap is not covered and the foam part of the adhesive pad touches the wall when the sound bar is hung on the wall.

SILVERCREST SMRB 40 A1 - Choosing a location - 4

natural_image Two identical white bottle silhouettes on black background, no text or symbols present

Next place the sound bar with the two wall mounts fitted to the 2 screw heads that are slightly away from the wall.

  1. Centre and press.
  2. Firmly press the sound bar downwards until the 2 screw heads are seated behind the round-shaped part of the gap.

Check that the sound bar is firmly fitted to both screws. If necessary, repeat the process. It may be necessary to rotate the screws clockwise or anticlockwise a little.

Installation recommendations and notes about the EQ settings

A carefully chosen speaker location is important for obtaining a good sound. Furniture, curtains and other objects all have a slight influence on the sound.

You should always try to install the speakers around head height for the listeners.

In order to minimise any unwanted sound reflections, there should be a minimum clearance of 0.8 m behind and beside the speakers. You can check for any sound reflections by moving the speaker closer and closer to a corner of the room. The bass component will rise the closer the speaker is placed to the corner.

Negative sound reflection can also occur from the surface (shelf, chest of drawers, etc.) on which the speaker is placed. There is a difference in sound if you place the speaker on the front edge of the furniture or in the centre of it.

When delivered, the sound is set for the installation conditions described above.

If you cannot find any location that meets the above requirements, you can still adjust the speaker sound in order to optimise it for the given environment.

To do so, select the sound setting that best describes the location from the following list.

Location / application Recommended sound settingEffect
The speaker is standing freely at the listeners' head height, minimum clearance to all walls 0.8 m.NORMAL Factory-default configuration for optimum location
FLAT Acoustically neutral frequencyrange
Music playback MUSIC Strong amplification of bass and treble
- The speaker is free-standing in a very large room.BASS BOOST Slightly amplified bass

Film and TV playback MOVIE Slight amplification of bass and treble
- The speaker is not at head height.- Sound in the room is muffled by curtains and carpets, etc.TREBLE BOOST Slightly amplified treble
- The speaker is placed in a room with large reflective surfaces like windows, plastered walls and tiled floors. - The speaker is placed in the middle of a cabinet/tableLOW TREBLE Slightly attenuated treble
Audio books, podcasts, TV mode VOCAL Amplified voice, slightly attenuated treble and bass
Film and TV playback 3D Virtual surround sound enabled

If you cannot obtain satisfactory results with the default sound settings, you can also adjust the bass and treble manually.

Equalizer "MY EQ"

The bass and treble values you set are saved in "MY EQ" and can be recalled by pressing the "MY EQ" button (37) on the remote control. Any modified bass and treble settings are always relative to the "NORMAL" sound setting.

SilverCrest Smart-Audio App

This app lets you control your sound bar conveniently from your smartphone or tablet PC. You can download the "SilverCrest Smart-Audio" control app from the Apple® App Store and from the Google® Play Store.

The SilverCrest Smart-Audio app allows you to navigate between the different functions, tune-in a different radio station, set the volume, etc.

Among others, the app supports the following functions:

- Access to Internet radio stations and podcasts

Configuring the network

The SMRB 40 A1 sound bar is connected to the network via Wi-Fi. The built-in Wi-Fi antenna receives the network router signals.

Alternatively, you can use a suitable network cable (not supplied) to connect the sound bar to your router. To do so, insert on end of the network cable into the LAN port (9) of your sound bar and the

other end into the corresponding port of your router. In this case you don't need to register the sound bar in your Wi-Fi network to control it with the SilverCrest Smart-Audio app.

In order for the sound bar to access the music files on the network, the network must meet the following requirements:

- DHCP must be enabled on the network router so the sound bar can obtain an IP address automatically.

- UPnP media sharing has to be enabled on the router.

If your router features a WPS button, the easiest way to connect the sound bar (A) to the network is using this button.

  • Place the power switch (17) in "ON" position to go to connection mode. After a brief initialisation period (yellow and blue LEDs on simultaneously, then one LED briefly lights up green) only the blue LED flashes slowly. If the LED does not flash, the sound bar must be reset:
    Press and hold the WPS / RESET button for approx. 15 seconds to restart the device. After a brief initialisation period (yellow and blue LEDs on simultaneously, then one LED lights green briefly) the blue LED flashes slowly and the device is in AP mode.
  • Next press the WPS button on your router and confirm the connection by briefly pressing the WPS / RESET button (14) on the sound bar (A) back panel.

SILVERCREST SMRB 40 A1 - Establishing the Wi-Fi connection via WPS - 1

What you need to know about setting up the network

Make sure that the smartphone and/or tablet with which you wish to register and operate your smart audio device in the network belongs to the relevant network.

To prevent unauthorised persons gaining access to the system, the WiFi network should be encrypted. There are numerous encryption algorithms, including WPS, WPA, WEP, etc. Make sure you use the same encryption algorithm for your multi-room product as for your wireless network. Otherwise, no connection can be established to the wireless network.

In large apartments or buildings with several storeys, a number of different wireless networks can be installed. Make sure that the network equipment (routers/repeaters) are connected to one another, otherwise your smart audio devices cannot communicate with one another and you will not be able to control them as expected.

Some smart audio devices also have a LAN connection socket which allows the device to be connected to the network via a network cable.

If you connect your sound bar to your network using a cable, make sure that the network cable for the relevant device is connected to the same network (WiFi) as your smartphone and/or tablet and any other smart audio devices.

In buildings with fixed network sockets in the walls, these sockets can often lead to different networks.

If this cannot be guaranteed, the devices cannot be controlled.

Other tips and instructions on setting up the network can be found on our website:

www.silvercrest-multiroom.com

WPS

Most wireless routers and access points have a WPS button. Press this button and then the WPS button on your multi-room device for the multi-room device to establish a connection with your wireless network. Make sure that the device you wish to use to control your multi-room products (e.g. smartphone or tablet) is also connected to the same wireless network (i.e. router or access point).

Dynamic/static IP addresses

By default, your multi-room device expects to be automatically assigned an IP address by your wireless router or access point when it connects to it (DHCP function activated). However, if you use static IP addresses for your network devices, this will not work. In this case, you need to manually assign your multi-room device an available IP address. See the operating instructions for your router.

Wireless range

Wireless routers normally work in the 2.4 GHz range, but this is also used by other RF devices (not only wireless networks). This can reduce speeds and ranges as the numerous wireless signals

interfere with each other. It is even possible that there is no reception any more just two rooms away. If necessary, install a repeater to extend the WiFi network range.

Combined wireless with 2.4 and 5 GHz

Older wireless devices are not able to work in the 2.4 and 5 GHz ranges at the same time. This applies not only to routers and access points, but also to PCs, laptops and other devices you may wish to use to control your multi-room system. If you cannot find or control your multi-room products or the connection is too slow, check that they really support both frequency ranges.

Router overnight standby function

If your router has an overnight standby function, it is possible that the sound bar will switch on automatically (but not automatically play music) when you switch the router back on again. In this case, the sound bar obviously consume electricity. If necessary, deactivate the overnight standby function.

Allow network discovery

Make sure that the wireless router or access point allows devices in the wireless network to be visible to one another and exchange data with one another. Otherwise, the sound bar is no longer visible after they have been set up.

Network glossary

Access Point Device which provides an access hub between a wireless (WiFi) network and a cabled one (LAN). It gives wireless-compatible devices (laptops, smartphones, loud-speakers, etc. with wireless functionality) access to the LAN and any other networks connected (e.g. the internet).

AP mode Operating mode in which a multi-room device can be connected and configured via the wireless network (WiFi) using the Smart-Audio App or another compatible app.

Bluetooth Industrial standard for wireless communication between devices. The range for this system is normally max. 10 m. After an initial synchronisation (pairing) between two devices, the wireless connection between them is automatically restored when the two devices are switched on and within range at a later date.

DHCP Abbreviation for "Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol". Computer networks can contain large numbers of computers. Each computer is given a unique IP address to ensure the data intended for it is only sent to it. There is the option either of assigning IP addresses yourself (these are then fixed) or leaving this to a device within the network (normally the router). And this is what the DHCP function does: after a computer is switched on, it is automatically assigned a free IP address which is valid until it is switched off again.

DLNAAbbreviation for "Digital Living Network Alliance". Guidelines which define the interaction between various multimedia devices when it comes to the transfer of digital content. They make it possible to transfer this content to fixed home devices, mobile devices and other products connected to various networks, including cable, satellite and mobile phone networks. These guidelines also include standards such as UPnP.
EthernetEthernet is without a doubt the most popular standard for computer networks. The signals can be transferred via various types of cables and at differing speeds. A computer is connected to one end of the cable, while the other end is connected to a hub or switch which acts a distributor within the network.
HubWithin the network, the hub is responsible for distributing data to the computers it is intended for. In larger networks, this can be connected to additional hubs or switches, themselves serving numerous computers. Many routers already incorporate a hub, allowing direct connection of multiple computers and quick setup of small home networks.
Internet radioInternet radio is an audio service transmitted via the internet. Listeners are provided with a permanent audio stream which cannot normally be paused, time-shifted or repeated. This is a radio broadcast which is not transmitted via radio waves.
IP AddressIn the same way as the postman needs a street and house number in order to deliver post, the target devices must be assigned addresses in data communication in order for the data to be delivered to the right device. On the internet and in conventional computer networks, this is the IP address. As a user, you do not normally need to think about IP addresses, as the applications and devices you use do this for themselves.
LANAbbreviation for "Local Area Network". The LAN is a traditional cabled network used in companies and now in the home. It consists of multiple computers and other devices which are connected with one another and can communicate and exchange data with one another. The LAN is often connected to the internet.
MultiroomA function whereby multiple compatible devices can be grouped on the wireless network and centrally controlled (e.g. via a smartphone app). For example, you can install one speaker per room, group them and then use your smartphone or tablet to control them centrally. For instance, if you select a radio station, it will be played on all grouped speakers.
NetworkA series of data processing devices which are connected together and can communicate with one another. This connection can be via cable (LAN) or via wireless (WiFi).
PairingOne-off synchronisation between two Bluetooth devices to "get to know one another". After two devices have been successfully paired once, the wireless connection between them is automatically restored when the two devices are switched on and within range at a later date.
PodcastDigital media file (audio or video) which is broadcast via the internet or another network on request. This is not a live stream.
RepeaterA repeater extends the range of a wireless network. This lets you include devices originally located outside the WiFi range into the wireless network via the repeater.
RouterThe router is the link between a local network (LAN) or wireless network (WiFi) and the internet. Many routers incorporate a hub or switch to allow direct access to the internet from various computers to form a small home network.
Smart-AudioAn app based on the UNDOK standard which allows multi-room systems to be controlled by a smartphone or tablet.
SpotifyA commercial music streaming service which allows the music of your choice to be played on various devices and operating systems (computers, smartphones, tablets, smart TVs, etc.).
SwitchMany routers already incorporate a switch, allowing direct connection of multiple computers and quick setup of small home networks.
UNDOKUNDOK has become established as the standard for Multi-room systems. It is an app which allows Multi-room devices to be grouped and controlled from a smartphone or tablet.
UpdateAn update refers to upgrading a software. An update may include enhancements or new features.
UPnPAbbreviation for "Universal Plug and Play". A series of network protocols which allow devices in the network to find one another, communicate and share data easily without requiring specific intervention or knowledge.
EncryptionTo prevent unauthorised persons gaining access to a wireless network, it should be encrypted. There are numerous encryption algorithms, including WPS, WPA, WEP, etc.
WiFiAbbreviation for "Wireless Fidelity". A standard which enables computers, smartphones, digital cameras and other compatible devices to establish a connection with a wireless network (WLAN). The WiFi environment is normally provided by an access point connected to a cabled network (LAN) or the internet via a router.
WLANAbbreviation for "Wireless Local Area Network". The WLAN is the modern variant of a computer network which is used in small companies and households. It consists of multiple computers and other devices which are connected with one another and can communicate and exchange data with one another. However, unlike a LAN, the data is transferred wirelessly rather than by cable. To ensure the wireless signals are not intercepted by unauthorised parties, encryption of the signals is very important. The WLAN is often connected to the internet.
WPSAbbreviation for "WiFi Protected Setup". For security reasons, wireless networks are encrypted and a password is required to establish a connection to them. On the one hand, this password can be defined manually. In this case, the user needs to enter the password to establish a connection. On the other hand, there is the option whereby a button is pressed on the access point or router providing the wireless network with a few moments to attempt synchronisation with the connecting device (e.g. smartphone). This is achieved

using the WPS function. As with Bluetooth, this synchronisation is only required once. The access data for the WLAN is saved and the device (e.g. smartphone) restores the network connection as soon as it is in range and its wireless function is activated.
