Speaker positions in the 5.1 configuration General notes on speaker placement Thanks to its elegant and unobtrusive design, the Teufel System 6 THX® Select will easily blend into your living room. In order to get the best possible audio quality from your Teufel system, however, there are a number of speaker placement rules to consider; these apply particularly to home theatre use. As a general guideline, any home theatre system should be concentrated around the viewing area, i.e.
Speaker positions in the 5.1 configuration Note: About the rear speakers of the ® System 6 THX Select Cinema Set: For the best home theatre results, the M 620 D speakers should be run in dipole mode. Dipole mode is selected on the speaker cabinet's connection panel with a switch between the plus and minus terminals (set to inwards). We recommend you place the rear speakers somewhere in the grey rear area. A fourth placement option for the rear speakers is described on page 11.
Speaker positions in the 5.1/7.1 configuration Rear speaker placement option D Concert Set Alternatively, position the left and right direct-radiating rear speakers of the Concert Set behind the main listening spot, ideally at the same height as the front speakers – e.g., on a shelf or on speaker stands. Higher speaker placement is fine, but avoid placing the rear speakers down low. The rear speakers should be positioned at least 1.00 m away from the listener.
Connect the System 6 THX® Select to any standard 5.1/6.1/7.1 AV receiver to set up a 5.1 surround system with an active subwoofer. If your AV receiver is 6.1/7.1, simply ignore the Rear Centre Out(s). To make full use of a 6.1 AV receiver, you will need to install an additional M 620 FCR speaker. If you have a modern 7.1 AV receiver, you can expand your System 6 THX Select with an EX 5.1>7.1 set consisting of two additional M 620 FCR speakers (see page 7) to create a full-blown 7.
Settings Setting up the AV receiver/amplifier For the System 6 THX®Select with M 6200 SW Active Subwoofer, set the “Speaker Setup” section of your AV receiver to “small” or “normal” (not “large”). This ensures that the speakers receive the right amount of signal, and that the subwoofer and front speakers have matching volumes. Also in the receiver's “Speaker Setup” section (Bass Management/Speaker Management), make sure the subwoofer is set to “On”.
Subwoofer controls Remote control The M 6200 SW subwoofer is controlled entirely via the supplied infrared remote control. All the different settings are indicated by the LEDs on the front of the cabinet. Q On/Standby With this button, you can select whether the subwoofer is fully operational or on standby. In “Standby” mode, LED 3 is red until you press the button Q at which point the subwoofer is activated and the LED changes to green. W Level This controls the subwoofer's volume.
Subwoofer controls Subwoofer rear panel Q frequency 40 Hz 240 Hz Teufel Lautsprecher Teufel GmbH Berlin Germany W Line in Left Q Frequency Use this control to set the crossover frequency between the subwoofer's bass signal and the bass frequencies of the other speakers. If you are running the subwoofer from an AV receiver, set the receiver's crossover frequency to 80 Hz and switch the subwoofer to E “Full Range” mode on the remote control (LED 1 lights up).
Problems and solutions · Cleaning The subwoofer is not working If the Power/Standby LED on the front panel does not light up after you have turned on the mains power switch R on the rear panel, replace the fuse with a fuse of equal rating (see page 15, position 5).
