Risk of electric shock!
Faulty installation of electrical equipment or mains voltage which is too high can cause electric shocks.
• The device is only suitable for use with a power supply voltage of 230 V ~ / 50 Hz. Make sure that the mains voltage is correct. For more information, refer to the nameplate.
• Check the unit regularly for damage.
If the unit’s case or mains cable is defective or shows other signs of visible damage, disconnect the power plug immediately from the socket and do not operate the device.
• This device is disconnected from the mains by unplugging the power cord. Therefore, ensure that the plug is accessible at all times.
• Immediately disconnect the AC adapter plug and discontinue using the device if the device emits smoke, you notice burning odour, unusual noises, if the case or the mains adapter is defective or exhibits visible damages.
• If the unit emits smoke or smells of burning or other unusual odours, disconnect it immediately from the power supply and do not operate it.
• Place the device so that no ventilation holes are blocked.
• The standby button does not disconnect the unit from the power supply. For this reason, connect it to an easily accessible socket so that you can quickly disconnect it from the power supply in the event of faults.
• Never open the unit’s housing.
Repairs may only be carried out by an authorised specialist workshop. Only parts which conform with the original unit specifications may be used in this case. There are electrical and mechanical parts in this unit which are necessary in order to avoid exposure to sources of danger.

Setup/wall mounting
Setup location
Cinebar ® 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)
• 2 x screws, 5 x 50 mm
(screw head = ø 10–12 mm)
Risk of damage and electrical shock!
Proceed with caution when mounting the device on the wall and follow the instructions 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.
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. With an 8 mm masonry drill, drill a hole that is approx. 45 mm deep at each of the marked positions.
4. Insert 2 dowels (ø 8 mm) completely in the drill holes.
5. 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
6. 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.
7. If necessary, turn the screws further into or out of the holes until the Cinebar ® 21 Mk2 is firmly mounted on the wall.

Troubleshooting
This product conforms with Council of the
European Union guidelines 2004/108/EC and
2006/95/EC.
The following notes and further detailed information on our website should help you to rectify malfunctions. If this does not lead to success, please contact our hotline 00800 - 200 300 40 (free of charge). Please also observe the warranty notes.
Problem
The device emits no sound.

Push the button or adjust the volume.
Increase the volume.
Adjust the sound settings as described on page 11.
Ensure that the source is sending a clean signal to the Cinebar ® 21 Mk2.
