Setup: PC system When using the unit as a PC sound system, concentrating on emitting sound directly at the PC workstation is advisable, that is, the area where the monitor and listener are located. Front Front Center Screw the four spikes into the four threaded holes on the base of the subwoofer. These spikes ensure that the unit is stable, minimise vibrations on the floor and provide enough room for the subwoofer’s resonance opening. The subwoofer may not be operated without spikes. Subwoofer Mounting the table stand You can mount the satellite speakers upright with the enclosed table stands or set them up on their side: Rear Rear Please position the speakers within the grey areas. Center speakers • Place the center speaker in the most central location under/over/on the monitor. Front speakers Screw-tighten the table stands into the desired position with the knurled screws (see figure). Adhere four of the rubber feet to each table stand to avoid vibrations. • The front speakers are set up to the right and left of the monitor or hung at a height of approx. 80 to 160 cm. • They should be in line with the center speaker and form an equilateral triangle with the listener if possible. • The speakers should project sound directly into the room or slightly towards the listener. Rear speakers • The rear speakers should be placed to the side or behind the listener, ideally at the same height as the listener or higher (no more than 2.10 metres). Setting them up any lower is not recommended. Subwoofer • The location of the subwoofer can be freely selected and does not influence the other speakers. A location between the front speakers is often ideal. Operating the subwoofer in the corner of a room is not advisable. • Concept G 850 THX 7 Setup: Home cinema system Rear speakers The following data concern an “ideal home cinema”, in which the viewer or listener sits in a central position at a sufficient distance in front of the television or screen (see the adjacent graphic) and no objects (tables or the like) are located in between. Unfortunately, the room, furnishings or one’s partner do not always allow for optimum arrangement. • The rear speakers are set up or wall mounted to the side or behind the listener at a height of 1.20 m to 2.10 m. • The ideal position is to the left or right, approx. 20 degrees from being parallel with the listener . It is recommended that the distance from the rear speakers to the listener exceeds 1 m. If you (have to) sit any closer, make sure that the front side of the box does not emit noise in your immediate direction and that, by angling the speaker, it is pointed more towards the wall . Or increase the distance by setting up the speakers at a height of more than 1.20 metres (e.g. on the ceiling) or further away . Modern software in playback devices offers a variety of possibilities for electronically compensating losses associated with the arrangement. The following general rule applies: You can always experiment on what works best in your listening room in terms of sound and appearance based on our recommendations. Let your ears (and eyes) be the judge! Front Subwoofer Center Front Subwoofer • The location of the subwoofer can be freely selected and does not influence the other speakers. A location between the front speakers is often ideal. Operating the subwoofer in the corner of a room is not advisable. Wall mounting Danger Risk of damage! Improper mounting may result in damages. Stereo triangle • Ensure that any wall mounting is performed in a professional manner. • Before drilling any holes, use a metal detector to check that no lines are located in the area to be drilled. • Only use suitable screws and dowels to mount the speakers. Verify the carrying capacity of the walls. Rear Rear Please position the speakers within the grey areas. Center speakers • Place the center speaker in a central position under or over the screen. Front speakers • The front speakers are set up to the right and left of the screen or hung at a height of approx. 80 to 160 cm. • They should be in line with the center speaker and form an equilateral triangle with the listener – the so-called stereo triangle (distance from the listener = distance between the speakers). • The speakers should project sound directly into the room or slightly towards the listener. 8 • Concept G 850 THX • Hang the satellite speakers onto the wall using the keyhole openings in the back of the speakers and the previously mounted screws. Connecting Danger Danger of injury/damage! Arrange the cables so that they do not pose a trip hazard. • Pull the power plug of all devices to be connected out of the socket to prevent accidental activation. Observe the correct polarity! Connect the like-coloured terminals. Otherwise, the sound quality will suffer. The strands of the speaker cables are marked with different colours or shapes. Subwoofer 4 • Connect the line-in jacks (4) of the subwoofer with the 5.1 output jacks of the sound card, the decoder station or the DVD player using 6 high-quality RCA cables. Speakers 8 • Split the single wire down to approx. 30 mm on both ends and strip approx. 10 mm of insulation off of each cord. Twist the single wires together so that no strands are protruding. • Turn the connector terminal counterclockwise until loose. Run the stripped cable end into the now visible hole. Turn the terminal clockwise until closed. The cable has now been clamped into place. • Connect all cables to the speakers in this way. • Connect the other ends of the speaker cables to the jacks (8) of the subwoofer in the same manner. Connecting to a power supply 9 • Lay the speaker cable from the subwoofer to each speaker. These cables should be high-quality doublewire speaker cable with marked strands. A small tip: Label the cables on the subwoofer side. This will help when taking down and setting up the system. 10 • Make sure that the mains switch (9) is set to “Off”. • Use the power cord to connect the mains connector jack (10) with an easily accessible socket. • Insert the power plug of the connected unit back in the socket. • Now turn on the connected unit and set the mains switch (9) of the subwoofer to On. • A terminal with a red and black connector clip is located on the back side of each speaker. Here you can connect the speaker cables directly or with optional pin plugs. We only describe the direct connection in these instructions. • Concept G 850 THX 9 Use Configuring the speakers 5 6 Subwoofer settings 7 3 slider switches are located on the back side of the subwoofer which have to be adjusted depending on the position of your satellite speakers: Switch “Front” (7) and “Rear” (6) 1 2 3 The 3 controls on the front side of the subwoofer have the following function: • Bass (1): This control adjusts the bass playback intensity. • Standby (2): This button activates the subwoofer or sets it to standby. • Volume (3): This control adjusts the overall volume. • Wall: This is the correct setting if the satellite speakers are wall hung. It reduces unpleasant bass range increases that comes from the wall. • Free: This is the correct setting if the satellite speakers are mounted on the table stand or are free standing on a shelf or table. Switch “Sub In” (5) • On: Subwoofer is operational. • Off: Subwoofer is muted. Care and cleaning Clean the subwoofer and the satellite speakers regularly with a soft, damp microfiber cloth. When doing so, please be absolutely sure to observe the following instructions: Danger Risk of electric shock! In contact with live parts, water can lead to electric shock or short circuit. • Make sure that no liquid penetrates the unit. • Disconnect the mains plug before cleaning. 10 • Concept G 850 THX Attention Risk of damage! Using the wrong cleaning materials may damage the delicate surface of the case. • If possible, only use plain water without any additives. In case of stubborn marks, a mild soap solution may be used. • In no circumstances should caustic cleaning products, white spirit, thinners, petrol or similar be used for cleaning. Troubleshooting The following advice should help you to solve problems. If this doesn’t work, please contact our hotline (see page 3). Take note of the warranty instructions. Problem The subwoofer isn’t working. Possible cause The subwoofer is off or doesn’t have any power. Fuse defective. The subwoofer doesn’t emit The Sub In (5) switch is set to Off. any bass tones. The subwoofer hums. The subwoofer is connected to a different circuit than the rest of the system. The humming is caused by line disturbance. The humming is caused by a multiple socket. The playback has interference. The sound seems dull. Solution Turn on the switch (9) (“I”). Check the power cord and socket. Replace the fuse: 1. Disconnect the power cord. 2. Carefully pull out the fuse holder (11) on the mains connector jack (10). 3. Push the old fuse down and out. Insert a new fuse (2 A delayaction). 4. Close the holder. Set the switch to On. Connect the subwoofer and the connected device to the same electric circuit. Buy a line filter and connect both devices to it. Use another multi-outlet power strip or connect the subwoofer directly to the wall socket. It may also help to insert the power plug the other way around. Ensure that the source is sending a clear signal. Generally speaking, the Concept G 850 THX is a very low-noise system. In the high range area, very high-quality highresolution speaker systems can expose the poor quality of a signal source (e.g. from MP3 files). Satellite speakers connected with incorrect Make sure the speaker cables of all satellites polarity. are connected properly. • Concept G 850 THX 11 Protecting the environment Disposing of the unit Used units must not be disposed of with household waste!
