SETTING UP THE SYSTEM COMPONENTS
Soundbar (A): The soundbar should be positioned directly underneath the centre of the TV. If the TV is located on a shelf or sideboard,
the soundbar can be positioned directly in front of the device. If the TV is mounted on the wall, the soundbar should be mounted directly
below the screen by using the supplied wall bracket.
Subwoofer (B): The subwoofer should be positioned on the floor near the Soundbar, usually to the left or right-hand side of the TV. The
distance to the screen should not be less than 100 cm for CRT TVs and 50 cm for flat screen TVs.
Use of the supplied wall bracket for the soundbar is illustrated in Fig.1.
a. Fit the wall bracket under the TV as shown. Please use securing screws and wall plugs (not supplied) suitable for the wall material.
b. Now hang the soundbar in the matching recesses of the wall bracket using the pre-assembled securing bolts.
Important information / safety instructions: The customer is solely responsible for the use of other wall brackets / attachments. The
customer is also solely responsible for the secure attachment of the Soundbar bracket to the wall and the selection of suitable mounting
material (e.g. screws, wall plugs, etc.), while taking account of the weight and construction of the Soundbar and the condition of the wall.
SYSTEM INSTALLATION
Connecting a television (fig. 2):
The SBW 250 is designed to be connected directly to a TV. It can be connected in three different ways:
a) Connecting the TV to the HDMI® port HDMI/ARC (fig. 5, pos. 14):
Connect your TV to this port if it has an HDMI® socket with ARC functionality (Audio Return Channel, HDMI® 1.4 standard).
If the HDMI® port on your TV also supports CEC functionality (Consumer Electronics Control), then basic functions of the soundbar
such as switching on/off, volume and mute can be controlled via your TV's remote control. The CEC functions that are available vary
from TV to TV and should be checked in each individual case. Please refer to the operating instructions supplied with your TV for
further information. Most manufacturers have their own name for the CEC function, however, most end in the term „Link". Note: for
reasons of a technical nature the CEC function is only available via HDMI® ports.
These functions may need to be activated in the TV's settings. Dolby® Digital encoded signals can also be reproduced via the built-
in Dolby®. The necessary connecting cable is not included in delivery.
b) Connecting the TV to the optical digital input DIGITAL IN (fig. 5, pos. 10):
Use the supplied optical cable (G) and connect the digital audio output of your TV to the audio input DIGITAL IN (fig. 5, pos. 9) of
the soundbar. Dolby® Digital encoded signals can also be reproduced via the built-in Dolby® decoders. The necessary connecting
cable is not included in delivery.
c) Connecting the TV to audio input AUX IN (fig. 5, pos. 10):
Use the supplied audio cable and connect the audio output on your TV to audio input AUX IN (fig. 5, pos. 10). If your TV has an audio
output with fixed level, this is preferable to the audio output with variable level.
Connecting additional devices to the soundbar (fig. 3)
Connecting the device to a Bluetooth audio source:
Use the remote control to switch the sound deck to the Bluetooth mode. If you have previously connected a Bluetooth device,
the sound deck will automatically attempt to re-establish a connection with this device. If this is the case, you may be required to
manually reconfirm the connection on the source device. The connection can be resumed from a previously paired source device
at any time, as the Bluetooth function continues to operate in the background regardless of the input selected on the sound deck,
and it is only switched off completely when the standby mode is selected.
If a connection has not already been made or the connection cannot be re-established, the sound deck will automatically activate
the ‚pairing mode'. To switch the sound deck to the pairing mode manually, press the BT PAIR button (fig. 7, pos. 22) on the remote
control. The Display will flash, when the pairing mode is active.
Now activate the Bluetooth mode on your source device. The sound deck will appear in the list of Bluetooth devices as „SBW 250".
If it is not displayed in the list, set your source device to search for Bluetooth devices manually and make sure that the sound deck
has been switched to the pairing mode.
Depending on the source device, you may be asked whether the password is to be accepted during the pairing procedure. You can
confirm this by simply pressing „Accept". If you are still asked for a password, use the default passwords „0000" or „1234". If you
are asked if you want to establish a connection after pairing, please select „Yes". When the device has been paired and connected
successfully, BT is displayed continuously.
The sound deck supports the „Qualcomm® aptX™" high quality audio transmission standard. If your source device also supports
this standard, „Qualcomm® aptX™" will be selected automatically as the transfer mode when establishing a Bluetooth connection.
