Introduction to Concept S SW + R Dolby Digital/dts Dear Lautsprecher Teufel customer, Thank you for buying the Subwoofer Concept S SW+R Dolby Digital/dts from Lautsprecher Teufel.

Original packaging If you intend taking advantage of your eight week right of return, we ask you to retain the original packaging. We can only accept returned speakers IN THE ORIGINAL PACKAGING! Unpacking Fold back the flaps on the top of the box, remove the polystyrene pieces and carefully lift the speaker out of the box. Alternatively you can fold back the flaps on the top of the box and turn the box and the contents upside down.
Accessories (optional) Optional accessories for the Concept S SW + R Dolby Digital/dts Here is an overview of suitable, optionally available accessories for your fully active Teufel subwoofer. Teufel Y adapter cable The first choice for sound connections from PCs, portable CD or MP3 players to amplifiers/receivers or to our fully active speaker systems (e.g. Concept E). A connection to nearly every sound card is guaranteed by the thin plug on the 3.5 mm jack, unlike other Y adapters that we know of.
Setting up the 5.1 configuration General setting up information Much more important than for a stereo system, home cinema systems must observe certain set up criteria in order to optimise the sound quality when using a multichannel surround sound system. For home cinema systems, we recommend concentrating on the area actually used – i.e. the (part of the) room where the TV/screen and seats are located. The TV/screen should be positioned as centrally as possible to the listening location.
Setting up the 5.1 configuration Front The front loudspeakers are placed at equal distances to the right and left of the TV in old stereo fashion (distance to listener = distance between the left and right box) or attached to the wall. If the speakers have to be placed further out, you can easily turn them inwards and towards the listening location.

Frequently asked questions “The subwoofer is buzzing” These buzzing noises may be produced by connected devices or faults in the power network. Excessive buzzing is usually caused by one of the following: 1. The subwoofer is connected to a different power circuit from the rest of the equipment. Ensure that all linked devices (including the PC, if connected) are connected to a single power circuit or plug. 2. The aerial connected to the equipment or TV has a different ground potential to the socket.
Technische Beschreibung Frequently asked questions und · Cleaning Bedienungsanleitung “The subwoofer responds to the remote control of another device / another device responds to the subwoofer remote control”. As there are no fundamental regulations on the distribution of frequencies, each manufacturer can work with the code of its choice. Unfortunately, occasional crossovers in individual cases cannot be prevented.
Glossary Active subwoofer Speaker for bass playback, with integrated amplifier. Very deep frequencies can only be played back with a large-volume speaker. To make sure that the front speakers are kept as compact as possible, a separate subwoofer is used for bass tones. It can be located unobtrusively in the living room: for instance, behind the sofa or under a side table.
