Setting Up The Speakers - Clatronic DVD 534 HC Bedienungsanleitung

DVD 534 HC - GB 25.06.2002 9:59 Uhr
Operating location of the DVD receiver
Protect the device against moisture and rain. It must not
be operated in damp rooms nor subjected to drips or
splashes. Do not place any receptacles containing liquids
e.g. flower vases, flowerpots on the device. Electrical
current can deliver life-threatening shocks when in
contact with water.
No objects should enter the device through the ventilation
openings as these objects could then touch live parts.
Open sources of fire such as, e.g. burning candles
must not be placed on top of the device.
Caution
If fluids or foreign object get inside the device then
immediately pull the mains plug. Before re-starting the
unit have it checked by an authorised dealer.
Condensed water can build up inside the device when
moved form a cold location to a warm location. Leave the
device switched off for several hours.
The device should be placed on a stable, horizontal sur-
face to ensure that it sits securely and is not subject to vi-
brations.. Vibrations can damage the sensitive electro-
nic components inside the device.
The heat generated when operating the device must be
able to escape. A build-up of heat causes failure to el-
ectronic components.
Do not place the device near other devices that generate
strong magnetic fields (e.g. motors, speakers,
transformers, etc.).
Caution:
To protect the user's eyes, a distance of at least 2 to 3m
should be maintained when looking at the television (4x
screen diagonal).

Setting up the speakers

All speakers should normally be located at the same di-
stance to the listener (except for the subwoofer).
However, this system also allows you to place the centre
speaker and the surround speaker at a smaller distance
to listener. The drawing provides you with a suggestion
for how to set up the front, centre and surround speakers.

Setting up the individual devices
Listener position
For the right and left channels, the front speakers (A)
are set up (A) at the same distance to the listener. For
optimal sound, these speakers should form an isosceles
triangle to the listener. The tweeters should then be at the
same level as the ears of the listener when seated.
For the middle channel, the centre speaker is placed
central to the listening position (B) e.g. under the televisi-
on. The main task of the middle channel is to play back
events that come from the centre (e.g. speech) exactly
from this location.
The surround speakers should be at a sufficient
distance to the left and right of the listener or behind the
listener in area (C). They must not be located below the
ears of the listener when seated.
The Subwoofers can be placed anywhere as the base
frequencies can not be localised by the human ear.
However, sufficient distance form the television must be
observed as the magnetic speaker may otherwise cause
disturbances to the picture.
Notes:
– The distance between the centre speaker and the sur-
round speakers must not be greater than the distance
between the front speakers and the listener.
– The subwoofer should be placed in a corner when
possible in order to achieve maximal playback of back
frequencies. The other speakers should not be placed
in a corner.
– The main direction of the sound from the speakers
should not be impinged by furniture, curtains, etc. The
listener should be able to see the speakers.
– Depending on whether you place the speakers on a
flat surface or on the wall, you should stick the adhesi-
ve film supplied with the device on the base or the re-
ar of the speakers.
