Magnat SOUNDDECK 160 Loudspeakers Instruction Manual

Dear MAGNAT Customer,
Congratulations on your fine new loudspeakers and thank you very much for choosing MAGNAT! You have made an excellent choice. The high-quality speakers produced by MAGNAT are renowned all over the world.

Please study the instructions and information below carefully before using your new loudspeakers.

IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Please read through the instruction manual carefully before starting to use the device. This manual contains important information concerning operation and safety aspects. It is imperative you observe all of the information. Keep the manual in a safe location.

WARNING NOTICES: All of the warning symbols on the speakers, accessories and in the instruction manual itself must be adhered to.

EXPOSURE TO HEAT: Only operate the speakers and accessories in a temperature range from 10°C to 45°C. The speakers should not be positioned near heat sources (heaters, ovens, radiant heaters, naked flames, etc.). When setting up close to an amplifier a minimum distance of 10 cm must be maintained. No naked flame sources, such as lighted candeles, should be placed on the apparatus. The metal plate and cooling fins of the amplifier at the rear of the device serve to cool the built-in amplifier; for this reason, they must not be covered (e.g. by a curtain).

EFFECT OF MOISTURE: The speakers should not be exposed to dripping or splash water. Neither should they be used to support vases or other containers filled with liquid. Do not expose the speakers to water or high levels of humidity. There is a danger of electric shock. In the event of contact with moisture or liquids remove the mains adapter immediately.

FOREIGN MATERIAL: Ensure that no foreign material enters through the speaker openings and into the interior. This could trigger short circuits and even result in electric shock and fire.

CLEANING: Please use a soft, dry cloth with no cleaning agents, sprays or chemical solvents, as these could damage the surfaces.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION: Please note the voltage levels on the information signs. The mains adapter for the speaker should only be operated with the voltage and frequency values specified on the signs.

LIGHTNING PROTECTION/PREVENTIVE MEASURES: If the device is not going to be used for a prolonged period (e.g. when on holiday), it should be disconnected from the mains by removing the plug. The device should also be disconnected from the mains in the event of a thunderstorm. Doing this will prevent damage caused by lightning and over voltage.

MAINS CABLE: The mains cable must always be suitable for operation and it should only ever be laid out in a manner that prevents it from being trodden on. It should not be pinched by objects either, as this can damage the cable. When using plugs and power strips it must be ensured that the cable is not kinked at the point where it emerges from the socket. Do not connect or remove the mains cable with damp hands. The mains plug is used as the disconnect device, the disconnect devices shall remain readily operable.

OVERLOAD: Sockets, power strips and extension cables should not be overloaded. If an overload occurs, there is a risk of electric shock and fire.

SETTING UP: Please read the installation instructions.
The speakers should only be positioned or mounted on a solid surface and not on moving base frames, otherwise there is a risk of injury.

DAMAGE THAT MUST BE RECTIFIED BY A SPECIALIST:

If any of the following damage occurs, disconnect the device from the mains immediately and contact a specialist to conduct the repair work:

• Damage to the mains cable or the mains plug. A damaged cable should not be repaired, but must be replaced.
• If moisture or water has entered the device or foreign objects have fallen into the device.
• If the speaker has fallen and the housing is damaged.
• If the device does not work properly, even though all of the information in the instruction manual has been observed.

Only those subsequent alterations approved by the manufacturer may be conducted.

Only original spare parts should be used for repair.

After conducting any repairs the safety of device should be checked to ensure it is functioning correctly and safely.

Repairs must always be conducted by qualified specialists, as you might otherwise be exposed to dangerous high voltage levels or other hazard

The triangle with a lightning symbol warns the user that high voltage is used within the device which can result in electric shock.

The triangle with an exclamation mark informs the user that important operating and maintenance instructions (repair) are contained in the accompanying instruction manual, which must be observed.

Do not open! Risk of electric shock!
CAUTION: In order to avoid electric shock do not open the speaker housing/mains adapters or remove the covers. The user is not to conduct any repairs him/herself.

UNPACKING THE DEVICE

Please unpack the speakers and accessories carefully and check the contents of the box using the list above. In the event of any transport damage, please contact your supplier. Keep the packing material in a safe location. The original packaging enables trouble-free transportation for any subsequent relocation or servicing requirements.

SETTING UP THE SPEAKER

The sound deck should be positioned directly under the centre of the screen. The housing of the sound deck is designed to withstand the weight of a small to medium-sized TV or computer monitor without any problems. If the monitor is located on a shelf or sideboard, the sound deck can be set up directly underneath. If the TV is mounted on a wall, the sound deck should be positioned directly in front of, and below, the set. A solid, level surface is important to ensure proper functionality of the subwoofer chassis, which is located at the bottom of the sound deck.

SYSTEM INSTALLATION

Connecting a television (fig. 1):
The Sounddeck 160 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. 4, Pos. 9):
Connect your TV to this port if it has an HDMI® socket with ARC functionality (Audio Return Channel, HDMI® 2.0 standard).

If the HDMI® port on your TV also supports CEC functionality (Consumer Electronics Control), then basic functions of the sound deck 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 HDMI® connecting cable is not included in delivery.

b) Connecting the TV to the optical digital input DIGITAL IN (Fig. 4, Pos. 7):
Use the supplied optical cable (F) and connect the digital audio output of your TV to the audio input DIGITAL IN (Abb. 4, Pos. 7) of the sounddeck. 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. 4, Pos. 8):
Use the supplied audio cable and connect the audio output on your TV to audio input AUX IN (Abb. 4, Pos. 8). 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 Sounddeck 160 (Fig. 2)

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. 5, Pos. 19) 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 „Sounddeck 160“. 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 „aptX®“ high quality audio transmission standard. If your source device also supports this standard, „aptX®“ will be selected automatically as the transfer mode when establishing a Bluetooth connection.

Connecting an analogue or digital audio source to the sounddeck:
Additional audio sources such as CD players, MP3 players and satellite receivers can also be connected to the analog input AUX IN (Fig. 4, Pos. 8) and to the digital inputs DIGITAL IN (Fig. 4, Pos. 6 and 7) on the sounddeck. When doing this proceed as described in the previous section.

Connecting a USB memory device to the Sounddeck
To playback MP3 or WMA audio data from a USB memory device (FAT formatation), the device can be connected to the USB port (Pic. 4, Pos. 10).

The playback is controlled over the buttons 20, 21 and 22 on the remotecontrol.

Please note:

• The device might not be compatible with all USB device
• Some MP3 or WMA data might not be suitable for playback
• Do not remove the USB device while the Sounddeck is accessing it
• Copyrighted data (DRM) is not supported
• Power rating at the USB port: 5V=/1A

Connecting the power supply to the sound deck:
Included in delivery is the most commonly used mains cable. The mains cable used in your country, however, may be different. If the mains cable is not compatible with your power sockets or if you are in any doubt, please contact your Magnat dealer.

1. Insert the 2-pin mains cable into the socket (5) on the amplifier of the sound deck. (fig. 4)
2. Insert the mains cable into the socket. Make sure that you are using the mains plug that is compatible with the socket (refer to the information above).
