Set-up in general
The unit is suitable for various set-up solutions. Please pay attention to the
respective mounting instructions.
Only place the unit with a table or stand on a level, firm, horizontal surface.
When being set up, the unit should, in particular, not protrude into or over
furniture.
Do not set up the unit near strong heat sources or in direct sunlight. Always
protect the unit from moisture, cold, shock and mechanical stress and dirt.
When setting up the unit, ensure that air can circulate easily and that there is
no heat accumulation. Do not cover the openings at the rear. Keep a distance
of at least 5 cm above, behind and below this unit.
Keep this unit away from other electrical household equipment, motors or
transformers to avoid crackling noises.
Set the unit up in such a way that the infrared signal from the remote control
can reach the Sound Projector display without being impeded.
Do not place anything containing a liquid or burning candles on top of the
unit.
Do not place any strong artificial light source in front of the unit. This could
have a detrimental effect on the infrared reception.
Incorrect voltages can damage the unit. This unit may only be connected up
to an electricity supply with the voltage and frequency stated on the rating
plate. Select the mains cable suitable for use in your country and connect to
a socket with a properly connected protective ground.
In thunderstorms, disconnect the TV antennae and mains plug. A voltage
surge caused by lightning conducted through the antenna system or the mains
could damage the unit.
During a lengthy absence the plug should be disconnected from the mains.
The mains plug must be easy to reach to ensure that the unit can be
disconnected from the mains at any time.
Position the mains cable in such a way that it can not be damaged. The mains
cable may not be bent or laid across sharp edges, walked on or exposed to
any chemicals; the latter applies to the whole unit.
When you want to unplug from the mains, do not pull on the cable, but on the
housing of the plug. The cables in the mains plug could otherwise be damaged
and could cause a short-circuit when being plugged in again.
Stop using the unit immediately if the mains cable is damaged. A mains
cable with damaged insulation can cause electric shocks and represents a
fire hazard.
Do not use any force when operating the controls, sockets or cables.
Please also read and follow the safety advice on page 7.

off the walls in your room. The surround sound effect generated by this unit may not
be sufficient if the unit is installed in a room with the following characteristics.
Rooms in which the walls are not suitable for reflecting soundwaves.
Rooms with sound damping surfaces.
Rooms with dimensions outside the following range: width (3 - 7 m) × height
( - 3.5 m) × depth (3 - 7 m).
Rooms in which the listening position is less than 1.8 m away from the
loudspeaker position.
Rooms in which, for example, furniture could block the path of the sound
beams.
Rooms in which the listening position is close to the wall.
Rooms in which the listening position is not in front of this unit.
Install the Sound Projector in a position where the path of the sound beams is not
impeded by obstacles, such as furniture. Otherwise the desired surround sound
effects may not be obtained.
You can install the unit parallel to the wall or in a corner.
Position parallel to the wall
Install the Sound Projector exactly in the middle of the wall, measured precisely
from the left and the right corner.
Position in a corner
Install the Sound Projector in a corner at an angle of 40º to 50º to the adjoining
walls.
