Introducing Cinebar 51 THX · General functions
Dear Lautsprecher Teufel customer,
Thank you for choosing the Cinebar 51 THX Sy-
stem from Lautsprecher Teufel. Cinebar 51 THX
is a complete system for playing sound and lm
tracks. The Cinebar 51 THX combined receiver
speaker unit combines a two-channel amplier
with two high-quality speakers (Cinebar 51 Unit).
This unit is completed by a matching CB 51 SW
subwoofer that has its own integrated high-
performance amplier. You can connect various
sound sources directly to the Cinebar 51 Unit via
analogue and digital inputs. Thanks to the inte-
grated USB interface, the Cinebar 51 THX System
even allows you to connect mobile MP3 media pla-
yers and USB data storage devices.
The integrated Dolby Digital Downmix Matrix and
additional support from “bass redirection logic”
ensure that media encoded for surround sound,
such as 5.1 sound, are reproduced accurately on
your 2.1 speaker system. Thanks to Dolby Virtu-
al Speakers, the unit can also be used to create
surround sound in 2.1 speaker conguration. In
terms of sound quality, the system lives up to all
the expectations you could have of a Lautspre-
cher Teufel home cinema system.
Please read these instructions carefully before
operating the unit and store the manual in a safe

Outstanding sound playback
You can enjoy music in crystal-clear sound with
the Teufel Cinebar 51 THX System. The Dolby Di-
gital technology developed by Dolby Laboratories
enables the playback of 5.1 surround sound sour-
ces via a 2.1 amplier/speaker system.
Dolby Virtual Speaker technology
The Cinebar 51 THX System supports the Dolby
Virtual Speaker, developed by Dolby Laboratories.
This simulates surround sound playback from ve
speakers and the LFE effect channel in systems
using a two-channel speaker combination with a
subwoofer. Psychoacoustic room modelling pro-
cedures are used to create pseudo-sound sour-
ces that suggest the existence of speakers in the
corresponding room positions. Please see set-up
information on page 7.
Playback from USB storage media
You can use the Cinebar 51 THX to play back audio
les in MP3 and WMA format from USB storage
media. USB sticks with up to 8 GB capacity are
supported.
External audio inputs
Analogue and digital signal sources can be con-
nected to the Cinebar 51 Unit. There are two
analogue stereo inputs and two digital inputs in
optical and coaxial format on the back, where you
can connect Blu-ray- or DVD players, CD players or
satellite receivers.
Repeat
You can repeat one or all tracks on a connected
USB medium, just by pressing the repeat button.
