Please read this chapter carefully and follow all instructions. In doing so you

will ensure the reliable operation of and a long life cycle for your 5.1 system.

Keep the manual close to your 5.1 system. Store the manual safely so that

you can pass it on to the new owner should you sell your speakers.

OPERATIONAL SAFETY

•Never open the housing of the 5.1 system, the

speakers or the power adapter! There is life threaten-

ing danger by electric shock, if the housing of the

power adapter is opened. There are no serviceable

parts inside.

•Children should never play unattended with elec-

trical equipment.

Children cannot always recognize potential hazards

properly.

•This 5.1 system is not designed for operation in a

heavy industry environment.

LOCATION

Follow these instructions to connect your 5.1 system properly:

A power outlet must be close to the device and easily accessible.

Run cables in a way that no one can step or trip over them.

The power feed to your device is interrupted only, when the power

plug is removed from the power outlet. If you switch off the de-

vice using the power switch, then the power feed is not interrupted.

Always hold the plug when removing. To avoid damage never pull the

power cord.

Operate the power adapter only on grounded outlets with 120 V AC ~

60Hz. When in doubt about the power type at the location, contact the

related power utility company.

To avoid damage never place objects on the power cord.

Do not expose your 5.1 system, the loudspeakers and all connected devices

to humidity. Avoid dust, heat and exposure to direct sunlight to pre-

vent operating failures.

Place and operate all components on a stable and flat surface, free of

vibrations, to prevent the loudspeakers from tumbling.

Provide a suitable ambient temperature:

AMBIENT TEMPERATURE

The 5.1 system can be operated in an ambient temperature range between

32° F to 104° F and a relative humidity between 20% - 80% (non-

condensing). When switched off the 5.1 system can be stored between -4°

F and 158° F and at a relative humidity between 20% - 90% (non-

condensing).

ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPLIANCE

The guidelines for electromagnetic compliance (EMC) must be

obeyed when connecting.

Only use the supplied power cord.

Keep a distance of at least three feet from sources of high fre-

quency or magnetic interference (TV sets, other loudspeakers, mo-

bile phones, etc.) to avoid malfunction and data loss.

SERVICE

Please contact Medion Customer Care should you experience technical prob-

lems with your 5.1 system.

Remove the power plug and contact our service organization, if…

fluid has penetrated the inside of the device.

the 5.1 system does not operate properly.

the device has fallen down or the housing is damaged.

CLEANING

Clean the 5.1 system with a damp towel. Do not use solvents, ag-

gressive or aerosol detergents.

You can experience surround sound effects with your 5.1 speaker system

provided the following conditions are met:

the medium (usually DVD) must support surround sound.

ÂNote: Depending on the movie title surround sound ef-

fects may vary in intensity.

the connected source (DVD-player, sound card) must feature the

required connections and functions.

Furthermore, your 5.1 system must be properly connected and posi-

tioned, so that the optimal surround effect can be gained:

POSITIONING THE 5.1 SPEAKERS

Position the loudspeakers in such a way, that the audience is in the canter.

The satellite speakers may be distributed freely. Two satellite speakers

have longer cables, so that they can be positioned according to the space

in the room:

CONNECTING THE 5.1 SYSTEM

Please read the chapter "Safety and Service" starting on page 2 before

connecting your system.

1. CONNECTING THE LOUDSPEAKERS

After having positioned the components connect the cables of the loud-

speakers. Use the drawing on page 6 and the table below as guide:

Loudspeaker Connection at the 5.1 System ( p. 6) Loudspeaker plug

Front left 5, FRONT L – RCA White RCA black

Front right 6, FRONT R – RCA Red RCA black

Rear left 7, REAR L – RCA White RCA black

Rear right 8, REAR R – RCA Red RCA black

Center 9, CENTER – RCA Yellow RCA black

2. CONNECTING THE SOUND SOURCE

Your 5.1 system can take input from a PC with 5.1 outputs, a DVD-player, or

another suitable source with the corresponding output connections.

ÂTip: 1/8" stereo female plugs are required. When not available,

then adapters are required.

ÂAttention: Digital connections are not supported and can dam-

age the device.

1. Locate the output connections of the sound source (sound card, DVD-player) and

connect the device with the included cables. The connections are usually color-

coded.

The colors might slightly vary. Check the manual of your device as a safeguard.

Use below table as a guide:

Connection on the 5.1 system (p. 6) Connection on the source

2, Front R - RCA red

2, Front L - RCA white 1/8" stereo plug

3, Rear R - RCA red

3, Rear L - RCA white 1/8" stereo plug

4, Center C – white

4, Subwoofer – red 1/8" stereo plug

3. CONNECTING THE POWER ADAPTER

Connect the supplied power adapter to the AC In connector on your 5.1

system (see page 6,)11) and insert the power plug into an easily acces-

sible power outlet. Do not switch on the 5.1 system yet.

OPERATION AND HANDLING

1. Check that all volume controls are set to the lowest position. Turn the

controls on the front (p. 5 /)o, p) of the 5.1 system counter-clockwise

until you feel resistance.

2. Switch on your sound source and play a suitable title.

3. Now switch on the 5.1 system by flipping the power switch (p. 6, 12)

into position I/ON. An LED (n) will show whether the 5.1 system is in

operation.

4. Switch on the desired source (q) to AUX or 5.1 Input.

5. Turn the volume control of the corresponding speakers carefully clock-

wise until a comfortable volume level is reached and a balanced sound

is achieved. Turning the control counter-clockwise lowers the volume.

6. To turn off the volume, switch off the 5.1 system (position 0/OFF) and

then switch off the sound source.
